Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

+1. Very high quality work. I hope I get to see this thing run down the track this year.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Looking good John! Great info!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Wish I could do this type of shit, lol. This build thread is awesome, props to you!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Great engine build update, good pics. I'm in for cedar falls, I just checked their schedule and there is a test day the 14th of May.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

That's our spring dyno day!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Awesome work as always! I can't wait to see what this thing can run!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Super excited for the grove creek runs! I live about 25mins from there and work about 5 mins from there. What events are you planning on attending at grove creek? Just the test and tune nights?

A1 Technology L19 head studs torqued to 105lf/lbs with a lot of ARP moly lube.

Now with my FIC blue max 2150 injectors I have enough fuel system for 1000ahwp.

Now the car looks the part on the inside, I bought a 2nd race seat last year, but did not have time to install it. Then I just need to install the passanger side door bar, and the window net and the inside is done and ready for the track.

I am waiting on the last few items to finish up the motor then its time to install this bad boy.

We be working on it, the dyno day will be here in no time.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Looks great, building motors is fun. Not driving the car while the motor is being built sucks.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

amazing work!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

This is awesome! You have a lot to be proud of.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Holy shit. That's awesome! Awesome work! I hope I get to see this thing in person this year.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Nice, so you plan on being at the dyno day with it?

Can I get a ride? Its been a long time since my last one. How big is that downpipe it looks awesomely monsterous.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

WTF that turbo looks like it came from a helicopter!! That's fantastic! If I could do half that stuff I wouldn't be driving my car nearly as carefully as I do! ^_^

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

You badass! Get that motor broken in and see you at DB next weekend :D

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Looking good John hope you make it to the dyno day with or with out the car........

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I want to drive the car to the dyno day, if its tuned I will put it up for some numbers. We will be putting in a full week in the garage to get it ready.

The down pipe is 4", and the turbo is a GT4202.

~John

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

What kind of numbers are you shootin for?

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Last year the setup made 650awhp with 38psi and E-85. This year I plan to run E98 and I want to turn the boost up until we find the bottle neck in the setup. I think at 50psi on E98 the car could make 850ish, we will see though.

~John

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Candidate for 'Name Dat Powa'?!?!?! :D

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Fucking Beast Mode right here.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

and if you blow you head gasket you gonna oring the block and push 80psi lol!! but seriously 50psi!! WOOAHHHHH!!!!!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Perma torque head gasket, head is within .0015" of flat, and the block was decked in a $150,000 dollar Sunnen V30, torqued down with A1 Technology head studs. It should handle what ever the turbo can throw at it.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

1 Step closer.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...photos_093.jpg

Tranny and most of the under side is done.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...photos_094.jpg

Just a few more things under the car to finish.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...photos_096.jpg

Inter cooler, hear exchanger, radiator, and a few other items to finish this up.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...photos_097.jpg

FIC Blue Max 2150 Injectors installed, I just shortened the fuel rail mounts and removed the plastic spacers, then added studs to bold the rail down.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...photos_110.jpg

So after the car makes 850 some AWHP and takes the fastest Galant VR4 record I plan to enjoy this with the friends and family that helped make this car possible.


So just a few more things to finish up, I hope to start the car up tomorrow.

~John

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

The car started last night, now I just need to do an oil change and go do some vacuum pulls to break in the motor.

~John

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

AWESOME!!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

amazing! You definitely need that johnny walker right there lol.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

You better not kill me tonight :)

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Wahoo! Be careful guys! See you (and the car I hope) saturday!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Testing in the rain tonight?

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

It would have been for drivability, but the weather got the best of us, the car has no blower motor, window defrost, or wipers.

On a plus the car should be up at DB saturday if its not raining hard.

~John

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Awesome!!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Don't Dyno before 12:30. I want to see this thing rip.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/..._6829925_n.jpg

I was able to drive the car up to the MitsuStyle dyno day for some motor break in miles. Its about a 16mile round trip and the car drove it with out a hitch. My friend Ryan was able to ride with me for the cars first drive this year.

A few things I learned on this drive, the cold can be an issue, as I do not have a blower motor or heater core.

The coolant temps do not stay above 180 while driving down the road at high way speed, and if I turn the radiator fan an the coolant temps drop quick.

The oil temps even with running about 30psi less oil pressure then last year are up around 30-40 deg F while driving around, it was about 200 deg driving home, which any good synthetic oil can handle with out an issue. So we can see a big change in adding this much hard block to the motor, the oil is doing a lot more cooling then last year. And if the oil temps get hotter then 220 while dynoing I will just add an oil cooler and that should take care of the oil temps.

I will have some dyno time setup for later this week, then there are a few days at Grove Creek before the end of the month, I want to get the 60' working before we head back to Rock Falls, which there is a day on June 4th at the Rock I would like to get to, but we will see.

~John

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

awesome man. keep it up! i wanna hear this beast

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Dyno time is setup, so if it goes well I will be heading to the track Saturday for 60' testing.
