Hi guys, it's my first post here!
I saw a post in this forum talking about making a 4g63 SOHC turbo, but the whole discussion was about if 4g63 SOHC actually exists or not. Yes it exists, my car is a Galant GLSi E33A if I'm not wrong, and it came with a 4g63 SOHC 8v
I know that in 99% of the cases, swapping to a DOHC or 4g63T would be way more worth it and straight forward, but I live in Spain, more precisely, an island in Spain, and we have no 4g63t, occasionally a random 4g63 DOHC appears, but in Spain, passing inspection with a swapped engine is a nightmare, I would need to buy a whole car to do the swap to justify where the engine came from. Meanwhile if I turbo mine, I just need to prove that everything was done correctly and pass one test.
I did a fuel mix test and a compression test, engine is running perfectly and is super healthy. It has 160k km and I wanna how to start putting a turbo in it, does someone know if there is any brand that sells custom manifolds for the turbo? Can I use a 4g63 DOHC manifold? (My logic says no) Or a 4g64 SOHC manifold?
I'm trying to make 140hp, already makes 109.
Thank you guys!
