Re: 91 Galant VR4

Cash money is about all I need to finish this build. Here are the update pics, and this will be it for a while. I will be storing the car for a few months, just until I have the cash to finish the project, then it will be reassemble with some minor touch up here and there.

Re: 91 Galant VR4

Gawd Ver. 2.oh no is looking great.

Keep up the hard work a lot of people are happy for you and excited to see this on the road.

Re: 91 Galant VR4

The car runs, it would have fired right up but I forgot to mark which coil was what, so after 10min of poking it starts and cams at 1400rpm on E-85 with an old map I had converted to 550cc primary injectors and E-85.

Now for the bad news, to make a long story short I was trying to get the car on the dyno and up to the MAP shoot out this weekend. But the Evo 3 3rd and 4th gears I bought for the home made Stage 4 tranny are on national back order and I will not have them for a few weeks.

I would ask to buy or borrow a tranny or just the gears from a tranny but I think I can wait a little longer for my parts to show up. So for now here is a small look at what we have been up to for the past 2 months.

Here is a run down of the new shinny parts:

- Tranny, everything to make a stage 4 tranny: evo 3 1st gear, cut double syncro 2nd, evo 3 3rd and 4th gear conversion, new bearings threw out, welded center diff, welded parts on the front diff you help keep it in 1 piece, new shift forks, new magnetic drain plugs, new throw out fork and throw out bearing, etc

- Quarter master twin disk clutch

- Tial 38mm WG with 1.6bar springs x2

-Tial 50mm bov

-A1000 fuel pump, filters, and FPR

-PTE 550s primary and ford 1600cc secondary injectors

-civic 1/2 sized radiator

-17" wide Kirkey race seat and 5 point harness for the passanger side

-A ton of electrical stuff to make everything work

-BF goodrich T/A drag radials 225 50 15's this should give me a 9.2" contact patch at all 4 corners

-etc

So I hope to get it down the track this season yet, but as the title goes on the galantvr4.org post, the never ending project.

Re: 91 Galant VR4

Looks great!!! Interesting how you mounted the coils.

Re: 91 Galant VR4

Is this what you called about?! What can I do to help?

Re: 91 Galant VR4

How come the wastegate's are not at the collector?

It's a divided housing, but yeah, I guess it would still be doable down there.

Re: 91 Galant VR4

Best of luck with the finishing touches! It really sucks that those tranny parts didn't show in time, I was moving things around to be able to make it the the MAP event and see this run. :(

Re: 91 Galant VR4

I haven't looked at this thread in a while and WOW, crazy to see the progress!! Keep up the good work!

Re: 91 Galant VR4

I know its divided. I've never seen anyone place gates like that. I've always saw them at the collector.

Re: 91 Galant VR4

When I made the manifold I was not looking at cutting the front of the car off. So at the time that was the only place they would fit. If I can get the boost down to 28psi with out much creep I will be ok.

Re: 91 Galant VR4

Looking very good so far John. Very impressive. :drive1:

Re: 91 Galant VR4

Are you going to countersink the inner bolts for the QM or grind down your shift fork?

Re: 91 Galant VR4

Wow man I would have to say that this thing has come so far since I seen it at LSE. Great job man!
