if you have an original SOHC 4G63 cylinder head gasket, you could compare the holes with the DOHC cylinder head.

you will want to use the SOHC cylinder head gasket.

search for my other posts as well.

the 94 galant 4g64 dohc heads were actually 4g63 heads.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi!
I'm going for this swap using a 4G63 SOHC turbo <Starion/JDM early Galant Turbo> block with a DOHC GVR4 head.
What pistons will I need to use?
Will the SOHC pistons fit and not have any clearance issues with the DOHC head and valves.
Thanks.

so now that i have to find a FWD pressure plate, i started looking at them online. i went to JNZ tuning, who sells one for the 6 bolt 4G63, but doesnt list whether it is for FWD or AWD. a quick email to their techline got me a response saying that the pressure plates are the same between the FWD ...

what evo are we talking about? the earlier ones (I~III) or the later ones(VIII~X)?

for the earlier ones you can refer to the 1G 4G63Ts

Bill Hincher wrote:the G54B is a wide block
so you are saying the EVO 1-3 is the same as the 4G63 narrow block?

yes Sir Bill, they are the same in terms of bolt pattern of the block and bell housing

Galant VR4s have 6-bolt cranks. Evo I~IIIs have 7-bolt cranks.

The starter housing plate is the same for the Galant VR4s and EvoI~IIIs Bill.

This was wha tI was aking before in a pm to you, if you could have a tranny adapter plate to fit the GVR4/EvoI~III small block to a wide block KM132 tranny ...

i took some pix over the weekend so you can imagine how the housing exit flange esses upward...sorry for the rust everywhere :shock:

front view of the cyl. head exit (notice the t/belt cover bolt hole adjacent to the exit... this bolt hole is where the thermo housing flange and housing back side ...

here's an interesting article on rebuilding turbos:

allan, you moved the engine forward about 1" or?
and you're using the galant 5spd?

i did not move the engine forward, but i had to reshape the firewall to make space for the CAS.

basically i mounted the transmission in its proper mounts to the body, and worked my way from there.

yes, i'm using ...

i think i'll make up my own like allan's, and see where that leads
hey allan, so your design had no issues with the pulley's?

no it didn't

i don't know if the pic below helps, but it sits approx 15mm above the bigger WP pulley, even has room to change belts

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums ...

so sorry but the l200's here in manila use the wide bellhousings...

the l200 and starion gearboxes have the bigger bellhousings

the vr4/evo blocks won't match

best bet is a rebuild or use the dohc head on the sohc block

uk's lancer register might be of help too...

cheers

gotta love a simple solution 8)

can't tell from the pics, but did you move the trans., etc. forward to give room for the cas?

oh yeah, are you saying you did not "reverse the flow" of the coolant?

trans is in original position

firewall had to be hammered

i just followed the holes in the cyl ...

i'm also using the stock housing

i think the probable problem with the jay racing unit is that it sticks straight out and doesn't have enough flange-to-pulley clearance

prolly assumed that you won't use the power steering anymore

no, mine's the stock

had a neck flanged at the outer end made

the neck slight essess upward to avoid any pulleys:

here's another view of an improved version of the neck...

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj70/allanlavarias ...

mine had no problems whatsoever

fan activates at the expected temp

gauge reads normal (almost middle of gauge)

no CEL for the coolant temp sensor

throttle body fast idle air valve functions (engine idles up) during cold starts

yup, been using this set up since 2000

the engine was NA (4G61), but very likely the same for turbo'd set ups

here are pics of my set up before the major paint job...

i wired mine like this:

pin 30 : +12V from battery

pin 85 : body ground (relay ground and fuel pump ground)

pin 86 : fuel pump wire from MPI relay

pin 87 : wire going to the fuel pump

pins 85 and 86 comprise the coil or 'magnet' inside the relay that is energized once the MPI relay gets power ...

so get a long shaft, cut it and weld the old yokes back, right?

and change the cross joints

thanks

if i were to move the engine forward, based on 4g63migghtymax's set up, this would also move the transmission forward.

what would i need to do for the propeller shaft?

which would be better of these two options:
1) cut the stock prop shaft ...

any chance anybody still have this SOHC NA thermostat housing lying around?

the ones without the caps will be fine...

thanks Bill

is your coil pack the 3-pinsocket type and the power transistor is 8-pin?

you will need a tahc interface with this.

the earlier coil packs had 4-pin sokcets and the poweer transistors had 6-pins only...these were the coils with the ...

hello!
been here quite a while, but this is my first post.

regarding the turbo, i was wondering whether the install was as simple as rotating the turbo so that the turbo inlet faced the radiator and the hot ...

so two modifications are needed to use the front coolant exit, one is to open the second rear coolant passage in the head and head gasket to reverse the flow using Burnelli's laws and push the coolant forward and the existing front coolant exits must be closed off, but not all the way, an opening ...
