whayy this thread still alive..

[DW]

Thanks there ~˜VëgŲ˜~, I will call the parts place and look into the shocks you mentioned.

[xtech]

i have 100 watt bulbs in the legnum now Wagon_r an for about 12 months now an i ent see no melting......... ..........as for the shocks i tried a Gas / Oil charged brand from e-power ...... my advice about the brand is stay away lasted only one week an i had them replaced and again one week......ran the KYB gas in front an back works perfect.....

[sant74]

looking for some coil packs for the 4g93 engine (vrg) ,

[xtech]

aren't we all.......................
call 751-7248

[sant74]

anyoneknows if there is a cold air intake for the vrg 4g93 engine? or do u have to make a custom one?

[Mr. Red Sleeper]

custom is the easiest bet i think!
Cheaper than driving around looking forever for it IMO.

[~Vēġó~]

sant74,

No I would advise that you get the drop in K&N filter..........

If you were to observe the intake charge system for the galant, it is pretty efficient, with huge amts of air getting into the t/b efficiently, via generous amts of tubing (which incidently is not hampered by the heat from the engine bay!!!!!)........

what you want would mean that you need to take your piping somewhere in front of the headlamps or somewhere down below the front fender......I honestly think that it is too much worries!!!!!......have you actually played with the throttle and observed the volume of air that is sucked into the engine?......when youy block the intake, then entire piping system collapses at 1500rpm or less!!!!!!.....man I was bloody impresed!!!!!!

I tried a cone K&N on the box, once............at start up, everything was fine but once the engine got hot, everything was sheit!!!!!!!!!!...............

I wish to state again that the stock intake system for the gdi galant is very impressive and revamping of such may prove to be an expensive endeavour to achieve similar results!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Red Sleeper]

what causes pinging till you almost cut off, and then white smoke when you drive off?

[~Vēġó~]

^^^how your coolant level reading???? GDI's don't really ping.......mine cranking 208,000+ km and I have never experienced any sort of "pinging"....... it runs over 150kms daily so I think I know......... that white smoke appears to be a coolant leak........bummer

[Mr. Red Sleeper]

~˜VëgŲ˜~,
Mivec....and coolant is good

[zyrofillica]

sorry for posting an out of topic question. Been reading through this forum for close to a year. Am looking for this bodykit (a name? A seller?) Can anyone of u kind souls point me the way mon?

[~Vēġó~]

^^^I don't know meh boy.........you're from singapore right? If so, is there no one who could fabricate it?

[MonsterPower]

duuuuude my gdi engine is kaput again due to poor gas

but my mechanic said if i can get a gdi turbo engine from the gsr lancer or galant from singapore its a godsent... only problem is that its rare ..

anyone eva seen it or heard about it ..

i also heard from this mechanic who is a mitsu specialist that alot of gdi owners are having probs with the fuel regulator

[Sanctifier]

duuuuude my gdi engine is kaput again due to poor gas
i also heard ...that alot of gdi owners are having probs with the fuel regulator

Bad gas caused more than one GDI failure? Could be... but very hard to believe. Something else is wrong IMHO.

^ ^ ^ When I was told that a new pump was $12k; I cleaned the high pressure fuel regulator/pump on the engine block myself. It has worked like a charm ever since (18 months +) AFAIK my post described it in some detail. Doing a search might help.

BTW be careful when removing the plastic/Bakelite (synthetic resin) plate seperating the pump sections. Use a feeler-blade to begin to seperate it from the pump-body... then knife blade (carefully lifting diagonal corners in turn) to remove it. If it breaks...

I used Power Foam to soak the fuel nozzles, carrier etc. overnight...
Clean everything with Rubbing Alcohol. Try to remove all varnish stains.
Leave metal parts in clean alcohol until re-assembly. It gets tarnished (rusty) very quickly.

Finally, replace fuel filter before starting engine.

My $0.02¢

Edit: Double post... No delete option.

[W2J]

GDI does not react to well to out high sulphur content in our Gasoline. The pump has a inline filter on the high pressure side of the line that clogs causing the pump to burn. Remember these pump put out more that 100psi.

[MonsterPower]

so is there anything that can be done ...


or any engine that u can recommend to replace it

[xtech]

2.0 6a12 V6 mivec........ 2.4 SOHC or DOHC V6......... 2.5 6a13 V6 twin turbos.........better than going back to the GDI technology turbo or none turbo............GDI runs great when is working well with huge mileage on a tank but it just to demanding an a pain to keep the injectors clean with our type of gas

[MonsterPower]

so mitsugdi what do u recommend?

[hondamatic]

i know someone who knows how to treat those noisy lifters....I dunno what he does , but my uncle's shark mouth Galant was real noisy and now its silent as a lamb...his name is hafeez 744-2718

[hondamatic]

that can be your plugs , check them and make sure they in good shape..

[xtech]

aye he put engine restorer to make them silent i try it on mine an it went completely dead right after puting the can of stuff in..................

[hondamatic]

nah itsnot engine restorer....i know that for sure

[xtech]

but this i know works permanently an completely none invasive........

[Halfbreed07]

sry if dis question was already addressed but who can reccomend a guy to clean my injectors. meaning remove clean ans replace. reason being, i smell a lot of un burnt gas wen i start up in the morning, the mileage to gas ratio is very poor, and my acceleration is also poor.
i still get a good top end though
is for a 1.8 gdi gallant
thanks

[Rah]

Xtech where can i get the engine Restore? Willing to give it a try.

[Halfbreed07]

its a very long read so sry if dis was already discussed.......

any of you guys ever used iridium plugs in ur 1.8 vrg's?
did u get any positive results?
is it even advisable to switch from the standard plugs?

[~Vēġó~]

^^I've never tried iridiums.......mainly because I don't know the comparable model to the stock ones........

and have you changed your fuel filter? I have never cleaned injectors in the 150,000+km that I've had mine and it still runs well.....usually throw in some redline at every fill though.......
