Spent another afternoon mostly cleaning but also some fun bits.
Decided that even though there's deepish gouge in one half of the front case's driven gear bore surface, I still feel better about that one than the one off my other motor or the new ACL. The oiling passages of both of those for the gear surfaces are so small compared to what I figure is this oem case and pump. Pictures are above which explain what I'm on about.
Cleaned and gave the water pipe a clean and gave it a shot of high heat silver, then wrapped the area nearest the turbine housing with some heat reflective tape. Did not paint the area where it's wrapped.

Cleaned up the rust and primed battery tray. Painting tomorrow

Finally added the hoods to the prosport Evo gauges. I don't know how much it will end up helping to find daylight washout but we will see.

Removed center console to replace with the proper grey one.

Can see just what kind of colour difference

Needs a good cleaning and some crack repair. Bonus? JBweld is the exact same shade of grey.
Fills cracks nicely.
Absolutely, was a nice surprise. So I parted the crack best I could but wasn't afraid of smearing the jb into the crack and on the surface, then just wiped off the surface. Leftover residue, if any, is the same shade so cleanup is .. well, practically nothing.It's the small things isn't it? Love it.

Going to use this as an opportunity to put some thin double sided foam just to dampen plastic-plastic vibrations. Will it help? Maybe not, but I'll think it does, and that's enough for me.
Moving some trash out, I toppled one of my cams off the chest freezer and onto the floor. It might have hit concrete, or the floor mat that's in that area, but she fell 4 feet. Could be bent now. I've had these stock cams since 2008.
I have a second set from this engine but I don't know if the profile is any different from the bog standard 1g as they could have come from what I believe is the JDM Galant Evolution VR4 as is the rest of the motor. In fact, I would bet that they did considering the pistons (63DTR), intake manifold (cyclone but not labelled as such), and turbo (big 16g 49178-01420) are all a match.
Maybe I should try and find a set of 264s. I don't want to lose bottom end.
Sure but finding a set..FWIW, my old HKS 272s didn't kill bottom end torque at all with my 16G/Cyclone setup. I was still able to stall it up on the stock tight AF 1G converter. Don't have experience with any other 272 on a 16G setup though.
Sure but finding a set..
Was mentally toying with the idea of GSC S1s
This being an unexpected purchase, I'd like to not spend a grand on cams.
I have my OEM 96 cams with roughly 25k miles on them and will eventually be selling my 264s once I pull them out.Absolutely, was a nice surprise.

Shoot me a pm when you're offloading your 264s. I'm in Canada but perhaps we can do a ship-to-North-Dakota-border-service deal (Mike's parcel service) so you don't have to mess with customs.I have my OEM 96 cams with roughly 25k miles on them and will eventually be selling my 264s once I pull them out.

Will do. Looks like 1g and vr4 camshafts have the same part number. I remember back in the day hearing about people using 1g cams in a 2g for a small gain but don't know how true that is.Shoot me a pm when you're offloading your 264s.

Until then, I do have my other set of Evo GVR4 stockers that I can potentially use. I just wonder if they changed the profile.
Does that cover the Evo GVR4 that had the higher output ? I wonder if that was just the 16g or a combo of turbo and cam. Little information is available publically about that particular beastie, and some contradictory.Will do. Looks like 1g and vr4 camshafts have the same part number.

I didn't even know that was a thing. Search revealed absolutely nothing.Does that cover the Evo GVR4 that had the higher output ? I wonder if that was just the 16g or a combo of turbo and cam. Little information is available publically about that particular beastie, and some contradictory.
Ordered a few things..
- new ARP headstuds. Mine have a couple torques on them and figured if I'm already in this deep, why not use a new set
- UEGO 4110. Retiring the MTX-L. Mostly I'm doing this to validate that my WB readings are accurate
- TPP manifold blanket. Had one of these on my 1g until it literally disintegrated. Was fantastic.
- B&M 70273 to replace whatever cooler is on there now
- King XP rod bearings. Because I'm not super enthused about the ACLs I have and I want a third option ready during assembly
- new clutch pivot ball and release bearing. Already have an unused OEM but another for $40USD, I couldn't say no.
- A/T spacer plate because I lost mine somewhere in my garage and I figured if I bought another for $17, I'd find the one I had soon after. I'm not installing my extended ARP flywheel bolts without one on an ACT streetlite.
- extremepsi 4ply exhaust manifold gasket. have a used OEM 4ply but the extremepsi one is cheap and good if I accidentally bugger this one up somehow
- tb shaft seals. hedging my bets for my next BLT
Surprisingly enough, made the order before I started drinking anything.
With that, the rest of my bonus is gone. I was planning on using that money for the machine shop work when it's finally ready, but I'll just have to put myself on the corner for a few more nights to make it up.
I'll have to measure mine tomorrow and you can tell me how they stack up to OEMs. I didnt think to check before I chucked the last set I had.I’ll be waiting and ready. Usual spot?
But hopefully everything comes together soon! I kept my arp flywheel bolts just in case I need them but these ones I have are actually shorter than OEM.
