    Please email me if you have anything or any leads: [email protected]
  2. Boost Leak Test (Audio) Question

    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...
  3. Please help- engine swap, won't start- RESOLVED

    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...

  6. WTB: Fuel Injectors

    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.

  8. FS: Galant Specific Car Cover- SOLD

    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...
  9. WTB: E5T01871 MAF

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

    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.
  11. SOLD- 1992 VR-4, Belize Green, #77/1000, $4000, Asheville, NC

    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...
  12. FS: G4CS block- FREE if you pick it up

    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.
  13. Starting issues

    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...
  14. SOLD-FS: 1991 Galant VR-4 in Asheville, NC- $5500 Or Best Offer- more pics added

    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)...
  15. WTB: Oil cooler water line

    I'm looking for the coolant line that runs between the thermostat housing and the oil cooler (attached to the oil filter housing). It bolts to the block in 1 or 2 places. The only reason I could see someone having one is if they went to the 1990 external oil cooler. Please let me know if you...
  16. FS: 1g big rods- $40 OBO plus shipping

    I have a set of 1g big rods for sale out of a 1989 Galant GSX. These are the same as the turbo rods. They should be in better shape than a set of turbo rods since they have seen less force. And the Galant GSX is a legit Japanese product manufactured in Japan, so in my mind these should be of...
  17. FS: Cylinder head- SOLD

    I've got a head from a 1990 Laser Turbo that would make a good core for a rebuild. It's in good shape, but needs to be overhauled. All studs intact, valves in place and I've removed the cams and lifters. I have the rockers too. $40 or best offer.
  18. FS: '89 Galant GSX Taillights- SOLD

    Let me know if you have one for sale or know someone that does.
  20. FP DSM manifold coating

    What do you guys recommend for coating the Forced Performance exhaust manifold? Swain seems like the best option, but it would be expensive, plus they don't coat the inside.Discuss...
  21. FP Green

    Has anybody installed one of these on their Galant? I'm doing it now and I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with the install.
  22. FS: Unorthadox Racing crank pulley- SOLD

    This is used, but in good shape. I'll get some photos up this weekend. It's silver. $40 or best offer plus shipping (which should be pretty low since these pulleys are small and light).
  23. FS: Stock Galant VR4 springs $20 OBO- SOLD

    I just got these from friend. Make an offer, ANY offer, but buyer pays shipping and obviously they're heavy and bulky.EMAIL ME: [email protected] if interested.
  24. Oil coiler banjo bolt question

    I want to use the banjo bolt to drain the oil cooler when I change my oil. I am going to drill & tap one of the banjo bolts for a plug or see if there is a M10(?)-1.25 banjo bolt like the one for the fuel filter pressure gage (with a hole already in it). Here's a pic to make it easier to...
  25. Intercooler size

    Do you guys think there is any benefit to having an intercooler bigger than the opening in the bumper cover, i.e. parts of the intercooler get no direct airflow?Discuss...
  26. GSX vs VR-4

    Is the rear subframe the same on the Galant GSX and the Galant VR-4? I know the differential ratios are different. And I would expect there is no rack for the 4 wheel steering on the GSX.
  27. Bumper cover repair

    This is a question for all you body experts: What is the best product to use to repair a torn/cut/hacked bumper cover? I've got a JDM bumper cover that the PO hacked nearly to death and I need to repair and paint it before it will be usable.TIA.

    I searched both here and online and didn't find much, but has anybody experienced any problems resulting from removing the power steering cooling loop?TIA.
  29. Spark plugs

    Does anybody know of a spark plug that is comparable to the NGK BPR7es plugs that has three side electrodes? Ken Inn recommended the Bosch WR7DTC plug and they were great, but are discontinued.Here's a pic.
  30. 1990 oil cooler orientation

    What's the OEM orientation of the '90 oil cooler? Any photos would be appreciated. I've searched and was unsuccessful.TIA.
  31. Gasket question

    Maybe not a technical question, but mods you can move it if you want. Who uses Permatex on the water pump gasket and who doesn't? How 'bout the front cover gasket too?TIA
  32. Wiseco Spirolox

    I've searched and couldn't find anything useful. Does anybody have any insight on how to install these in a set of Wiseco pistons? Do you need them? The literature that came with the pistons is pretty vague. I've got the wrist pins pressed in, but now I have to center them in the rod. Can I use...
  33. Engine machining & specs

    What's the spec on out-of-round for the block bores for the 4g63t? And to those of you who have built one of these engines before, what have you set the piston to wall clearance at? I'm using Wiseco stroker pistons.
  34. Stroker pistons

    For those of you who have built a 6 bolt 2.3 stroker using a 2.4 crank and 2.0 block, which pistons did you use and why? Would you recommend them? I'm sticking with the stock 85 mm bore.TIA
  35. Idle speed sucks

    I'm ready to sell this pile of crap. I've been working on trying to get the idle speed under control for weeks and have made no progress. Please only offer useful suggestions.Background:Idle surge gradually got worse about 3 months ago, so I decided to get rid of the FIAV. I removed the...
  36. Modifying a 1990 coil pack

    Anybody done this? I need the wiring diagrams of the two (1990 and 1991 on) to modify the 1990 coil pack to use on a Galant VR-4. I thought I could save some time by posting here while I search for this info.TIA
  37. Need new tires, need suggestions

    I need a new set of tires for my DAILY DRIVEN VR-4 and would like some suggestions. Primarily I'm looking for something that is relatively inexpensive and will last a while, but won't be totally horrible in the performance department.Lemme know what you guys think.
  38. ECMLink impressions

    I'd like to hear what those of you who have ECMLink think of it. Is it the greatest thing since sliced bread? Does it have any shortcomings?TIA
  39. Base timing question

    Does changing the base timing have an affect on fuel trims?TIA
  40. Crank case venting

    I've been chewing on this for a while but thought I would get some input from you guys. Here's the question: Does NOT plumbing the valve cover vent back into the intake tract affect tuning? The thing is, that blowby that escaped past the rings (when under boost) ends up in the crank case and has...
  41. Rattle can brands

    What brand of paint have you guys had good luck with? It's time to paint the trim pieces with satin black. I bought some Rustoleum which I have always thought was good stuff and it comes out in small blobs, leaving the surface looking bad. It's their new design I guess.TIA
  42. Question for Iceman (probably)

    How many of the VR-4's are currently registered?
  43. New paint

    Well after owning my VR-4 since 2001 I'm finally having it painted. I've been slowly putting Christmas and birthday money into it over the years to address maintenance and performance, but this year it will be a much needed paint job. It will probably take the guy about six weeks to finish, but...
  44. Centerforce DF question

    Where is the best place to buy a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch kit? And will the OEM throwout bearing work or is there something special to use with this clutch?TIA
  45. Oil pans

    Are the AWD and FWD 1g oil pans the same?
  46. Bumper cover repair

    For all you body work experts: What is the best product on the market to repair a tear in the bumper cover?TIA
  47. Cruise control solution

    I just thought I would share that today I took a drive on the highway and used the cruise control. Normally the engine cycles between no boost and up to ~10 pounds here in the mountains trying to maintain the speed I set it at. I decided to try switching to low boost on my Greddy Profec B, which...
  48. Flywheel dowel pins

    Anybody have any input on how I can remove these? Is it possible to do so without destroying them and reuse them? Are new ones available from the dealer?TIA
  49. Wideband bung location

    For those of you who have widebands, where have you welded the bung? I can put mine in the downpipe just in front of the firewall in the 12 o'clock position. Are there any drawbacks to this spot? The wire would run right up near where the knock sensor is.
