Thanks, Iceman. Let's see if I can source a turbo and go from there.dp

Thanks for the response. Sounds good. Please keep me posted.dp

Please email me if you have anything or any leads: [email protected]

Just to be clear, the sound I'm talking about (that can hopefully be heard in the video) is a pulsating, intermittent sound, not a constant hiss.

I've finished the boost leak testing, reinstalled the rockers and resealed the valve cover. I drove the car this week. I could never figure out definitively what this noise was, but my best guess is that it was air coming through the oil return line on the turbo, bubbling up through the oil in...

I'm doing a boost leak test to rectify any leaks and I think I have been successful. But I'd like some input into what this noise is in the video:clickI have an idea, but would appreciate input. Background is this: roller rockers are removed on the intake side to (hopefully) ensure all the...

I have an intact A-pillar plastic piece, I think. Let me know if you still need one and I'll find it.

IT'S ALIVE!!It seems that there was at least one bad connection at the ECU. Likely as a result of me sticking the tip of the Fluke probes into the connector. I used a jeweler's screwdriver to press them all back where they should be and I got a spark. I put the plug back in and it fired up...

Wiring for the PTU is in good shape. Even the rubber boot is still pliable. I may try to figure out if the trigger wires at pins 2 & 6 of the PTU are getting the signal from pins 54 & 55 of the ECU like they are supposed to during cranking.Pins 21 & 22 are getting the voltage changes as they...

Thanks for the response. I've uncovered almost all of the wiring in the engine bay, so I'll go confirm the condition of the PTU wires is good. I have two '90 PTU's (both ran the Mirage engine) and two 91+ PTU's (unconfirmed to be working properly) and a 91+ PTU harness on hand. I agree the 91+...

Injector resistor pack is known to be good too. That's related to fuel, but confirmed to be true nonetheless.

Ok, guys. I've been trouble shooting for a week or two and can't figure out what I got wrong with the wiring.Background: This is a 4g61t swap into a 1990 AWD Colt Vista wagon. It's 1990 turbo ECU configuration; essentially a SOHC NA to DOHC turbo swap. There were 18 conductors out of the 52...

PM sent.

Still for sale two years later. Make an offer.

I have the rear lights that fit in the bumper. Email me.

I've got a Galant GS parts car that may have some parts you need. Email me if you're interested. And I'm in Asheville too.dp

Looking for a MAF from an EVO 8 or 9 in good shape and known to be working properly.Thanks.

Bump

Red rear side markers. $50 shipped or make an offer. Screws included.

Email sent.

I've got some tail lights and panel available from a Galant GS. If you're interested let me know and I will post a photo.

I'm looking for a set of 4 (preferably Denso) injectors for my 2.3 FP HTA Green setup. 720cc minimum, 850 is good too. This is for 93 octane only so nothing huge is required.Thanks.

Headlights: $100 OBO, plus shipping. They need to be cleaned, but are in good shape. Please email me if interested, as I am not on the board much anymore. Thanks.

I've been out of the VR-4 game for a while, but found my old car cover my wife bought me for Christmas one year and thought someone on the board might be interested. It's a bit dirty, but is in good shape with no tears. It fits perfectly on these cars, including on the side view mirrors. Asking...

Looking for a E5T01871 mass air flow meter for an N/A Galant GS 2.0 liter.Thanks.

I've got some 1g brake lines from a 1990 Laser GST. They're very clean, but I don't know if they have the bends in the right place and if they are the right length.

Yes, it's true there may be a good machine shop or two in Asheville. But the guy who is most recommended for his machining aptitude doesn't have the equipment or the desire to make the head look new when I get it back (i.e.: bead blasting, hot tanking). That's why I'm strongly considering...

What business do you guys recommend for head cleaning and machining? I may upgrade the springs, as I want to use HKS 272 cams, and I will use 3rd gen lifters, but for everything else stock specs are fine. Please post the prices for what you had done.

I remembered I installed ARP headstuds when I put the reworked head on. Also, the car has a 3" catalytic converter and, due to the Cyclone manifold, there is no EGR valve. That may have an impact on inspection in some states. Oh yeah, and the downpipe has a ding in it from a big piece of rip rap...

Thanks for the bump, Chris. Sorry, but I need to downsize so I'm not interested in any trades.Here are some more photos as requested by interested parties. I washed it tonight and for the most part it's a nice car. If it does sell, I'll miss it. My eight-year-old daughter said the same thing...

TTT.I just lowered my asking price to $4000. If I can't get $4000, I'll keep the car.

Here are some interior photos someone asked to see:

Ok, I've had some time to assess the car a bit better and I think the price was too high so I dropped it to $4800. It just needs more work than I originally thought to make it really nice. I discovered some other issues:More good: I have lots of spare parts to do almost all the work that is...

The time has come for me to scale back on projects, so my VR-4 I've had for 13 years is up for sale. I've done lots of work on it over the years and I would say it's probably 80% of the way to where I want it. I wish I had the time to address the remaining shortcomings of the car and get that...

I'm not sure how much shipping to "in a van down by the river" costs.

Okay, whoever wants this block can have it for free. Just come pick it up- 28804.

Ok, sorry for taking so long, but below are some photos:I'm really looking for local pickup to avoid the hassle of shipping. The 1st local guy let me know he is no longer interested, so let me know if you're local and want it. The water jacket is rusty, but...

Ok, just an update. I still haven't weighed the block or taken photos, but I should be able to get it done by Monday. I do have a guy interested and he can pick it up, so I won't have to deal with shipping. I will keep all of you posted.Thanks.

I was getting 11.87 volts at the black/yellow turn on lead to the solenoid with the key in the start position.Yeah, you're right; I could've taken it to a shop/store like you described. I thought you meant did I have an ammeter here at the house that I could check that kind of current flow...

Yes, it's bone stock as far as I know- standard bore for a G4CS. It has all the caps and I may have left the bearings in place to protect the journals. Keep the questions coming and I'll post info as I look into the shipping cost.

Let me look into it. I'll have to drag it down from my storage loft weigh it, and it's obviously heavy. I'll get back with you.Thanks for the inquiry.

A positive lead from the battery to the solenoid (as Iceman suggested) resulted in intermittent engagement- the starter (or at least the solenoid) is bad. Turns out I have a total of 5 starters here at Dave's junkyard: one M1T70483 (the original Galant starter, which is bad), three M1T70481's...

I have a 2.4 g4cs block for sale. It's completely stripped, I even removed the freeze plugs. In really good shape ready for hot tanking and machining for a 2.4 crank. This is only the block; no crank or bearings or anything else. I did drill two holes in the deck so it matches the 4g63t head gasket.

I just checked the voltage at the black/yellow turn on lead that goes to the starter solenoid and it was 11.87 volts. I'll replace the starter.

I'm stumped. I know starter issues are not uncommon presumably due to the age of these cars, but I haven't found anything helpful. I seem to remember Jeff O. posting something helpful, but I can't find it.Background:For quite a while now the car would not start when the key was turned. I...

What's an isolator? Not being jerky, but I figure if I don't know what you mean others may not either.

More photos and a couple more details added, 06-02-13.

Belize Green 737/2000 227,273 on chassis less than 10,000 on reworked engineWhat this car is: This car is a reliable, well sorted out weekend ride that is very fast. It has been tuned fairly well and runs ~20 psi of boost with no knock on 93 octane (could be faster with a good dyno tune)...

^^^My wife told me to put that.

Bump to your mother.
