91 Galant VR-4 "Slutty Paula"

Like I mentioned before it could be worn out synchros. Have you tried changing the fluid? Maybe it's old.

No I haven't even looked at the fluid :/ The kid told me he had his friend at the dealership in town put in all new fluids, but he also said the car had a 16g on it lol, so I guess I should probably look into that.

p.s. first thing's first...anybody have an old working boost gauge they want to get rid of? I should probably check what this thing is even running at haha.

Yeahhhh, I would definitely check in to that. So far the previous owner doesn't seem like he knows much and/or cares much. lol

So you're saying that just by changing the fluid your tranny doesn't grind at all anymore?! Woah nice!

I see over on GVR4.org you were asking about intercooler setups. Personally, I picked up an EVO core from GoodHart and am gonna do custom piping to it. Others go with the ETS kit, but thats a little spendy new.

I have seen others run a back door style intercooler off a 1g. But it takes some work to get it to fit right. Mainly making room between the sides on the radiator to fit the piping.

I have also seen people use the JDM FMIC setup but they are said to not be much of an upgrade.

Thanks for the reply. Yea I thought about going with an evo fmic, but I feel like it might be just as easy to get an ebay setup with pipes as a package and then cut/weld the pipes to work. The evo fmic are nothing to brag about if I remember right. I mean, I don't plan on ever going past a 16g, so it'd probably work for me, but I'll probably go with an ebay one for convenience sake

Ya, I know they aint that great, but for me it will do fine. And what they call a FMIC on the galant is funny as hell. lol.

Hey Brian, I got a nice autometer boost gauge 30-0-20 that I can get rid of for pretty cheap, works perfectly. Send me a PM if interested. Includes everything like you would buy new, mostly everything is sealed still.

Paula, you slut.
