My VR4 sounded pretty similar to that after the engine was rebuilt and the culprit was one my of sparkplug gaps was basically non existent. I re-gapped it to 31 thou and it fixed my rumbly idle. Although I doubt you will have the same issue since you said you did your sparkplugs already.

what do you use to open those .tlg files? I tried searching online for software to open the file but couldn't find anything. I also tried searching for the TMO Logger software downloads and can't find anything

I found this on another forum a while back. It's been copied and pasted so many times now on different forums I think.Typical gearbox code: W5M33-2-NQZKLast 4 characters distinguish the gearboxes..1st letter - Final drive ratio N = 3.545 ratio W = 3.909 ratio2nd letter - gear ratios?? O...

Another Update: So last month my alternator needed replacing and I thought I would have a look at the turbo for leaks while I was at it. Couldn't find any signs of significant leakage pre turbo, I also checked if the waste gate was closed tight and it was. After reinstalling the turbo and...

I haven't experienced/noticed any stalling or stumbling when I lift. I also didn't notice a difference on boost recovery when I went VTA but that's probably just because of my laggy turbo hahaha. I will look into recirc vs VTA when I fix this lag issue.I will eventually do a proper boost leak...

Im currently still on stock AFM atm, hoping to switch to link ecu in the coming months. What problems would be caused by VTA I've current had zero problems, On stock bov VTA I had problems with idle but on my current bov no such problems occur. I know people say the car would run rich because of...

I havent been able to fix it yet due to personal stuff. But to answer your question i don't believe that would have been the problem as my bov was recirculating at the time. Furthermore, the bov has been replaced and I now vent to atmosphere and the lag issue still persists. I will attempt to...

Thanks guys,I will try those eventually but at the moment, I've got a problem with my fuel pump and I'll make an update once I fix that.

Thanks for the suggestions.I did try starting the car cold and putting my hand around the exhaust manifold and could not feel any obvious leaks. I've also got a brand new aluminium radiator so I'd think I would see some carbon build up on the radiator as this happened with my old radiator...

I recently installed a TD05 16g on my 1990 jdm vr4 and I am now experiencing abnormally bad turbo lag. On this current setup I will not see any positive pressure below 3k rpm. In 2nd gear at WOT past 3k rpm i will see about 0.1 to 0.2 bar between 3k rpm and 4k rpm. going up the rev range I will...

I'm currently interested in a second hand TD05 16g6 10.5T, it's listed for $400 AUD.Has anyone ran these newer TD05s? From my understand I need a evo 4-9 manifold as well and the turbo is the other way compared to the early evos and vr4s. Anyone know how difficult it is to do the conversion...

They are both NDC as that's what my local parts store had

Update: Got new main bearings that are the same size as what was previously installed. Going to do the bottom end tomorrow.

I am currently rebuilding a 1990 JDM galant vr4 engine. Today we were installing the main bearings and realised that the bearings that we ordered from our local auto parts store is smaller than what was previously installed(rebuilt by the previous owner). Does anyone have any experience with...

recently removed and installed an engine in my galant. Took it out with the trans still attached to the engine, installed the engine the same way it came out. It's a tight fit but you can make it work. We lifted the engine with the straps closer to the right so the engine and trans tilt making...

Thanks for that thread.Turns out universal dual gauges seem to have pretty similar dimensions to the centre part of the dash. Of course, I won't know how well it will fit until I receive it though.I found this one on ali express, there's a few other similar ones on ebay as well.

Thanks for the reply iceman. I couldn't find the factory piece you were talking about.I'm thinking of just buying a universal one with similar dimensions to what I need and modifying it.

I'm from Australia and I have recently acquired a jdm galant vr4. It is a 1990 and is in pretty rough condition. The centre part above the air vents where US galants would have the badge number has been ripped out and it looks ugly. I am thinking of putting dual gauge pods there at some point to...

Hey dude love your build, What are your wheels specs and which bc racing coilovers are you running?
