I cant believe this thread is from 2005!
No longer empty and frantic...
well i could do a kieren style 50 page write up but i won't coz it didn't work , well it could given enough time (which i now have , feckin typical) but i have now sold the parts
So what was It ???
something that didn't work at the timeSo what was It ???
OK
should i tell him ? yes , no , yes , no ? i'll think about it
please tell
I think that Sport versions have the same suspension like standard galant. Only with that 17" alloys it looks better. But Iam seriously interested in your change
well i suppose i shall yield to the relenting pressure of the CVR4 nosey bleeders society , the planned mod was an fto inlet manifold , the one with the variable inlet tracts , the plan was to fit this and come up with a controller for the stepper motor , this should have the benefit of a variable power / torque curve , this being more advantageous in the higher gears . but as with all great plans something silly was to be the undoing of it , this silly thing is a pipe cast into the inlet manifold of the V6 , it connects to the diaphragm on the left side of the manifold , and of course the fto one doesn't have it , my plan was to trace it back to source and bypass it with an external pipe but funds and time got in the way , and someone offered twice what i paid for the manifold so that was the end of that , I'm sure if another comes up i will have another go
I wait for a YEAR and thats all the pap you come up with, humph!
well sooooooo sorry , what did you expect ? a mad max style super charger out of the bonnet ? not exactly cunning or subtle is it ?I wait for a YEAR and thats all the pap you come up with, humph!
A cheap and easy 200bhp would have been nice......
tell me about it , mind you that supercharger idea has got me thinking
Where the feck would it go?tell me about it , mind you that supercharger idea has got me thinking
on the engine
I would imagine with an exhaust, new intake (like on Gly's car) and a fuel controller you would be close to 200hp, and if you still wanted more you could get a custom set of cams made up
no sh!t sherlock!on the engine
well ask a stupid question and get a stupid answer
nah in reality given half a chance the heads would be skimmed and ported , and then a decent induction set up (webber alpha on trumpets ) would do for a start
Bah! I resemble that remark!
