m-rod's 99 GTZ

It is truly the craziest sounding galant in the states. Matt I think we need to take a video.


I also have a birthday present for you...

I also have a birthday present for you...

Your wang is not a gift, nor a present!

Matt - Shoot me a text about what you've found out about your pre-Cookout adventures. Let me know whats up.

It's the next best thing, and a full service to go with it... >:D

Also, I'm looking for a donor galant who wants to be the first ever DOHC V6 swap. That said if you see one on craigslist with a blown motor or trans for cheap, lemme know...

[keith6110]

Enough tease and more video! Lol. You put this catback on an actual gst and it does wonders. I can only imagine what it does for a big bore v6.

[Silvertune]

I picked up 15whp on my 3.6 when I was running on 4 cylinders...

Thing with Matt's car is it was open headers before. lol. I haven't heard from him in a few days though, hope everything's okay.

[M-Rod]

Everything is ok, relatively speaking. I've just been laying low lately and taking care of a few personal things. I almost took some video this weekend, but decided against doing anything car related while up in Duluth. I did however, manage 28mpg on my trip.

Justin, if you have any free time this week, I wouldn't mind getting together and getting a few sound clips of the exhaust for both cars. I may even setup my tripod for a few clips later today, who knows.

[Silvertune]

I'm out of town this weekend, but next weekend I'd be down for engine mounts and sound clips. Did you get my text..?

[M-Rod]

No I never got it. But did I hear you say engine mounts?!? Please tell me you found a rear mount so I can ditch my shattered aluminum remains.

[M-Rod]

Better late than never, but here is an exhaust clip as promised :)

oooh that sounds great

[M-Rod]

There was a small gathering at Silvertune's place yesterday for a few small but great projects. This brings good news.

Early picture to kick it off.


For anybody installing Prothane motor mount inserts, THIS is why you sleeve your mounts.



...and change all of them at the same time.


The new ones before going in. Fully sleeved with no slop in the bolts. My much hated wheel-hop has been eliminated and the front wheels feel nice and planted. It was long overdue.


And those ugly little firewall tabs on the 3G strut bar that we don't need... goodbye.


New member gojirars also made it over so we were able to meet him, and we got him setup with the 6g72 tb on his 4cyl. It was a good day to be had by the MN 8G/3G group.

This is how I just sleeved mine


Just out of curiosity what did you use to sleeve it? I used a 3/8 steel nipple...

[Silvertune]

Ace carries the steel sleeves. I've been selling a kit on club3g for awhile now.

[8thLS6]

That 3g looks the business!

[M-Rod]

^Because it IS! It belongs to Silvertune.

On a side note, the car is done for the year (minus the dyno day on the 20th)

A destroyed bumper, and a screw through the sidewall of a tire are my telltale signs that enough is enough for a season. With that said I will be taking it out for the Mitsubishi Dyno Day on the 20th to get some official output numbers for the 6G75 with ported intake manifolds and throttle body, and the 3" exhaust. I'll throw a mismatched tire on the rear since I won't care about cosmetics, just to get me to MAP. Other than that, expect the final numbers I plan to put down with the 75 in 2 weeks.

If all goes to plan, it will be pulled and done with it's life in my Galant after that. Major changes are on the way.

[polishmafia]

You've have led the way for so long Matt. First 75 with the 5 speed... I wonder what's next! :)

[Silvertune]

Feel free to wonder. Just know it might have a slight silvertune esque twist on it.

[M-Rod]

In short, it will be the highest revving 6g7x to date in an 8G ;)

Capable of more than the factory tach can display. Though most likely I'll keep conservative enough for it to last.

[Rach3T8G]

Now i'd love to see a high revving 6G7x

[Silvertune]

7 is terrifying on the big block. Downright terrifying.

Matt I don't know how you're going to pull off 8k. Not mechanically, that'll be fine, but in your gut. Lol
