    Hi TGC from Puerto Rico

    Hi guys I am from Puerto Ric home of some of the craziest 4 banger most are hondas thought:smt105. I am a proud owner of a galant Es 2001 4g64 engine bought it for 2,200$ and mechanically speaking its in mint condition but the exterior needs some work but that i will do later in time. First i am planning on making it fast about 240-260whp will do

    My plans for my galant is to break the 250whp mark as i have read the club3g forums dsmtuner forums and TGC forums i have learned that my galant has potential and the best way to get it out is via FI and I hope you guys help me to walk in the right direction. And there are no heavily performance tuned galants down here and i need my shit to be well made so i can represent the galant community down here in Puerto Rico

    soo here is what i have on the car at the moment

    2.5" from cat to muffler
    CAI
    and thats it :smt105

    Here is what i have in my garage
    16g garret turbocharger from eclipse Gs-T 2g(35$ bought it with a bent compressor blade not bad though it didn't scratch the turbo, I am Taking to a Shop tomorrow to get it fixed )
    2G Stock exhaust turbo manifold (its meh for performance but its in very good condition) and 2G Wastegate(40$)
    Oil lines for the turbo(came with turbo)
    2G stock intercooler(20$)
    Universal Blow off valve(from ebay not sure about this one what do you guys suggest?? for a 260whp build)(40$)
    440cc WRX Injectors unmodded (should i mod them?!?! and are they exact bolt-on i've heard that i need 1/8 spacers feel free to correct me)(75$)
    255LPH walboro Fuel Pump(99$)
    NGK spark plugs for the 2g eclipse(came with turbo :p) will post serial number tomorrow dunno where they are

    Stuff that i still need
    Fuel pressure Regulator(What do you guys suggest)
    Fuel Rail(Again any suggestion) I have heard the evo FPR+evo Fuel Rail fits in our cars but do we have clearance issues with CC?? and will it fit the WRX injectors won't be a match for the evo fuel rail???
    Evo Oil Pan I have read its a direct bolt-on( Confirmation on this would be great)

    Doubts below!!!!

    Also can our A/T handle 260whp?? my friend and DSM tuner tells these transmition are very weak should i get a manual swap asap or can it wait or can our transmission hold if i don't abuse it?? is 250WHP too much for a stock motor?? Is it possible to reach 250WHP with the 16g??? i know its dependant on the tune i just want to know if its possible. Is it possible to use EcuFlash, instead of using a piggyback or standalone???(a friend of mine who is an expert on the J-bodies [Cavalier,Sunfire] told me that i didn't need to buy a piggyback)

    After i finish with the power i will do the following
    Repaint the exterior by a shop
    Get quality coilovers(Suggestion would be great)
    17inch Rims(Friends has lancer GTS rims wondering if those would fit our car clearance on this would be great )
    also thinking on getting JDM folding mirrors, headlights and taillights and vr4grill
    GTZ spoiler

    soo what do you guys think did i went too cheap on the turbo built I felt I spent too little but then again i got the turbo cheap as hell :p IMO, opinions are welcome and suggestions are even more welcome :p

    Sorry for the wall of text :smt105
    And Mispells im not a english teacher :p
    Edit: Our Car market is US market just to clear things up

    Again thanks all for the warm welcome :smt026

    Here are some pics that you guys wanted will post more later on the stuff i have @ my house

    These photos want me to hold on the turbo project to buy some rims and repaint the exterior but speed is my number 1 priority

    These are cell pics... still better than nothing


















    Soo i din't had time to go to the turbo shop today I will go tomorrow but i went to the muffler shop today and took out some POS muffler it wasn't the stock one i think it was some turbo thrust or thrust turbo can't remember it sounded rice, so we Installed a Flowmaster 40 Series Delta Flow now the sound is rich and way deeper than the one before it, it ALMOST sounds like a muscle car :p just not as deep but still deep I will record the sound tomorrow to see what you guys think

    You should spend some extra money on a set of wheels. Would make it look 10x's better, and maybe some tint too.
