That looks pretty good. You can see a fair amount of the engine in the Galant. It doesn't hurt that I don't have P/S or the front motor mount/power steering bracket. As soon as I get another alternator relocate bracket you'll be able to see more.

My head showed up today and I said fuck it. I'll let 'er buck on this motor and paint the Galant's original block (orange) when it gets rebuilt.

Here's what the valve cover looks like. It's not done yet. It will have black lettering

I painted some mounts and trim pieces black. Below is one of the rear timing covers

I think the orange with black accents could look good? Maybe I'm a ricer???

coolness man. cant wait to see it in person man!

Re: New Beater
 

I think it'll look pretty good!

Re: New Beater
 

So, did I read that right in the shoutbox a while ago, your 50 trim is shot huh? let me guess PTE SCM50?

Re: New Beater
 

Yep, PTE 50 trim is blown. There is probably 3 quarts of oil in my exhaust.

Re: New Beater
 

NOOOO!!!! That thing had some good history. Sorry to hear dude, especially since you got it from me :( I don't think I'll ever run a PTE thrust bearing turbo ever again. This just seems all too common nowadays. What's your plans?

Re: New Beater
 

:( sorry dude. post up the graphs you did get out of it before it blew!

Whats next then?

Re: New Beater
 

ARG. Another PTE bites the fucking dust. I myself am working out plans over winter. Dunno what I'll do. I don't wanna $$$ BB setup, but I wanna find something that will work, for more then 4 days. I drive the car now, and fear what is gonna happen to the pte again..

Re: New Beater
 

I think I put 20K hard miles on that turbo since I got it from you Brandon. :D

The plan right know is to hopefully find a used Mitsu flanged replacement turbo. Or have this one rebuilt but it doesn't sound like rebuilding has been working to well for people.

It's weird though. She took a crap very suddenly as we hit the rev limiter. Nothing but thick white smoke and tons of oil out the tailpipe.

I'll post my graph Monday

Re: New Beater
 

yea, it happens. ARG! you should get yourself a nice HTA 3582

Re: New Beater
 

I had the pte 50 rebuilt 2 1/2 years ago and is still going strong in the evo

Re: New Beater
 

Can't expect a few year old used turbo with oil fed from the wrong location and it going full blast all the time due to boost leaks to least for too long.

Re: New Beater
 

I'm suprised it lasted as long as it did.

I'm going to have to find a 14b or 16g to slap on it.

Re: New Beater
 

You don't still need a turbo for this sucker do ya?
