I would agree that the summit motor would be much more of a bolt in than the gallant 7 bolt, but they are much harder to find...I had to drill and retap the head bolts in the block to run the 12mm? head studs and block off some of the oil passages...I would also suggest eliminating the balance...

I think he is trying to do what I did in my dirt track car, I used a 2.4 4G64 from a 94-96 (i think) galant and put the DOHC from my 4G63 on it. Gives you more torque and more compression and is a cheap way to get more power. the only real problems is there is no front motor mount, but I've...

OK. I won the points championship at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in the sport compact (4cyl) and the "open" FWD (4 or 6cyl) classes !!!Now a serious question...I want some EDUCATED guesses as to what kind of horsepower my motor has (not gonna spend the money for a dyno) so I can match my...

Decided to take the exhaust cam back to only retarded 3 degrees, ran great (no lope) but got just a little popping up around 7100 rpm, wondering if it's possible to go past the limits of the stock MAF sensor? or is my mix of 50% alcohol not burning before the exhaust vlave starts to open? I...

Problem Solved, retimed the exhaust cam and the car ran great, got a bad start cause of a spin in front of me but was catching a really fast car once I got through traffic. WOW the car will hardly idle when cold, heck of a lope,One more question for the N/A guys, would an exhaust MOP of...

I think that I found my problem, I rechecked my cam timing, I thought that I had the cams pretty much at zero, but I actually had the intake retarded about 3 degrees and the exhaust advanced about 4.5 degrees. went from: overlap 36.5 LSA 114 intake 26 58 264 106 exhaust 73.5 10.5...

Actually valve springs was my thought when it was happening...but then I talked myself out of it...if it is valve springs I should be able to rev the engine to 7000 under no load and hold it there if it's valve related it should show up, if it's fuel related it probably won't

Yes, but they are only 264's, and they worked last week before I changed the injectors and rail

NEED SOME HELP, I have been trying some things to make the race car faster and have run into some issues. car = 2.4 galant block (4g64), 1g head (4g63), turbo fuel pump (rewired), stock ECU (rules). I was running turbo cams until 2 weeks ago with 275cc galant injectors, the turbo cams were...

IMCA Sport Compact Super Nationals A-Main - YouTubesomeone elses in car cam at boone supernationals, I'm the red and white 7n, long video, I screwed up on a restart (was in 5th instead of 3rd), finished 8th I think, out of 53 cars

Yeah, i've seen manifolds pulled and scopes used to look at the intake ports

Done most of this list. I am concerned about taking off the power steering even though most of the cars out there have taken it off. Just worried about if I get spun will I be able to make quick corrections at low speed...

Been a slow start to the racing season, lot of rainouts. been out once and got 2nd, can't wait til I have some free time to put in the HKS 264's that I bought over the winter.

There are two relays (silver) right by the ECU, one of them is the fuel pump relay, I'll have to check what the other one is...

Update and Question... year to date 3 wins 5 seconds 1 third 1 fourth 1 fifth and 2 DNF (got stuffed into a wall and cv joint popped the next week) now onto the question, I was at a race last week and a guy said that all of the top racers are using limited slip differentials and that's why they...

What do you need?

tinted front windows grey door panels power window motors and regulators power mirrors pop up headlight motors 91 laser tail lights and front turn signals, fog lights and marker lights used 4G63 n/t crank call or text 515-509-17 five five

probably time for an update...have been out 6 times this yaer so far: two wins, 3 seconds and a fifth. Car is handling like it's on rails in the corners and is as fast as the V6's in the straights. Even on the 3 second place finishes I was by far the fastest car out there, but if you have ever...

Went racing on Friday night on the half mile track against 4 and 6 cyl's, car ran great and handled even better...I cut all of the springs to drop the whole car about 2 inches and drilled a hole in the rear struts and changed to heavier oil and welded back shut (car was doing some serious...

The safety equipment on the car is what is expensive, car only maybe $4-500, cage another 150 (bent and welded myself with the use of my works bender), seat 100, belts 50, helmet 200, etc...you could get a car going hard for $1000 if you did all the work yourself. I really like the 4G63/4G64...

Wow...these are some of the more informative replies that I have got...I have milled the head, but only like .010, it runs about 225 psi gauge pressure (guessing around 11:1). Remember, I only run FULL THROTTLE or nothing, I don't care if it has any power in between...I also have a set of...

The way I read it, he still has a 4G63 block, I use the 4G64 block and pistons stock from a galant and get around 225 PSI on a very used engine (120,000 miles right out of wrench n'go for about $120)

I'm here, not too active, don't currently have a street car just a racecar, (dirt track)...come watch a fast laser if you are in central iowa

Been working on the racecar for a couple of months now (racing in a couple weeks), mostly body and suspension work (still need to get through the corners better). I have made 1 engine modification, I used a Galant exhaust manifold (which is tubing like a header) in place of the heavy cast iron...

Raced again this weekend, Friday and Saturday night both (man was it hot in the firesuit and helmet), Friday Night race was awesome, started 11 in the feature with a super fast car on my outside in 12th, we ended up 1st and 2nd AND I WAS 1st, who know the taurus SHO was that fast...Saturday...

Raced again last friday night, not such good results. I raced on a half mile track that I used to dominate, now they changed the class and are allowing V6's. I started 5th in the feature and got 4th....I could keep up with them but did not have enough to pass (took like 2 laps to gain 1/2 car...

did not do anything to the engine excpet change the oil, still running the 4G64 block and 4G63 DOHC head, awsome compression with stock parts :) out of a junkyard. my next upgrade will be 390cc injectors to try to run full E85 on stock ECU, If I'm right the math may work out and not even throw...

Been a slow start to the season, only one race so far but that was a WIN so I guess it's OK. Hopefully when all of the kids sporting events are done for the spring I will get to go racing alot more often. The race was on a 1/4 mile track, in about 3 inches of mud (been a real wet spring) spun...

when the car is warmed up and running, probe the two signal wires on the O2 sensor, usually black and white, it shuld read around .5V and should be moving from around .4 - .6 volts, if it is then the O2 sensor is OK....could also have a cracked exhaust manifold (like most) which is letting the...

I'm looking for some used 390cc injectors locally for a good price, need them for my N/A racecar

This sounds more like the balance shaft bearing may have seized...

if the oil pump was too "dry" when the car started then it may have never primed itself, I always crank my engine until I get oil pressure before starting it. I usually spin the oil pump with a drill before I put the timing belt on, this also makes sure that all of the engine is lubed before...

I would have to say, it depends on what tools you have available, if you can get the car up high enough and have good access under the car then it will be less work and time to just drop the transmission by 1 to 2 hours

If you find some high impedence injectors that you want to use just bypass the resistor pack (cut it out and solder all wires together)

if you want to know if it is a starter problem you can tap the starter with something while someone else has the key in the starting position and most of the time it will take off and turn, at least a couple of times (good enough to get to the garage to get it changed), done this many times in a...

I'm not sure you really have an ignition timing problem. make sure that you check all of the timing belt marks, set the crankshaft to tdc and remove the camshaft gear cover and make sure that the cams are set correctly to the crank (post if you need more instructions on it), if these are...

you can try different settings for the timing until you get the car running, it own't hurt anything if you are way off. just rotate the cas about 1/8 of an inch at a shot, somewhere in the adjustment the car will run if everything else is correct, when the car is running then set the timing...

looking at your mods you are capable of having more then enough fuel, do you have other mods that are not listed?

You mentioned head studs, if it already has ARP head studs they do not need replaced, but if you have stock head bolts I would definately get some ARP head studs

this could very possibly be an IAC (Idle Air Control) valve that is sticking open, they can be removed and cleaned with carb cleaner.

when you say you checked "compression spark and fuel" could you tell us how and what you got for a reading

I'ts been in my race car for 2 years now (oval dirt track), probably 30 shows and lots of contact...

I'm running a newer block in my race car, it's actually a 4G64 but no other difference, I just run without a front engine mount and a solid rear mount, works ok for the race car but maybe not for street, don't know

UPDATE: Ended the season with a WIN at a very big race, ran against some of the best competition in Iowa, there were some very fast Neons (stroked) and Ecotecs and Hondas, after the race another racer who owns a Mopar dealership asked me how I got my car to run so fast....I told him I couldn't...

You may want to check the actual fuel pressure, which is a PITA. Other then that a MAF failure will keep the car from starting.

UPDATE: I went to a 3 day race this weekend, dang there were a lot of preludes there. did OK the first night but didn't qualify because someone decided to use me as a bankboard to get around me in a corner. the second night I qualified by passing 5 cars in my race (I was the highest qualifier...

I haven't put a camera in my car yet, but I had a guy behind me at a track running video and he put it on youtube. you can get a good look at a DSM running hard, this was last year and my car handles much better this year with the rear sway bar onYouTube - Warren County Speedway in car FWD...

Went out racing again about a week ago, this track is a 1/4 mile long straights and tight corners, it is a FWD class so v6's run there, anyway started 14th in the A feature with all of the fast cars in the front because it was point champion night, anyway I consistantly moved up the whole race...

I remember doing a test on the voltage running to the injectors before and after changing from the 275cc to the 390cc. with the 275cc the highest voltage while reving the engine up was about 4.5V (I understand that this is really a square wave at different pulse widths, so basically my meter...

KREEZ: to physically bolt a 4G64 block into a 1G the rear motor mount is exactly the same. there will be no holes in the block or transmission for the front mount. I welded my back mount solid and left the front mount out. As for getting the head onto the block that is harder but covered...
