did a leak down test on it and at this stage atleast 2 but maybe more valves are bent but untill the head comes off next week wont know the complete extent of the damage

Ouch man, that's gotta hurt

Who did you get to do the dyno tune ?

**DOHCstunr** · 12-27-2009, 03:46 PM

damn man that really sucks.
I was never brave enough to run without a timing cover.

Damn.

**7gvr4** · 12-29-2009, 01:37 AM

yeah didnt have the cam belt covers on for 2 reasons (a) was planning on pulling the head off early next year and (b) didnt have the covers

i had nzefi doing the tune, not there fault though cause i told to run it without covers and to be fair they were just as disapointed as me

and JDMFTW yeah iv been following your build and gotta say very impressive what you've done

**Goku** · 01-02-2010, 12:48 AM

Yea, I had NZEFI doing mine too, they do a good job :)

Good luck with the rebuild, anything you need let me know, I have access to quite a bit of Galant and Evo parts/knowledge.

well i got some good news today and the pistons have little more than a scratch on them ( thank god for forged pistons ) so the head is off to the reconditioners on monday

will hopefully have it running this week, will find out if they got a power reading before it blew

**7gvr4** · 01-10-2010, 09:27 PM

well got the head in to car aid this morning and will have it back tomorow afternoon

got some good news out of this, found out the valves have been replaced at some stage with 1mm oversized items, so got some new ferrea valves going in, more good news is that its only the inlet valves that need replaced

also when i had the valve springs put in it looks like the guys who did it didnt put the valve sleeves in properly and they are completly f*cked now, so its good to find that out now instead of in a month or 2's time

**7gvr4** · 01-15-2010, 10:39 PM

well got it back and gave it one hell of a road test, picked it up from nzefi at 2pm yesterday and at half 5 i was on the road to auckland

the car is a definate monster around town with a very small power band, basically makes all of its power over 1500 revs

over all very impressed considering all the problems trying to get it going it came together just in time and didnt miss a beat the whole trip up

will have to a vid up of it idling for you guys, sounds sorta like a rota, but it shakes the car at the same

**Shadow19** · 01-16-2010, 09:12 AM

Thats sweet man. Seems like a solid build. However you hacked the fuck out of that front bumper didnt ya?

**Goku** · 01-16-2010, 05:35 PM

Holy Crap

That's one hell of a power curve.... Nice :D

**7gvr4** · 01-17-2010, 10:22 PM

**Goku** · 01-18-2010, 03:34 AM

Sounds very nice man, well done :)

You should come out and meet up with the guys from club VR-4 sometime

**7gvr4** · 01-18-2010, 03:39 AM

yeah i would man but it doesnt seem like much is going on in aucks unfortunately

**7gvr4** · 02-07-2010, 11:37 PM

figured it was about time i stopped being slack and got up a pic of the engine now its going and finished.......for now

**DOHCstunr** · 02-08-2010, 12:03 AM

those motor mounts need to go!

**7gvr4** · 02-08-2010, 12:15 AM

yeah they arent the best looking but they are custom made so i cant get anything off the shelf, ill have a look at tidieing those up once im done with the exterior and interior

**hk20000** · 04-28-2010, 05:17 PM

you, my man, has pretty much built my dream car. Subscribed.

**7gvr4** · 05-27-2010, 01:30 AM

well i figure that this is more than overdue for an update, so for the last couple of weeks the cars been at the panelbeaters getting all the dents taken out and smoothed over, it's now all primered and ready and waiting for the new paint job of gloss balck with a red pearl thrown in for good measure, its due to come be finished on tuesday

but today i received this package in the mail

in which i found the most expensive chocolate bar of all time ( which wasnt an empty wrapper at the time but soon was )

and then i found this

it will be fitted and tuned as soon as i have time, should be in july unless i find time next month
