Here goes my attempt to list what I’ve gotten.
I am a very disorganized person and usually order things without hesitation, or I never will.
Due to this I lose track.

So here goes:
Remanned 7 bolt 4g63 head
4g64 DOHC timing belt
GSC S2 Cams
4g63t valve cover w/gaskets
SS O2 housing for 4g63t
Ecmlinkv3 slotted ECU
OEM Fuel Injector resistor for 4g63t
Underdrive crank pulley (just to see how it works)
All parts for rear brakes - rear drum to disc swap
SS 4g63t Exhaust manifold
ported 4g63t exhaust manifold
SS catback full exhaust
PTE 680CC Fuel Injectors
FuelLab “515” Adjustable EFI regulator kit
Walbro 255lph fuel pump w/hardwire kit
S90 throttle body (74mm) W/plates and gaskets
Dual Gauge cluster pod (glowshift)
4g63 knock sensor (with pigtail) (smp-ks32)
Innovate LC-2 Wideband Kit W/gauge
4g63t spark plugs and spark plug wires
4g63t TPS W/pigtail
4g63t IAC valve
4g63t cam gear timing belt cover
4g64 DOHC head gasket
Weapon-R cold air intake

I’m positive I am forgetting a bunch of things. I’ll add as I remember or get more.

I am still undecided on which turbo to use and which coolers/pipes to use.

 

[alexr254]

A ported 4g63t exhaust manifold is on order
Instead of the cheap SS manifold

 

[alexr254]

More parts;
GSC no tap lifters
set of rocker arms
Innovate LC-2 Wideband Kit

Decided to go with a 1g CAS (easier to find).
And will do the rewire it requires for a 2G.
Adjustable cam gears on order.

I think this is just about it until I start with the turbo and fmic.

Why is the dohc gears so hard to find? What cars came with that?

As far as i know only the 1994 Galant came with the 2.4 DOHC, with the cam gears with the correct timing marks.

 

[alexr254]

As info the stock cam gear part numbers that would work, but cant be found are
MD300439
MD189399

 

[alexr254]

Found this plug on EBay. For the 1g CAS on 98-99.

Since I did get a 1g CAS, I figure this is the wire to get to save me some work.

1991-1994 DSM CAS 97-99 Eclipse 4G63 Cam Angle Sensor 6 Bolt Adapter Harness | Custom

The harness is plug and play and has proper loom as you can see.

Completed today;
Fuel pump replacement
Fuel pump hardwire
MFI relay replacement (helped a ton with idle engine vibration)

Next I will start with the turbo ECU swap

 

[alexr254]

Completed wiring harness for resistor pack.
680CC injectors install will be next.

 

[alexr254]

RTM FMIC on order

Decided to bore my intake to match the S90 throttle body gasket.
So another thing to do...

 

[alexr254]

Im really going to try my best to install the FMIC while still keeping the fog lights.
Hopefully i can find a decent write up on the best way to so this, otherwise i will improvise.

 

[alexr254]

Got lucky and was able to get a pair of stock cam gears for the 4g64 DOHC.
Now I have 3 sets of cam gears…
The stock 4g63 gears
Adjustable 4g63 gears
And now the stock 4g64 dohc gears.

 

[alexr254]

MHI EVO III BIG 16G on order.

 

[alexr254]

Started to install the cams, after bleeding the no tap lifters. But had to stop because im missing a cam seal. Apparently I only had 1.
So back to waiting for delivery. An entire week for a little seal
I did finish wiring the knock sensor correctly this time with shielded wiring. Didn’t pin it in yet.
Maybe tomorrow, also the fuel relay module bypass.

Figured out the intake needs to match the head. So waiting on that now too. Not sure about the fuel rail yet. Will see.
Did bolt in the new ecmlink ECU. Didn’t need longer bolts.

Getting sick during a long weekend sucks. I didnt get nearly anything done that i planned during the time off work.
Oh well.

 

[alexr254]

Fully completed the knock sensor wiring with pin.
Completed the fuel relay module bypass.
Completed the resistor pack wiring harness, although can’t install yet, waiting on new intake manifold and fuel rail among other things.

Ordered a boost gauge.

Will start wiring the gauges next. The innovate lc-2 and the boost gauge.
Just so I can get all wiring out of the way to focus on the engine and turbo.

 

[Dericsh]

Glad you’re feeling better dude.

 

[alexr254]

Got the head off

Just wanted to add a link to my main thread here;
I do not update both that thread and this build thread. Sorry too much time.
