I call co-pilot ride again!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

[QUOTE I also might have to upgrade to a ball bearing version of the GT4202, the standard bearing version will not last forever at high boost. And thanks for looking.

~John[/QUOTE]

So do you want to sell it for a 2nd time. Shane is selling a gt4294r for cheap

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I will run the turbo I have until something bad happens. The 4294 would be to small for what I want to do with the car.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Guy in pa went 9.40@150s@35psi
did 9.09@164@44psi, what more u want?
(u r crazy)

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I drove my car when it was making 47psi, and it was not fast enough.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I could of told you that.
GT4202 74mm, was making 933awhp 2 years ago ran mid 9s.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

It only ever made 30-35 PSI on the dyno, the clutch wouldn't let it make anything more.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I can't wait to see this car back on the road! Good luck finishing up the build.

Engine bay shoot, its getting a little crowed in there again.

Just enough room for the SMIM.

I will find a spot to stick the waste gate.

Yes that is diamond plate.

This is one of the only good runs the car made at high boost, and we let off early for some reason, it revs to ~9700rpm and this run ended at ~9000rpm.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...icture_119.jpg
Here is a MPH power band display. That is Kyle's 1g off the spray, again my run was shut down early so I "guessed" what it would do based on the WG pressure runs that were brought to redline. The boost does spike on my car, then the clutch slips and it settled at 36psi, on the street I logged as high as 47psi stable. The car was making the standard ~10hp per psi, at least from WG pressure(26psi) to the higher boost runs (36psi).

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Looking good.
I found the non cruise cable for you

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Looks crazy in there.
Diamond plate = pimp

Yes, there are race seats going into the back of the car.

The exhaust manifold is almost done, I just need to place the waist gate and port it. I will be putting the head back on this weekend, then finish up the fab needed to get this thing on the engine dyno.

~John

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Omfg, that is soooo cool to have 4 seats!!!!!!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Nice.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

very nice

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

mwhahaha, engine dyno time quickly approaching, most excellent.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I want a ride in the back!!! Haha

The head is now ready to put back onto the short block.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...icture_139.jpg
This is where the exhaust rocker tried to exit the head.

I have to make a new end tank for the water to air to the throttle body, so I started on the turbo side to eliminate the inter cooler pipe I used before.

I have a few more ideas to make working on the front of the car easier, and it should shed a few more lbs in the process, more to come on this over winter.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Looks great!!! Sweet build!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Lol nice exhaust manifold stand! I can tell you have the spiders out from it!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

awsome build!! hope to see this in person someday!!

Re: 91 Galant VR4

It was not easy, but it should work.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...icture_038.jpg
There will be a 3.5" coupler where the blue tape is to connect the end tank out let to the throttle body.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...icture_041.jpg
Here a few shots with it out of the car, I used the same method as the runner entry on the SMIM to blend the end tank into the throttle body. Also I will be welding a short piece of 3.5" pipe to the inlet end tank and attach it to the turbo with a 3"-3.5" transition coupler.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...icture_050.jpg
Here is the bottom, just a little more welding to do, then make new mounts for it.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...cture_0511.jpg
welded inside and out to make sure it holds up to the 50+ psi it should be running.

I was in Florida last week, but its getting closer to engine dyno time.

~John

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

looks like it was intense making that upper portion, but it turned out nice, good to see some more progress on this i was gettin antsy.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Awesome man.
I say leave the tape, maybe use a whole roll. Do something new.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I say v-band the throttle body where the tape is!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

No V-bands on the intake track for me. I finish welded and ported the inter cooler tonight. I welded the 3.5" in and outs on and finished the turbo to IC connection with a 3" to 3.5" transition coupler. I will be pulling the motor out to finish up the water to air mounts and the SMIM this week.

~John

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Keep up the good work.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

This car is awesome. I like V2.0 better.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I copper sprayed the head gasket and bolted the head down last night. And I am working on degreeing the cams. I plan to bring the motor up to work next week to work on engine dyno mounts and a bell housing.

~John

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

In for dyno numbers!!

BTW where do you work that has an engine dyno?

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Hi Tech Motorsport Inc.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Ahh I see, very nice shop you guys have there!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...cture_1143.jpg

I made a bracket to hold all 3 dial indicators in the right spot so degreeing will be a lot easier and quicker in the future.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...cture_1139.jpg

Close up at #1 TDC and both valves closed

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...cture_1136.jpg

With the Crower cam gears there is no real 0 marks and after all the decking on the block and head this is close to 0, if I run out of adjustment I would need to skip the belt 1 tooth either way on the intake and exhaust.

http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...cture_1144.jpg

As it sits right now I can retard the cams a lot, but I do not have hardly any room for advancing the cams, the intake cam is close to hitting the piston when its at 0 and I have the intake retarded 8 deg and the exhaust retarded 6 deg (crank degrees). I know how close the valves are to the piston so I will play around with the cam gears on the engine dyno and see what it likes. I am looking at making the lob seperation higher then it is on the cam card and higher then it was before to help make power up top. Before the lobe seperation was about 104 deg and with were the cams sit now that number is about 110 deg.

Here is a link to the cam card: http://www.crower.com/misc/cam_spec/...15-2&x=36&y=11

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

It's sweet to see that you're actually workin on this guy again John. One word... Shotgun ;)

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

2 words. frum roll, lol.
Keep it up I think that you might be the fastest GVR4 when you are done.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

9.510@148mph is the mark. There is 4 seats going in the car and I do plan on beating it the time first trip to the track. And for the from roll I have a liter bike with mods I need to race this spring, that should need the good gas and nitrous to take that down.

~John

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Nice. I was gonna say something about 4 seats. maybe we have to have a closed track day and have all those seats filled while running a 9?

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Looks good John. So you are going for more than 110 lobe separation? I wouldn't advise over 114 as we might have serious idle issues with those high of a cam and the 1600's. We can play with injector angle time to try to bring it into check, but I'd say keep it wide enough to give room to mess with on the dyno to make power, without having to worry about fuel washing out the exhaust.

Let me know what Thursday works best for you homeslice. This will be epic.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

You can run a 13.99 or something with passengers, so the plan would be to run with 4 people the first time down the track and see what it can do. I would like to have all the bugs worked out before the track day, at least as many as possible. As for the cams, the cam card says they should be at a 104 lob separation, that is about what they were before. I have them set to 110 right now I doubt it will need to be higher, but it can go lower if needed.
