Hello boys and girls.
I figured id take this time to introduce you to my new toy. It's a 1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, #5/2000. This one has a couple goodies. The car is origionally from California, produced July 1990, and shipped to LA in Oct of the same year. I'm the 5th owner of the car, the second of which performed the majority of the modifications. 9second racing owned the vehicle, the owner of 9second racing actually(John somethingorother?).
This isn't my first 4G63 car, nor am I a stranger to the maint/upkeep theyre prone to requiring. I'm also a former mechanic, ASE certified, have fabbing abilities/skills/etc. Long story short, not my first rodeo. Just figured since Im a newb to the site, this would be as good a place as any to introduce myself!
So, to my knowledge, the mods list is as follows:
Rebuilt(not sure how or with what)Bottom end and head
BC 272 cams, valve springs, retainers, and keepers
Evoiii o2 and exh mani
B16g turbo(true MHI)
evo 560cc injectors
SMIM(unknown brand)
Aeromotive FPR
Hallman MBC @22psi
AEM EMS V1
Gm 5.2 map
GM IAT
FMIC and short route piping, 2.0-2.5" hot/cold
Full 3" catted exh w/flowmaster muffler
ARP headstuds
MLS headgasket
ACT 2100 clutch and racelite flywheel
Redline shockproof throughout
Unknown 17x8-9? Wheels
Cross drilled/slotted rotors
Hawk pads
Abs delete
Braided brake lines
AGX adjustables
GC coil overs
JDM evolution RS front bumper with working fogs...
And thats about all i can remember/have found so far...
I am having Jack from Jack's transmissions build me a Trans at the moment. Its their 1.2 build with the GSX first, EVO 5th, jack's spec dual syncros in second and welded center diff. Pretty excited about that, esp being as the 2nd and 3rd synchros are worn... I also plan on a bigger bolt on turbo, to the tune of FPgreen/red, or a 60 trim (a friend of mine does have a Garrett t67 HO in need of a rebuild Im trying to get him to pitch my way)....something like that. The FIC 980's and a whole bunch of other goodies I got with the car are plenty capable of supporting just about any DDable setup. Which, is what i plan on doing with it. No, im not crazy. Im Jake. I dont plan on keeping it as my DD for too long, hence the list of bigger turbos and plans, but it will be driven fairly often, and enjoyed all the same.
Enough talk, heres Johnny:
Thusfar maintenance-wise, I've replaced a leaky/bad radiator cap, P.stg pump, and Alternator (they tend to not like being leaked on.....go figgur!). It's also in need of an input shaft seal for the rear diff, which I plan to tackle whilst Im replacing the trans in the next couple weeks. I've also corner balanced the car as of last weekend as well. Makes a major difference!
There you have it! Not too shabby for $3.5k, right!? Comment on!
