Galant306m's turbo build

That does not look like a real mhi 20g at all. The compressor housing doesn't even look close unless you got one of those bastard 20g's in which the compressor housing still doesn't look right at all. Another way to tell thats not a mhi 20g is how the internal wastegate is mounted.

its a ebay tdo5 20g, i thought it looked weird when it got here. it has all the serial numbers on it.

Noice!

I stuck it in my pooper last night, thanks Mitch!

alright guys nearing the end of my build.

crank has been shipped to my grandfathers house, and i will be honing the cylinders, im going to go pick my pistons up and take them to work for a nice hot bath then clean the ring groves so i can reassemble the block after i get it honed.

Now time for some questions that i have,
Timing is the biggest question i have, since i bought the adjustable cam gears does anyone know what to set the at.

With the 5spd swap are the axels the same or is the spline different, the trans is out of a 94gs.

I know that im going to run dsm link, does it matter what year eprom i get? The only reason i ask this is my car is setup for OBD2, but i don't have emissions in my county so i dont know if it will really make a difference.

Ugh since i have the money to buy everything i need now, this is getting really stressful because there are just so many things im unsure of.

Help me out if you have info on any of this, im not completely lost i just need help confirming my thoughts.

**Galanttuner10** · 07-13-2009, 05:10 PM

for the cam gears they are 63 so they should be advanced half a notch from stock 63 timing

i believe the axles are the same as when i ordered my new axle the only question was abs or non not auto or 5 spd

shouldnt mater what year eprom as long as its eprom and socketed

Since you have a 96, a 2g EPROM will be easiest to wire. If you want to rewire every single wire into the 3-plug 1g setup, then get a 1g EPROM ECU.

**Shadow19** · 07-13-2009, 06:01 PM

My auto axles swapped over to my 5 speed... Im not sure what year my tranny is out of but i think its a 94. Also from speaking with John about tuning and whatnot. DSM link isnt the way to go. Get the ostrich eprom emulator and talk to john what program to run on that. The emulator is all of like 100 bucks and the software is free and from what he said its far better than dsm link. i dont see spending 600 bucks for that shit if you dont have to u know?

**Galant306m** · 07-13-2009, 10:26 PM

Thanks guys, I actually contacted ams about my timing question. They say to set them at tdc and adjust 2 degrees clockwise, so that is solved since the markings on my gears are in degrees.

**bmore303** · 07-14-2009, 05:45 AM

Since he has a 96 Galant it would be easiest to run some form of 2G tuning, pretty much making ostrich a more difficult setup in this case. As far as DSMlink goes, quite a bit has changed since v2 to v3, not to mention some updates they have coming. I would read further into it and decide for yourself as both are capable of the same thing. That's def a 16G housing on that turbo. Hope it all works out well for you.

you should have said something i would have bought it off of you lol, o well the one that i got has the plug with some wires on it so it might be easier to hook up.

**Shadow19** · 07-16-2009, 03:30 PM
