Re: Galant VR4

I would say just spend $300 on a 2.4 block, much easier and cheaper. Run higher compression pistons if you want better spool, those 280 cams aren't going to help either :P

Re: Galant VR4

Correct me if I am wrong, $300 on a 2.4 wont get me close to having a drivable engine.

right now I am planing on re-ringing the stock engine, and honing it out.

hopefully the motor can be put back together for around $300 (head gasket, ARPs, rings, bearings, misc gaskets)

I have always wanted a 2.4 and plan on getting one, but I cant see it happening for less then 1500 if i do it myself, and 2-3 grand if I have a shop do it correctly.

my plans for this twin turbo setup are simple and cheap, most of the supplies involved I already have, (wastegates, TBs, piping, exhaust) the only things I dont have are the turbo, and the pumps, and mini radiators.

Thanks for the intrist, and I will keep you all updated.
