ill try to make this as short as possible--
i recently purchased a 96 gsx which needed a new long block... my friend came across a JDM engine, so i got it for pretty cheap. after looking it over i concluded it wasn't off of a dsm (at first i thought it was off of a 1g 7 bolt dsm due to its turbo td04hl) but judging from the way the intake pipe was shaped and also the coolant necks, it looks like it may be off of a galant vr4... which leads to my actual problem:
i attached a couple of pics--
1) what should i do as far as a coolant fill/cap? the galants had one on their radiator which is why there isnt one where the dsm's have it. change the housing completely or fab one?
2) can i still use the neck which looks like it leads to the lower hose? (thermostat housing)
3) what do i do with the black coolant neck that is sprouting off the top of the turbo? on the galants (see pic) it comes up and heads towards the driver's side and disappears... im not sure where it goes--
thanx for any help!!
wow-- so apparently the "sprout" on the turbo is for its IC piping... wasnt aware that they we pointed upwards on galants--
any info on questions 1 and 2?
thanx
guess ill post this for reference
looks like i need a usdm thermostat housing (water neck/water inlet... what ever you like to call it) and a new j-pipe
solved my own prob's-- thanx!
