I spun a rod bearing in my 1992 Galant VR-4 a while ago, and after staring at it sitting in the driveway all summer, its about time to put it back together.
Nothing crazy, in fact, if you ask MAP, less than 650 whp isn't worth building! This is primarily my DD, but I've seen some local rally cross videos, and that looks like a blast, so any extras that go into this build will be to the effect of making it more fun to play in the dirt.
I don't know anything about DSM's, so feel free to tell me I'm doing it wrong as this thread progresses. And even better, give me some tips before I waste my money!
Plans so far:
machined block by John Gosh
Stock head with revised lifters from John Gosh
DSM Graveyard Frankenstein rotating assembly with EVO 9 pistons to up the compression a bit. On order
ARP Head studs and MLS gasket
Jacks economy transmission rebuild. On order.
Current eBay big 16g
Existing ACT 2600 clutch
Current 3" exhaust from turbo back
Wanted to buy: DSMLink v3 lite
Here are my toys.
And here's what killed the Galant.
