91 Galant VR4 - 700hp+ street car goal

[FastJetta]

SO...

that finally catches the build thread up to present.

CAR been running with the auto swap for a few months fighting small issue's here and there.

Finally got it lined out enough to see how it would do at the track. (i knew it wouldn't launch well)

(stay tuned for video)


but anyways, it only did a 12.5 at 125 because it 2.6 60 foot. Car only foot brakes to about 3k which only builds about a pound of boost. .


SO im gonna but the bottle to IT

Lookin good. Cant wait to see this thing make a full hit.

Smaller turbo/twin scroll setup would do wonders with the auto and wouldnt need nitrous. Awesome setup nevertheless!

 

[ariman]

Great project.
Do you have a tc with high stall?

 

[BayState300GT]

Crazy build, props!

trust me i have been thinking about it.... i wanna go bigger turbo anyways so i would need it.

but for now the NO2 will get my by.



here is the video from the trackday... man the 60' is painfully slow but it comes on hard and strolls out, just to little to late for any kind of decent ET

Great job on the build! The car has come a long way along with your fab skills! Will definitely keep an eye out for updates!

the old nasty exhaust manifold blew out...

got it all fixed up with some thick SS, even went a little larger pipe to help flow, also recirculated my wastegate while i was in there.

new tires. YES. old ones were 24.6, these are 26.1

needless to say it fills the fender opening quite adequately

 

[2nd Gen Mnstr]

not sure if you mentioned but what kind of exhaust mani is that???

 

[airmail96]

Its a custom made piece made by him.

Will this be present at TX2K13?

 

[FastJetta]

Will this be present at TX2K13?

planning on it as long as nothing blows up before then

 

[FastJetta]

went out and did some tunning and got it running solid... then went and raced a 1000whp truck and got a got a solid win..... WHILE blowing a head gasket.


got it apart and man did i blow a gasket and torch the head in the process..

it wasn't that deep (forgot to take a before) this is cleaned out ready for welding.

Welded it back up thoroughly and re-decked it. Got a new expensive billy badass head gasket and did all the black magic tricks to all the stuff using all i have learned from the gurus to re-seal the head. I think its staying down this time.

Got a bunch of goodies im dong this week to be ready for 2k13 so its game time

 

[FastJetta]

SO long story short did a bunch of work to it thinking it was going to TX 2k13.... not so much

Put in a legit little kiggly part in the head, its expensive for what it is but its cool. It limits oil pressure to the head to 15 psi so that it keeps a lot more oil pressure in the bottom end.

Anyways... rebuild my catch can set up and did it legit.
chopped off the old ones and added -12's to the valve cover, also added baffles on the inside

all welded up ready to be closed up, lots of baffles

stuffed some green scotchbrite in there and see how it works

the old welding bead shot haha

installed with some -12 lines

the far left -10 is actually a vacuum source using the exhaust. used a venturi pipe in the exhaust with a check valve. people see anywhere from 3" to 5" of vacuum using this system and since i have no intake to pull vac its a cool option.

you can see also new turbo blanket and heat wrapped everything

Moved my trany coolers around and stacked em, tacked em, and moved the fan over behind it so it would get good cooling.

old vs new fabbed up radiator overflow tank.

heres an overview shot, you can also see i added a pegasus clamp to the throttle body to boost pipe.

so now that its looking better then ever and ready to rock... still dont know exactly why its not acting right but its looking like it might be the cam angle sensor took a crap. so gonna go enjoy houston and deal with this pile when i get back.

 

[907dsm]

I really like the catch can setup alot, can you make me one? haha

Oh yea how is that radiator setup working out for you on the street? Any over heating issues?

[GSXftw]

Just read the whole thing, great build.

 

[buddahboost]

What happened after all these years anyone know?

 

[FastJetta]

In case anyone would like to know this is how this build ended

 

[Brembo]

Wow. That is some ending. Never saw that coming.

 

[UKNOWHO]

Why did it end this way??

 

[guseclipse]

I would have preferred to not know what happened than to see that video...

 

[buddahboost]

Does that mean my Gvr4 just went up or down in value as it's even more rare now?

What was so bad it had to be scrapped?
