Fellas thinking about buying a vrg gdi gallant.mileage a bit high, the owner running super gas for about 3years ,test drove the car,no noticeable acceleration issues need some feedback as i'm getting it for a sweet price......

^ 3 years on super :shock:

Factor in 3 years of pre-detonation affect on the engine, super dye residue on the high pressure fuel pump, inline filter and carbon build up in the intake.

If the price is good, go for it.

LOL thats when you do a gaza drop
best thing to do is get a set of brand name lowering springs. Like tein or rsr or such. will be like a 1.75-2" drop max but it wont be like a stock ride but it will be Nice

if you want on tuner check 747 tech he has a set of ralliart

those are good stuff

i have a ck2, 4g15 carb, transmission changed recently and tps was adjusted also,,,evertime i stop or even when i almost come to a stop the transmission jerks into first gear,,,need some help please

the mounts good,,,everything in the engine and the transmission in proper working condition,,,changed the computer an the same problem,,,checked some electricians and transmission men,,,they scan the vehicle and everythin was reading ok including the tps but they said it could be malfunctioning,,,since my car is local they dont bring in parts for it,,,the only way i could get a tps is from someone who upgraded from carb to efi but my search was unsuccessful...

Ted_v2 · Postby **Ted_v2** » November 3rd, 2012, 10:10 am

k.c.g. · Postby **k.c.g.** » November 4th, 2012, 6:12 pm

Ted_v2 · Postby **Ted_v2** » November 4th, 2012, 6:21 pm

those carbs are troublesome IMO, engines are good, i was gonna swap the carb out for a webber 32/36 or play around with some bike carbs but mines endup overheating when the waterpump line behind the block rotted(i know 2 other people this happened to so check urs )

did a efi swap which costed 8000$ when i couldnt find a head and block

k.c.g. · Postby **k.c.g.** » November 6th, 2012, 7:13 pm

I had a leak jus recently and it was the end of the pipe goin into the thermostat case,,,it was rusted bad,,,took me forever but i got the pipe off an old engine an changed it...

My main issue is that jerk when the car downshift,,,found another guy on tuner who had the same prob,,,same ck2 but he didnt specify if it was carb or efi,,,he said that he got the internal filter in the trans cleaned and he advanced the timing...

the thing is my trans changed an same prob,,,have that same prob 2 years now,,,engine in good condition,,,no smoke from exhaust and trans was rebuilt by chag auto supplies...

wish i could find somebody who could tell me what exactly is the prob but the majority said it could be the tps

k.c.g. · Postby **k.c.g.** » November 6th, 2012, 7:15 pm

If that engine an trans have to change i cuttin my losses an sellin jus so...

rollingstock · Postby **rollingstock** » November 6th, 2012, 7:17 pm

With teh 'jerk' is there a discernible change in the idle (tach needle) if not could be a mount.

k.c.g. · Postby **k.c.g.** » November 6th, 2012, 8:08 pm

Idle remains the same,,,it happens when the car is almost at a stop and someone suggested the mounts a while ago and i checked them,,,all in good condition...

does the neutral light blink when the car is in drive? Also do you start or park in neutral?

If yes to any of the both question, a sensor may be bad or going bad. Happening to me as we speak .

Mitsumen is it possible for this engine....BPT 1.8 Turbo 10 PSI engine to beat any EVO or WRX stock engine? I saw the comment and just wanted to know how true it is?

Hey I just bought a RoRo Lancer with the In Dash Navigation System however it has limited functionality in Trinidad. Is there any way I can take out the nav system and replace it with a normal DVD player and not compromise the original look?

Anyone knows if you can use the throttle body from the galant in the Pajero iO? They both use the 4G93 engine...

Parvin · Postby **Parvin** » December 7th, 2012, 9:28 am

Had a little problem today and I'm not sure if the 'fix' is good enough.

4G92 SOHC local CK4

* Heading to work this morning (Cunupia to Piarco) everything was going well except for a faint smell of gas.
* Stopped off at St Helena junction to pick up a co worker.
* Turned on the AC from that point and the smell got a little stronger.
* From St Helena to the airport, the Temp gauge was now 5 increments from maximum (it was normal halfway before using the AC)

Spoke to a mechanic on my way home later this evening and explained the issue. The basics were covered. Radiator was full and not leaking, Both fans functioning, hoses good.

He told me the thermostat probably stick, to remove it. I came home and let it cool down and removed it.

Made a drive up to las lomas a while ago, the gas smell was gone and the temp remains normal (AC used all the way to and from). My concern is, I know there are mixed views about removing the thermostat, but so far the issue seems to be fixed. I'm wondering if to get a new one tmrw and install it and see if the problem arises again.

Any feedback ?
