91 Galant VR4

The interior and trunk are all painted now. The interior is satin granite, and most everything else in side will be black to offset the gray.





Here is the dash all fabricated and mounted with the gauges set in place. The dash will be painted flat black to reduce sun glare. The gauge layout is simple: behind the steering wheel is a tach/shift light, the 5" monster tach mounted to the dash with oil light attached, then the blower gauge, oil pressure, water temp, fuel pressure, and oil temp, are centered in the dash.

Dude! This thing just got a whole lot cleaner! Very sexy!

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Looks really good!

[Super Bleeder!!]

Wow. Amazing what a few coats of paint can do.

[Pushit2.0]

I think we sprayed 14 cans of paint all said and done. I have some left over for touch up paint and misc brackets and what not as we install them.

amazing!!!

Looks awesome.

I hate that steering wheel though. You will have to check my wheel out when I get back I'll be getting rid of it.

+1 on going flat black on the dash, I get a lot of glare with my gloss black dash.

What is a blower gauge? Boost I'm assuming?

This thing looks great BTW.

Blower gauges just show boost no vacuum and generally read higher than a boost gauge.

Thanks. Learn something new everyday I guess.

Yes it is just a boost gauge, no vacuum. I was tired of having to guess what the first "o" in boost was, besides a lot more then 30psi. I tried just a 0-35psi gauge which even then proved a little small, and this was with the 60 trim of doom. It would have been nice to look at the blower gauge when I drove the car on the street and see it read almost 50psi.

But yours gives all the idiots hope of seeing 100psi.

Man i want to see thing again.

[Pushit2.0]

Brent is running 86psi...

When my 1g had the 0-35psi gauge the needle would have to hit the T or S to really be at 35psi, this was compared to the 5bar map sensor and the AEM EMS. So if I do run 50+ psi I do not think the 0-60 gauge would be very accurate. Also this was the same price as the 30/40 and the 0-60psi gauge. Also if I max out the 5 bar I will know by how much by looking at the in car video feed back.

I thought we were talking about john? lol

lol, so you plan on running some insane boost?

[Kracka]

Looks great with the paint!

[C3L1CA]

Looks great John. Its fun to keep checking back and seeing the progress that you're making.

[Swifty1638]

Brent's now up to 88 psi..

I wanna see updates..a birdie told me there's an engine sitting in the bay right now, and some welds that need to be finished, that I might just drive up there and tackle!

[turbotalon1g]

^lord please don't.

There has been progress over the last 3 weeks. I had surgery on my noise, a septoplasty and something else the begging of this month. This was done to help with sleeping at night. Here is a link: http://www.facialbeauty.com/Nasal%20Septoplasty.asp

The engine is back in for final mock up of the major parts, I am to the point were I need to save up a ton of cash to finish this project. The major parts I need: Shep stage 4 or equal, twin disk clutch, slicks or drag radials and rims, rear window, hood, fuel pump, filters, regulator, 1/2 size radiator.

We bent up the front break lines and bled the system, added straps to hold the water to air IC onto the turbo and TB, painted the dash, fabricated the down pipe and WG tump tubes, finished up the aluminum rear sub frame mounts, mounted the drive shaft, weighed the car again, and revised my list of stuff to complete the car. Some day I hope to be done with this project.

And swifty you looked at the car for at least 3 hours, what did you not look at?

[turbotalon1g]

^That day will come, you have moved pretty quick.
You healthy is more important so take some time off, feel free to tell swifty to get off your nuts so u can rest.
