LIV4PSI checking in, except that's not my name here haha

I am not very active here any more , but still active in our community. I own a 1991 Galant VR4 (1501) My name is Craig Loudermilk, some of you may know me from the Facebook groups or I am LIV4PSI on the .org. Anyways...My mom was recently diagnosed lung cancer. It wasn't found until it had...

What do you planned for supporting mods? That will determine more than the turbo

All turbo engines came with oil squirters, end of story.Whether you decide to use them or not (I would) there is no reason to switch engines. You can just plug the oil galleys if you don't want to use the

The 1g transmission won't work. If you are serious, plan on buying an AWD parts car. If you can do everything yourself, $2,000 sounds reasonable to me

No, 6 bolt swapped cars don't usually run a crank sensor.OP, I would buy a used engine from a trusted source.

No love for the .org? I guess most of us are members both places anyways

I wasn't trying to subjective, I was just looking for some first hand experience. I found conflicting information, and wanted real world results.I decided to use my BoostX subframe bushings, and the Bulfab mustache bar.

I have no experience with solid bushings, so I don't have an opinion. I was just stating the information I came across and my source, for the sake of intelligent discussion.Brett, thanks for the input. I'm liv4psi over on .org, so I keep up with GSX-TC's updates. Bulfab is aware they are for a...

The explanation given was the steel is harder than aluminum. Since there is slight variation in the rear subframes, this causes "rubbing" on the OD of the bushing.Curtis is an Air Force engineer and probably the most well respected member on gvr4.org, so that is why I value his opinion. I...

I went ahead and ordered the Bulfab mustache bar and solid subframe bushings. I am not overly concerned with NVH, as my VR4 is a weekend warrior at best.But while doing research, it seems some people believe 6061 aluminum is too soft. I read the bushings will have a short life, the bolt...

Megan's and BC's should never be called a quality coilover. IMO, you would be better off with a good spring/strut combo.I would do sway bars first

No one should be talking about HP numbers anyways. Clutches are rated based on TQ numbers

10.0 is rich, not lean. Big difference

Heater hose maybe? It's hard to tell from those horrible pics

If you go with a 255lph pump, you should also upgrade the fuel pressure regulator

Thank you for the great explanation. I was speaking in simple terms. For the OP's purposes, the main function is to control boost. I understand that the way boost is controlled can affect spool.I pictured an EBay manual boost controller. That's what I get for making assumptions

It's a boost controller, and no. They increase boost, not spool

1gs never came with a 420a

He gave you the best advice so far. Researching and making your own informed decisions will always be better than taking subjective advice from strangers on the internet.The wideband install isn't straight foward. You will have to remove your down pipe and have a bung welded in. By the time...

Switch to an EVO ECU. It's better and the tuning software is freeCliff notes- Go to the junkyard and get a 3G eclipse or NA lancer ECU. Grab the MAF while your at it. Make an adapter harness, and buy a taxtric cable and an EVO knock sensor.Now you are all set to download the software and...

LIL EVO just gained a bunch of HP just by switching to a wastegate dump and 4" exhaust

Before I part anything out, I always make a list of what I plan to sell and prices. Be realistic when pricing items, and also understand it takes time to get what items are "worth" People who sell things fast is usually because they are under priced

The 6 bolt (1g) has a better crank, rods, and better flowing head. The 2g head has a better design, and is better when equally ported as a 1g.The 6 bolt will hold more power in stock form due to the rods, and a block that won't crankwalk. I would trust 450whp on a stock bottom end, but many...

I have did some research and know that I can use NA 300zx rims on a 92 GSX. I want to make sure I understand everything correctly. The centerbore part I fully understand, so no need to go there. They are 16x7.5, with a 45mm offset. The VFAQ said that spacers were required. So onto questions...

You are on a dsm site. Everyone on here is going to tell you buy the EVO. If you get on subie sites, you will hear WRX.

They will give your car more of a drop than you are looking for. My car with full Tokico setup[/IMG]

I worked at my place of employment for over 7 years and just got laid off. I work in the hospitality industry and took a promotion to help manage an indoor waterpark. Obviously with the shape the economy is in, indoor water parks aren't a must go attraction.

I believe you can use the 1.8 TB on any 4g63. That's about it though.

+2 on OEM. Just make sure you don't buy something like an unorthodox pulley, as it doesn't dampen.

Shouldn't be too hard, yet no one has did it in the almost 20 years our cars have been around. I sure no one has ever had this idea. Right...Over the years I have read dozens of threads like this were people claimed they were going to be the first. No one has ever did it. Do yourself a favor...

STAY AWAY FROM THE PUCK!!!!!Not only do you not need it, you will regret it. They are just way too grabby. Don't take anyone's advice to use a puck disk unless they have had one themselves. Not just drove one in a friends car, but actually had one in their own DD. I know it sounds like a...

I hope the same happens to you some time so you know how it feels. It is people like you who ruin the community.

I sent mine to Steve and was very pleased. He fixed quite a few issues and socketed it all for less than $200 if I remember correctly. He is very professional and easy to deal with. He even went out of his way to very thoroughly explain our ecu's to me.

Yes, but there is more. You have to not only switch one and two but three and four also. So basically you put 1 where 2 was. 2 where 1 was. 4 where 3 was. And 3 where 4 was. 4G63 engines have buddy cylinders, so two pistons are always up together and two pistons are always down together...

It says your car is a N/T. I thought it was only possible to do the AWD swap is to start with a GST spyder. *EDIT* I just remembered that spyders came with a 4G64 and not the 420a, so I will be quiet as I have no idea what I am talking about.

You will have a good time, just remember to be careful. I had my 1g AWD last year basically in a blizzard, and it did great. I work at a hotel, so we stayed open. I talked my boss into letting my give people rides to and from work while I was on the clock. I basically got payed to do doughnuts...

I finally sold my 6 bolt that I have for sale in the classifieds. Now it is time to ship it out to it's new home. I know that I am going to ship it freight on a pallett. My question is, what is the best way to secure the engine onto the pallet for transport? Thanks in advance, Craig

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the advice. I will ask them when I call to make my final payment.

Look at Ludachris' (forum founder) setup. His car is made to be an all out road racer. Find his profile and look at the parts list. Also if you had any specific questions I am sure he wouldn't mind answering them in a PM.

Just for the record, no I never installed it. It looks cheap when you see it in person. I was too scared, as I stated above, the gauge is useless, the ports are small and it is just not as high of quality as the others. Fuel support is something I don't like to mess around with. I wanted to save...

Stock 2g awd are quoted by Mitsubishi to run a 14.9. Obviously you will probably go slower as that time was with a professional driver, I would assume the spyder is heavier and an awd car should leave better.And to answer your question, you should shoot for 12's and 10's is very unrealistic...

I am a little stumped and honestly lack common sense. My car is on jack stands, everything is disconnected including the suspension and mounts and my engine is being held by my cherry picker. I am having trouble getting the passenger side tranny mount clear to remove the engine. On my 2g I just...

Your profile says you live in Ohio. We don't have emissions tests here.:D What do you mean by e check?

Thank you for clarifying for me. Now I can stop spreading misinformation :thumb:

I have one on my 6 bolt, one on my 7 bolt and a spare :p

The black top CAS is less likely to 'throw' the misfire code that is common with a 6 bolt swap. If you have dsmlink you can clear the code so it is almost irrelevent which on you use. I don't believe the black top CAS is known to cause any problems though. I believe the difference is the green...

I have it listed in the classifieds lol, ad title is 'selling all my dsm stuff, 400hp partout'

Thank you both turboglenn and blackspooln for you help. My 7 bolt does has a black top CAS so I will just plan on retaining the RRE harness.The car will have a 1g intake manifold and a 2g TB. I know this is far from ideal but do not care as I am selling the car once it's back together. I...
