My galant went back to 14B turbo today, I should hopefully be finished up tonight. The car has been smoking for a couple weeks now, real bad on boost, and the turbo has some significant up/down shaft play. Sucks, the only turbo I have on hand is the 14b I bought to use on the yellow 1g, but I really need the car for transportation.
But I guess I can use this as an opportunity to learn a little more in prep for running a dinky turbo on the racecar this summer, collect some datalogs, and try out a few things. I guess I'm going to run at Island on Apr 23rd, next friday for a GalantVR4 meet...see if I can beat the 12.3 14b/galant record:icon_question: Should be interesting to see what the air temp and boost curve looks like.
Just need to finish up the basic re-assembly tonight, shorten the lower ic pipe to fit, and re-do the vac lines to the boost controller. I used a 6cm turbine housing with just a little bit of portwork on the inlet. (metal was SUPER hard, nearly impossible to port). Shimmed the actuator for a little preload. Basic ported 1g o2 housing I had laying around. My feelings are this is only temporary until I can find a good used 16G to swap in..then 14b can go on the talon.
