    injector pulsewidth and deadtimes are on separate tables. the tables are determined by battery voltage.
    If your battery is old, you are taxing your alternator trying to keep it charged, and your ecu will run weaker injector maps.

    old battery=weak performance.

    Get a new one before you kill your alternator. a walmart battery is better than what you are rocking today.

    even if... the usdm 8g towers are too tall. Hell, dont most of the c/f hoods have to be trimmed just to clear the strut tower? With that said the the 8g vr4 bar even if it could be bolted on, would more than likely have to go through the hood lol.

    Itll be different for each car depending on how your hood is aligned. The way I was gonna do it was by putting some toothpaste on the tower bar and then close the hood and cut off the it was printed
    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.

    It's not Galant Vientos they are on. The Viento is the BASE model Galant, usually with 1.8 4cyl or 1.8/2.0 SOHC V6 engines.

    That five door liftback is called the Galant Sports in Japan, with the turbo 4WD one being the Galant Sports GT. As above all of them are two tone, facelift only (so they have the "diamond edition" bumper) and have that nudge bar on the front, which I think looks f**king ridiculous

    ^I think that brush guard looks cool, it demonstrates the Galants Rally history, perhaps some rally style lights could be mounted on it....

    On my silver 7G it must look georgious.... And it would be the first one here that it would have...
    I like this offroad-style - would be interisting to see how it looks if the car is lowered with 18"-rims...
