Well this is probably a dummy question but a search has come up empty. Running ECMlink v3. Car runs and idles perfect with the AC off. Now that its getting hot out, I turned the AC on and the idle jumps to a steady 2000rpm. If I sit still for awhile it will eventually go back down to 950...

Hi guys, sorry to beat a dead horse. I'm looking for basic boost and timing targets to start. I've got about 10k miles on my engine and I'm ready to start upping the performance. This is my first real hooray with a Galant. I'm currently at 12psi and 21 degrees at 7k rpm.9:1 wisco eagle...

Hi everyone, I tried searching all of the DSM forums but I don't see anyone else having this problem. I tried installing my FP 4" intake pipe today on my car. It was not even close to clearing the rad fan. What's wrong? Do I have some kind of mammoth Frankenstein fan that doesn't belong...

Doing this tomorrow on the G. Never had this problem before over the years. What kind of time am I looking at? How difficult? Hoping to get mentally prepared today before I break out the tools tomorrow. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I've been making some brackets for the Cyclone intake manifold. After a triple take look at the coil pack, I'm thinking it might be too low and interfere with the AC. Can you guys determine this from these pics? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for feedback on Eagle Crankshafts. I tried searching, but I think it brought up every thread from the beginning of time.I'm thinking that I do not want to chance using an old crank. Eagles are a little cheaper than OEM. Are they better? Worse? Please share your...

Hi everyone, I tore down my engine this weekend and found a spun rod bearing. I also noted damage to the front BS delete bearing. Has anyone seen these get damaged before? It does not have a BS in it and it was new when installed. The engine was running when I pulled it. It wasn't in good...

Hi everyone, I found a 99GSX with manual tranny and 6 bolt motor. I'm thinking about buying it to use the 6 bolt in the galant. What else can I use off of it? Can I use the 4 bolt rear end? How about the 5 lug hubs? Is the tranny and xcase the same? Thank you. Matt

Greetings, I'm in the market for a new set of pistons and I'm trying to decide on the compression ratio. I currently run 2G piston with 8.5 and really like the difference over 7.8. I notice that 9.0 seems to be offered by many piston companies. What are your experiences with 9.0 pistons on a...

Shoot me a PM if you have these for sale. Thanks!-Matt

Bought a turbo from Snailspool. It arrived so fast I think it was boosting in the box. Good experience. Thanks.-Matt

Good seller, fast shipping, tracking # provided without asking, items packaged very well. Thank you.

So my stockish engine build blew up and I'm considering the next time around going with HKS 272 cams and a better intercooler besides the EVO9. Does anyone have any documented feedback on before/after cams or IC?I'd be going from stock cams to HKS272 and from a EVO9 IC to ETS.I'll be...

Hey guys, I'm going to hit the track again this Thursday night as long as it doesn't rain. Since the last outing I increased the boost from 15 to 20 and turned on the 2-step. I'm a bit ashamed to admit this but I've never used a 2-step on a lower HP car before, only 9 and 10 second cars, so...

Hi guys, when I bought my car and started to mod it, I could not seem to find any info regarding exhausts. As a newb, it was confusing. Trying to figure out which downpipe would work, if any...1g, 2g...? Who knows. I just could not find any solid info.I finished my exhaust last night...

Well it's open test and tune tonight and this may be the last chance I get before it's 90 degrees every day for another 5 years. Should be about 50 tonight and 10% chance of rain. The G has been loving this cold weather! Gotta go to the track.Last time out was Jan 2012. I ran a 14.5@93...

Hi guys, my car sits lower in the front. The suspension is stock and possibly original. Is this how it is suppose to look (see pic below)? I'm thinking about picking up a set of rear KYB's and Eibach springs this weekend from Boostx. Do you think this is a good idea? Thank you for your...

Hello, I've learned a few lessons this past week about the GVR4 A/C idler pulley and I thought I would share them. Maybe it will help someone out in the future (those of us crazy people that still have A/C)When i bought my car last year I noticed that there was always a "ZING" noise when...

Hello I have the stock cd player and radio out of my 92 galant vr4 for sale. It is the two separate single din units (hard to tell from the pic). The radio works well, all the buttons are nice and work well. The CD player started skipping a lot before I took it out. I think it needs to be...

Broke down on the way to work this morning sitting at a light. Had the radio on so I didn't hear anything. Motor spins free with no compression. I figured the t belt snapped (as I've been sporting a shady t-belt with a big groove). I popped the cover off and was surprised to see the tbelt in...

My wife just bought a pop-up camper. I would like to tow it behind the galant when we go to the track and of course when we hit the dragon every summer. I'm looking for a GVR4 trailer hitch setup. Please let me know if you have one. Thank you.

I was able to attend the IFO in Bradenton, FL today. I ran the car a couple months ago bone stock at 15.7@86. Since then I gutted the cat and installed a MBC. Here are the two runs from today:Run1 r/t .256 60' 2.111 330 6.052 1/8 [email protected] 1000 12.187 1/4 [email protected] r/t .116 60'...

Hello everyone, I've been on for a little bit but have never actually introduced myself. My name is Matt and I have an addition problem with Mitsubishi. My addiction problem started October 10, 1996 when I purchased my first vr4...3000GT vr4 (yeah the "other" vr4's lol). I had just upgraded...

I finally got a chance to hit the track last night. I wanted to get a good baseline time in before I started modding. Here it goes:92 vr4 Sunroof Cali spec 160,000 miles Stock (The only thing that is not 100% factory is the OEM muffler fell off and there is a normal non-performance muffler...

Hey guys, I'm getting the windows tinted on Monday. This will be the first "mod" to the G. I'm debating whether or not to remove the 4WS sticker in the back window. Generally speaking I'm going to keep the car original, but I think it might look better without it. What do you guys think...

Hi Everyone, hitting the track tonight for some stock 1/4 numbers before I start modding. Car is bone stock except at one point the muffler was replaced with a standard non-performance muffler.Anyone close by, come on out and say hello! I'll post the results tonight.
