Today was my first full day available to mess with the engine and prep the engine pay for accepting it. The biggest issue I ran into was with the Air Conditioning. The Japanese AC compressor is completely different from the North American one, and converting the Japanese motor to accept the USDM compressor would have been a challenge. The Japanese compressor's bolt holes for connecting the hoses are to the right of the ports, where as on the USDM compressor the bolt holes are t... Read More
My engine finally came today after weeks of juggling finances, loads of phone calls, even the engine getting lost for a week. There wasn't even too much damage to it considering the place I bought it from didn't even put it in a crate. The wastegate actuator is trashed, exhaust guard is bashed, and a couple of connectors on the japanese wiring harness are smashed but the engine itself looks beautiful. All the damage is easily fixed with all the parts I kept so that's no problem... Read More
Today when I was out working on the Talon I started hearing noises from the apartment building next to my house.

Within the week I hope to have all the fluids removed so I can start pulling the engine and transmissio... Read More
So since I'm doing some major repair on my dsm I am trying to decide where I should go next with it. It is the All Wheel Drive variant, normally with 185 hp since it is an automatic variant, however the new motor is coming out of the Galant VR4 with the 16G turbo and hopefully yellow-top injectors, meaning 210 hp if I swap in a high flow fuel pump and the Galant VR4 ECU. Now I can go two ways with it, show or performance. I'm leaning towards performance but I still want it to l... Read More
