    WOW! Didnt see this thread til today. Had no idea the amount of performance mods you've put into this car. From what I saw, looked like you just liked changing the paint on your car quite often! LOL! But seriously, much respect. Car has come aloing nicely. Im liking the 8G spoiler on here too. Creative, the EVO spoiler is a lil too much IMO. Not a fan of the wheels tho, some EVO wheels would look tits on here, or another nice set of 17"s. But at any rate cant wait to see the finished product! GL :)

    Yeah, I need to save up some cash for the Evo wheels, not that I dont like mine, but just these dont clear the 4-piston calipers, or get wheel spacer/adapter

    i'm really enjoying seeing your g come along. Just a heads up, your gauges look good where they are, but once you start making real power, its hard enough just to look at the tach, let alone a couple small gauges waaaay outside your field of vision.
    I'm running 24psi daily, and
    its hard as hell to read my wb on the a-pillar lol. When everything on the otherside of your windshield starts to blur... Looking down just doesn't happen for me lol.

    ever thought of filling in the auto trans indicators in your cluster?

    your car looks shiny man

    Yeah, ppl are selling them all the time on Craigslist. Matter of fact, I think Greddy is still selling his EVO IX wheels for $400 shipped in his FS thread...

    I have a cluster off manual galant fitted with prosport temp gauge. It will look really nice when its done. Im tired of not knowing what exactly is going on in the engine.

    just a head up:

    Peanos car was fairly quick on a SOHC w/13b haha. Also, Angel made 274whp on a SOHC 14b @ 15psi. A SOHC 16g @ 15psi should yield over 300whp.
    7g for life!

    Sweet.
    I had thought about completely gutting the factory cluster and using all Defi gauges. 5" tach and speedo, 2" fuel and coolant temp. Custom wire the indicator lamps to the factory bezel.

    Would look badass, Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut I find it so hard to spend money on things like that lol. Especially when I need paint, a built motor, and a lsd

    OK, its on. Got the lil stuff all fixed and its working now. I still have to figure shit out with the AFR at idle. I started with less than 1psi and now its running at 4 psi at full boost. Ill play with it some more these days. The AFRs go down to mid 11s at full boost, cruise is at 14.5-15, idle at 17.5. Its fully spooled at 3500 rpms

    where is your wide band O2 located? If it is to close to the turbo you will get a false reading because of the heat. You want to keep it behind the cat, or test pipe if you don't have a cat, heat is down and it will be a better reading.

    Oh no. Wideband is always before cat, always. The cat will give you lots of false readings. Usually for DSMs the bung is welded 18'' from the turbo. Right now mine sits 2 inches away from the oil pan drain bolt
