Re: 91 Galant VR4

I took last year off and spent time with my baby girl Liana.

And over this winter we made some major changes to the car. Some have worked, others not so much.

The short list: -12 fuel feed line from tank to rail, then -10 from rail to regulator. I also installed a KB boost a pump.

The turbo was replaced also, it's now a Borg Warner Billet 76 with the 83mm turbine and a 1.00 divided t4. Non ball bearing but spools the same has my Garrett gt4202 did.

I now have 2 fully built trans with fresh synchros. And we adjusted the clutch for max release.

I also updated safety stuff. A parachute with integrated licsense plate mount for street driving.

I 're fabricated some stuff under the hood, the catch can with drain back into the block works perfect.

The short block is the same, but larger .051 safety wire sticking .010-.012 out and a fresh felpro permatorque gasket .

I welded the head up, and a new valve seat was installed. A new set of exhaust valves, a good valve job and the port work was redone.

The Car is using a EBC now and will have an E85 tune and a E98 tune.

I installed a push button on my parking brake lever for my 2 step.

I also fabed some more stuff trying to get the weight down more. I will post pics and more details after this weekend.

We tried the chassis dyno and had good luck at lower boost but had traction or clutch issues at high boost. So we will finish the tune at the track and the streets of Mexico.
