91 Galant VR4 #597 Project redemption

[Pushit2.0]

This is my new Galant VR4 I picked up last week to get up and running as my new daily. It needs a turbo and the wiring fixed. Along with a hand full of other odds and ends. Tonight I fixed up the engine bay harness that was shortened by someone and when I did get the car home it would not start or run, but now it starts.

Its kind of weird to see them next to each other.

The turbo is bad, so I will be swapping that out starting tonight. And I am putting power steering back in the car, well the pump was never removed but the AWS was taken out, so I just need to cap the lines going to the back of the car.

I looked in the car today and found the factory limited edition key chain.

Some body messed with the engine bay harness a little to much.

They were doing it wrong.

I have a Eprom ECU I will use to tune the car. I am going to put the china evo 3 16g on the car and getting it driving around, then I will put some work into swapping on the mutt level 1 I put on the moon taxi, back in the day, and supporting mods to make a fun daily.

It also has the cyclone dual runner manifold on it now, I will do some thinking on if I can make it work like it should, that would help power under the curve a lot, something the moon taxi has none of, could be fun.

It also has a 4 bolt rear end and a 5 lug swap and a small FMIC with some OK piping. We will see how this comes together in the next week or so.

How'd you get it running? JUST curious.

ps: Where do you find all this motivation?

If you look at the pic of the engine bay with the wirering all layer out I cut out every spot you see red shrink tube as they were soldered together there. A few wires for the coil and transistor pack broke as I was stripping the e tape off. So I figure there were a few connections that were not good.

And as for motivation, I am not sure.
