Post your DOHC setup

[spdracr]

i have a good idea of what parts are needed to do the swap but i wanna see how people did their swaps

specify what head u used and what parts u bought

thanks

[reiketsutsukigami]

sonata head evo 8 t-belt evo 8 adjustable cam gears evo cams valve springs and retainers sonata i/m stock t/b evo coil packs i think thats it

[Isaurio]

This will be a good one.
All EVO 8
Head with all internal part
intake mani with tb
water neck
oil dip stick
camshaft
adjustable cam gear
fuel rail
Fuel pressure regulator
evo or walbro fuel pump
injectors with pig tail and resistor box
ECU
MAF
radiator with hoses
coils pack with spark wire set
Camshaft sensor
94 Galant DOHC oem timing belt
Upper and lower timing belt cover
TUNE

[spdracr]

A tune isn't needed for just the head swap but since u swapped the ecu and injectors then u needed it. Right ??

sonata head evo 8 t-belt evo 8 adjustable cam gears evo cams valve springs and retainers sonata i/m stock t/b evo coil packs i think thats it

No sonata water pipe or dip stick or throttle cable ??

[Isaurio]

You need the tune. Because the compression ratio is going to change. And is a different head diferent bore different deck.

[spdracr]

hmmm i didnt know a tune is required

[keith6110]

hmmm i didnt know a tune is required

well.. If you want to get technical, a tune is required for any air or fuel changes. Example:
Adding a cold air or short ram intake = tune
Adding a muffler, axle back, or catback = tune
Port and polishing heads = tune
Bigger injectors = tune

So yea, anything changing fuel and airflow SHOULD be tuned.

[underated]

you dont need a tune to get it running... but like keith said you should tune it or else you wont see the maximum gains.

is there something specific you are looking for spdracr?

1. basically if you are using an evo head you have to use the evo waterneck, thermostat housing. same for sonata use the sonata parts.

2.headgasket use the stock multi layer steel one.

3.use the 94 galant gs timing belt.

4.you have to use both evo timing covers but there will be a gap between the upper and lower.

5. cam gears are not needed with the galant belt but they are cheap and you have it apart so why not?

6.you have the use the evo reluctor for either head. goes on exhaust cam

7. you can use either intake manifold i suggest the evo because you wont be able to fit a strut bar with the sonata manifold.

8. if you use the sonata head i suggest taping the oil feed hole like the evo has while it is off the car and then plug it if you dont need it right away.

9. if you use the evo intake manifold and throttle body get the evo throttle cable and save yourself the headache of trying to use the stock cable.

i might think of more later or ask questions if you need some thing or want to see pictures of specific stuff

[spdracr]

Ok here are the parts I have so far.

Sonata head, water neck, throttle cable, cam gears, thermostat housing, I have evo and sonata intake manifolds.

Can I work with the sonata throttle cable ??

Can I use the stock sonata cam gears with the Galant gs tbelt ??

Do I need a sonata head Gasket ??

Do I need the evo reluctor ?? Cuz I believe I have the sonata reluctor.

I would like to tackle this but I wanna make I have everything before I find out I'm missing something lol.

[underated]

as for the throttle cable im not sure i never tried the sonata one. (got any Pictures?)

no you dont need the sonata head gasket... use the oem 4g64 gasket

no on the sonata cam gears and you have to use the evo reluctor and bolt. order for dealership or mitsubishiparts.net its like $25 for both.

here is why you cant use the sonata or galant stuff

evo - galant - sonata

[reiketsutsukigami]

No sonata water pipe or dip stick or throttle cable ??

yea had to use the sonata water pipe but nope stock dipstick n throttle cable work with no issues for me plan on changing the throttle cable soon though its just too long.

the last pic made sense of exactly why i need the evo reluctor

do u have the part numbers for the reluctor and the bolt brandon ??

i dont have a pic of the throttle cable but i could get one once i dig it out i guess

[Galanttuner10]

reluctor called a camshaft position sensing cylinder by mitsubishi is MD375814 and the bolt is MD368730

17.32 for the cylinder and 2.97 for the bolt is what my computer is showing me. need any other part numbers let me know

thanks man, ill let u know if i need other part numbers

nice job thanks for the part numbers and price.

Brandon I saw above you said you dont need the adjustable cam gears. How would you time the engine correctly without them? I mean in theory you could just eye ball the cam position when you set the belt tension but I dont think you would be able to achieve proper belt tension between the two cams by doing it this way. I know that there is a good amount of room for error, I recall measuring my setup before we put the head on and I recall having about 12 degrees worth of room before I would have piston to valve contact, this is also because I have wiseco's with deep valve reliefs as well.

[Isaurio]

^^ yeah. Even if you get the right belt from the 94 GS galant you need at least 1 adjustable cam gear. If you get both even better, is good to have. I did a lot of reasearch on evon and help from Stewi for my evo swap.

[Galanttuner10]

You guys can't use the 94 GS cam gears by just switching them so the timing marks line up on your car? Like put the intake gear on ur exhaust gear and our exhaust on your intake. That way the dowel pins will be straight up and marks pointed at each other.

[Stewi]

Chris I never tried that. The issue is our timing marks arent on the head, they are on the valve cover. So you match the groove in the gear with the valve cover groove
