Messaged ETS again this afternoon, zero piping available unfortunately.THOM did your son keep his AC?

I messaged ETS on their site Monday and they said only intercooler available. I guess I didn't ask if they would make the piping kit at all but took that to mean NLA besides cooler.

Beating A Dead Horse... I know, I searched.But I was hoping to get some kind of info from someone that has used the 2g vrsf first hand or attempted and what was the issue. Or if there is a suggestion of an off the shelf kit that's been found to work well keeping AC and stock radiator, since...

Been forever and ever since I've posted on here but I do still check in from time to time. Regardless,I'm finally back to wrenching on my galant and I have found assembling my motor that my crank pulley looks terrible, a bunch of rubber is pulling and flaking out plus it is nicked up etc. I...

Well I am back at it again, trying to get my galant together before anymore snow flies in MT and try to dd her thru the winter...So in order to stop being JSB for another consecutive season Im putting most of the suspension back together and have decided to simplify and delete the 4ws and just...

I have the opportunity to pick up a set of Enkei RPF's for a steal in this size and wanted to hear from some of you first hand if these would work out. I plan to have a relatively low stance on my gvr4. Any insight is appreciated or if they will rub what I might be able to do to get them to...

Well I assembled my bottom end last night and did the notch for the top ring up and bottom ring down. The bottom ring did have an 'N4'on what I put as the top so hopefully that's how its all suppose to go... I couldn't access/find the overhaul manual on lilevo's site on my BB and that's what...

Theses are OEM rings and last night I didn't notice any indicators of what side goes up when I was looking over them. Maybe I missed something??

Which way do the piston rings need to be on the piston? The inner edge I believe has a "beveled" if you want to call it that look and just wondering if the straight cut or rounded edge goes on top??TIA -Alan

Thanks guys for all the response. Yes the black areas on the last piston is just some carbon build up.I think I am just going to stick w going w these if a buddy can show me how to de-burr them since the internet isn't friendly to my searches (or I don't know what to search correctly)I...

Thanks guys for all the info and suggestions.I think I'm going to stick it out w these pistons since I'm not going for a hp monster just a fun DD and little weekend warrior status.My next question is does anyone have a nice write-up or how-to on deburring or reconditioning pistons like...

Well it's not really in my budget for new pistons but as any true american, car enthusiast should say "I can throw it on one of the cards" I just don't want to if I don't have to...So de-burring would be like taking a grinder or sander to them and smoothing them down?Would I see any real hp...

Starting to get to the reassembly of my motor now that its back from being machined and I am a little hesitant to use these. Would like some second opinions because my machinist said nothing about them and the other people I've asked haven't worked on 4g63s or anthing remotely close, they just...

Well after close to a year w the motor out of the Galant Ive finally come back to this project and have some fund to get it ready for winter duties...Im staying w the stock pistons and rods, crank all that. Doing some new oem rings, ARP hardware everywhere and ACL bearings. New Ferrea valve...

No one? Come on someone's got to have put these bushings on.I guess Im w JSchleim and think they're for the trailing arm. If I ever get time this week to work on it a little more I will keep this updated, wrench time will be Sunday at the latest I hope...

Well its starting to get time for me to put the galant back together for some winter DD action.I have these Noltec bushing w the description R. Stub. Axl-Chas. Now I have a good idea these go in place at the end of what I would call the trailing arm, but Ive been wrong once before and was...

When I purchased 1632 the previous owner was nice enough and smart enough to give me all the stock parts he had that were no longer on the car. Well in this tote of misc junk and treasure I came across some packages of Noltec bushings that I would love to get onto the car while its still JSB...

Bought 1632 when I was 19, now 21... Been jackstand ballin' after first 3 months lol

Okay Im looking into a machine shop. Hopefully I dont get raped on price living in Po-Dunk Montucky. Whats an est cost I should have to pay given theres nothing wrong with the head?On another note do I NEED the hyd tensioner tool when doing the Tbelt if I have a new tensioner to go on? I am...

Ok so I already know I am in over my head... With that out of the way here are some questions and scenarios.I need to replace my valve seals as quickly and on the cheap as possible. How do I do this?THE SITUATION: I pulled the motor out of my galant a few weeks ago to attack many problems...

Hawtness!! Mesh looks good.... but I wouldn't make it a habit parking next to the cart return rack lol.

Yeah I'm looking into a business that might be able to do a group deal or even one at a time. I'll let everyone know for sure. Could work out awesome I'm not looking to make moneyz.-Alan

While I have my intake mani off is there anything I can do to it to make it perform better? Can I port it out? Maybe someone has a link they could show me on a 'how to' do this...TIA -Al

Well I decided to pull the trigger on a pair of HKS 264s used from jb4 (Jamie). Unfortunately these are about the last parts the Galant is going to see until I give some much needed attention (i.e. money) to other side projects, so I wont see the full potential of the cams w a tune and fuel...

I knew my long post would kill this threadKeep the info coming guys, need to make a decision sometime this week before this money falls out the whole its burning right now.

Awesome response guys, loving all the info and opinions even though some of its getting over my head, lol. But shared knowledge is priceless.Getting back to what RAUCSH and Dialcaliper were saying on the FP1s having steeper ramp design and more duration with this lobe design, what I pretty...

""FPCam1 Compatible with stock springs. Similar to HKS 264 camshaft, but with a little more lobe on it. This camshaft results in very good idle characteristics and is very useful with turbochargers up to 650cfm."" -from clickIm going to try and email them and see what kind of response I get...

The thing is I wont want to upgrade for years, I'd rather have a clean, nice reliable (knock on wood) GVR4 that I can drive sporty if I want. Making an all out mean Galant is out of my taste a little, if I wamt something just balls to the wall I'll finish the AWD Colt build I want to undertake...

The only problem I have w the 264/272 combo or 272/272 is I want to stay in the power range of my e3 16g. My understanding is 272 start making power up top and sacrafice lower end torque, even though its very little torgue if you use the 264 combo I still dont want all my power to be above when...

Yeah I plan on staying in the stock RPMs range, just going for as many supporting mods on my turbo w/ Keydivers help and a little freshening of the block.Does anyone have experience comparing the difference between the HKS 264s and FP FP1s?Are the HKS worth the extra money or are the FP1s...

Having trouble deciding what cams to go with while I have 1632's motor out...I've been looking hard at the Brian Cower 272s BUT I want whats best for my e3 16g and I have the impression 272s are starting to get towards too much top end power. I'd like to have as much low end/fast spooling...

Subscribed, --I hope we can keep this thread going, Im going to be pulling my motah this weekend to do the Tbelt goodness and ARPs and MLS while Im at it... Would love to decide if Im going to coat or not to coat. -Alan

I know I know, This subject has been beaten time and time again.... BUTI've been doing more and more searching and just getting more and more confused. Will someone please give me either a link or describe to me what I need to get this done. Palm seems the way to go via cheapness or...

TCS126/C are the ones I bought for my Galant. Work good so far, Im using them with a PWR "civic" style radiator. Bought from sporthoses.com but they took forever to get to me FYI. Just under a hundred dollars I believe.-Alan

I want to know how you figure out a shopping list to do an AN fitting setup for your radiator (Along with the rest of the engine bay ). Like is there an adapter for the radiator where normal hoses clamp on or is there some fab work at hand?

I used a set of samcos listed for an evo 1-3 I believe. Less than a hundred dollars US whatever the ratio is there.Just my .02

Sounds awesome mayne, we still need to meet up sometime. Maybe when my galant isnt on her normal perch on jackstands. lol

Any takers, just looking for general info.-Alan

I recentley acquired a Greddy Profec E-01 Boost controller for free for wrenching on a friend's ebo for him. It may or may not be missing some pieces but it seems to be all there when I took a quick glance.Im interested if anyone has used these with our G rides or had direct user knowledge...

Nice Work, -Alan

^ Nice, at least I get to see a few more pictures of that interesting Galant.Im with H05TYL in rim choice and what I would like to accomplish, he hits it spot on. But the thing that comes into play is if Im going to be able to work something out to have low offset work. I dont really want to...

Keep us posted manNot a fan of the 2.3 but I will still droll when this things put together. -Alan

Well I dont mean safety as in for my life but safe as in not causing more harm to my cars bushing and bearings then necessary.I understand a little more with the fact that the more postive camber you run the more the rim sticks our from the centerline or whatever so its going to be harder to...

So +35 is the lowest offset we can run safely on our galants? If I was to go with a 17x8in rim?What does adding a 1/4'' backspacer to the rears achieve?

Quoting mitsuturbo: and i'm pretty sure that's a seattle car. i believe i've seen it around.Ya that pic was from the Seattle Honda-tech meet that happened just last weekend, some buddies of mine ran out there to nab up some parts.I dont want to run any tires too stretched because this...

^ Ya thats the same link I posted earlier that I've been refering to as well.I want a really aggressive look with the offset though, close to the look drift cars achieve. I know some might not care for this but Im just figuring what might work and look good. I love the FN01R-C's with a really...

Quoting mean_green: To his their own...I've been looking into buying new rims for the G ride. Now seeing is this is the best place to get info on them bar-none I was hoping some of you guys would help me out.I want to a really aggressive rim on my Galant once I get around to affording...
