Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Here are the pics of the full respray, car was mostly flat AFTER 28 years, little here and there some dent etc.

colour is original ,Sarajevo Weis W18, but in clear coat it was added a bit of a crystal gold pearl, without sun or light you cant see it, it turned out very very good, and I was very satisfied with that.

preparing the car for painting



Preimer:



Ready for paint





Colour:



Painted :D





And some better pics after it got home :)









Some closer view

Nice job!
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Slowly coming back together

a lot of time and effort goes for polishing


But first, PAINT protection , sealant and wax from soft99 fusso






Also cavity wax for doors and under the car




More cinced parts (some of)



polished edge on the tail light







Got a brand new HELLA rear plate lights with chrome look



little before after





And a rear end DONE!

 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Love the way You pay attention to the details. :peukku So that's why You have to repaint the jack too 8)
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Little update, trunk is completed, also an interior and the doors, every little thing was polished, galvanized bolts etc, it takes a lot of time for that (for doors I have spend 2weeks of every day work)








Side skirts are ON :D



Interior COMPLETE






Front light renewd , galvanised bolts etc.

 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Got some time to finish my custom made mud flaps, base design was for an EVO6





And FRONT end finished, it looks so clean now, better than new :D

here is the pic i like the most :D












And one with all lights ON

 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Wow, you have really done some unbelievable work on the car! Good job :palvo
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Time for new exhaust full 70mm exhaust, with electric cutout on the rear muffler ( for quieter and louder mode), and polished 80mm exit





So here is my design

two pipes through the rear muffler (bigger one(70mm on the electric cutout side, without holes on it), and smaller one (60mm, where gasses are going when cutout is closed(with holes in it, so the muffler can absorb sounds)
remember , the angle of those two pipes is very important, the bigger angle you got, the louder car will be when the cutout is opened











Next thing to do is to port a turbo housing, this needs to be done to prevent boost creep, here it is how it looks before and after around wastegate











Later i had problems with a hot air when boosting. As the car still isnt mapped, and its in brake in proceduree hot air is allready a problem, so it would be big problem during the mapping

So i got almost a brand new intercooler from EVO10



And one video how electric cutout work(sounds)
this is without middle muffler, so basically when electric cutout is opened it simulates straight pipe

I'm also having a boost creep problem with my Evo 3. How much porting did you do to solve the problem?

I heard the stock one is around 22mm diameter, and the flapper is 28mm or so.
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

hy

the problem is here because you have upgrade your exhaust and probably your intake pipes and cooler.

during the mapping, boost creep is still visible(but not that much) but for completelly elimination I have used electronic boost controller

problem is the position of the wastegate. it is placed 90degrees on the air flow which is bad, so you need to smooth the edges as far as you think you can
the hole on the wastegate is 28mm, flapper is I think 32 or 34mm, cant remember now, mine is from EVO2 but should be the same on yours

so the best solution for this is to go on external wastegate, in that way you will get the best boost controll, but i want everything look stock
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Yep, I thought that 65mm downpipe with race cat wouldn't be too big, but I was wrong ;D
How far was your setup creeping before and after porting?

External wastegate would be ideal for any turbo setup, but I don't really want to modify my car that much at this point.
I love the response, torque and spool that the bigger exhaust gives, so wouldn't want to go smaller either.
Maybe support mods and E85 for fuel to fight knocking? ;D
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

well i cant answer on that question because i knew what is happening if you dont port your turbo. so i have ported it before mapping


well with external wastegate you wont loose spool or torque, instead you will get better spool (it will spool sooner for lets say 50-100rpm) you wont notice that, but on paper it will be better
because stock wastegate isnt shut 100%, because of the age the surfaces arent flat anymore
+ you will get great boost controll when boost hits


however i recommend you to upgrade to electronic boost controller in that way you almost wont have boost creep, with ecm link offcourse

Intercooler fits perfectlly

it is 3times bigger than the old one





oil cooler was also relocatted

here how the intercooler looks after redoing the pipes, also a SPAL fan was added for better cooling





Electronic boost controller is installed also




and i got a throttle body from an evo8, much better and faster TPS and ISC sensors

 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Next, i had to make adapter for ISC to the Eclipse/ early EVO installation

also i had boost leaks on throttle body, and on the outlet of a turbo, so a new flange has been made



Rebuild kit for throtle body








Next i got very lucky and found a brand new middle blend for redesign version complete with instructions and install hardware



also i got a brand new right tail lamp





to me looks much better with it :)

 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

another CRASH, fortunately a very light one, Opel didnt pass well haha





All repaired now :)





one with mine second Sapporo with ECS (Electronic controlled suspension)



nice turnup one evening



and meeting with a friend of mine (normal vs RalliArt)





next thing i got is pieces for suspension upgrade

much larger holder bracket for front subframe



and poly bushings for front end

 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Like I said on Facebook - liking this one! :)
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Seems to me, that the torque is at quite high RPM and it's a bit down on power.
Of course I'm comparing that to Evos, but can there be as much mechanical difference?

For example, an Evo 3 from the club had highest torque at 3600rpm (430 Nm) on 1 bar boost and after that it slowly tapered down to 300 Nm at redline.

Could the porting affect spool somehow, or is there something else?
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Yep, its a huge mechanical difference between 6bolt and 7bolt, for stock engines of course


6bolt angine has 7.8compression ratio
Evo1-2 8.5compression ratio
Evo3 9.0compression ratio

Thats a huge difference, especially for nowdays fuel
Iam running on 1.3bar

Porting is made because of a boost creep, spool cant be much better, with the same turbo

Do you have a boost graph? Or when does it build the desired boost pressure?

Seems to me that you have something wrong with the setup. Don't take this personally, I love your build. Just trying to help :)
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

I have electronic boost controll, so iam limitating it doesnt hit hard(less stress for engine)

Setup is set this way

Till 2250rpm 0.5bar
2250-2750 0.7bar
2750-3250 1.1bar
3250- 1.3bar

But in real iam seeing 1.3bar on around 3900rpm

Its evo2turbo

What do you think its wrong?
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Lets post a few updates

next thing for deal with was suspension and handling


Suspension was original, but all springs are worn out and old, rear shocks were leaking, and also the car was too soft to handle that kind of power so i upgrade it to much better level

Ive bought Cusco street ZERO coilovers for Lancer EVO III

car handles much much better in corners, over the holes its almost like stock suspension, over the speed bumps you have to be little gentle , overall very good coilover



Also got the powerflex camber bolts as the car sits little lower now



Got new oem bumper indicator lens



Then the next problem was grip, i had only 2 and a half years old tyres but they didnt have grip at all

So i bought new tyres Continental Contisportcontact 5 215/45/17, also as I will upgrade the brakes i need new wheels that are the same dimensions (17" , 7J , ET40) but with flatter spokes
that means more space for bigger brake calipers, luckily i found Superleggeras which are 4kg lighter than previous wheels EACH! and also they have 1,5cm more space for brake calipers



Cleaned up the wheels, waxed them, got new central rings 67,1mm and new lug nuts



And ready to fit on a car



Results are awesome, lighter steering wheel (as each wheel is lighter for 4kg), and much more grip, which allows me to run full boost in second gear afer 5000rpm




Also getting the parts for next work

new tie rods, new tie rod ends, new boots, new front bearings, new CV joints

 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Good job! :) wheels look great!
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Next update, got the brakes, 4pot brembos with braided steel lines and 320mm discs



redrilled discs to 4x114,3 and test fit, it fills up the 17" nicely



got new front bearing in, and also polyurethane on arms





Custom made heavier springs for trunk opening, as the factory didnt design it for trunk spoiler, now the trunk hood sits up alone :)



Another gearbox from 2.4 Galant is in with lower miles on it

also installed new OEM shaft seals



new clutch disk material



also new braided steel line for the slave clutch cylinder, you can see how worn out is the old one



and new slave clutch cylinder

 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

i love the way you build your car. That is awesome!!

what front hubs you have, will they fit straight to brembos or are you going to do some adapters?
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

As you can see on the pictures they allready have adapters :)

Hubs are the same as eclipse/evo123/fto only bolt pattern is different 5x114(eclipse,fto)
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Can't wait to see the finished install. :)
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Disassembled front subframe



Some new parts



Took out the bushings front front subframe, they were in really bad condition, as you can see on the picture, new oem ones are ready to pop in



also new stoppers





New gasket for fuel sender unit



New grommet for hood pin



Then i have to install new seals in the steering rack, and also new rod ties, rod tie ends and new boots






New boot for steering rack




Dont have picture when shafts were finished, but painted them to OEM colour



Painted brackets for front subframe



Installed and painted slave clutch cylinder



Custom made full rubber front engine mount



Polyurethane SuperPro bush on sway bar



Finally made an adapter for EVO ISC to DSM wire installation

Noissa coileissa on niin paljon säätövaraa että onnistuu kyllä. Kuhan sais omaan bc:t alle joku päivä ;D
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Assembled complete front subframe, car really drives fantastic now, no sounds at all, and brakes, AWESOME, it has the stopping power now

also to make it a little softer i have made custom springs, front 5,6kg/mm and rears 3,5kg/mm



Calipers refurbed, new, bolts, paint and stickers, little before/after









It fitted very nice :D



New blood



At the geometry service






And got the fluidampr crank pulley & ARP bolts

 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

fluidampr is a gooood choise! Made a big difference in my car even on idle. Smoothens everything up.
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

yep, very good product

mine old pulley wasnt good anymore, the internal rubber fall off. and when i put the fluidampr, allmost all vibrations i had were gone.

also usually it is 320gbp at ross sport, and i catched very good deal of a 230gbp :)))

Few more updates

new rear steel brake feed lines



installed fluidampr crank pulley, and also new Gates, alternator and power steering belt



looks good underneath now :)



Got brand new OEM front grille





Adjustable rear dampers came in, Cusco, newer dampers, and also they are longer for 1cm, which means a little more street friendly



Comparasion to a non adjustable CUSCO



and one nice pic from the petrol station

Are there any parts that wouldn't be changed/thoroughly refurbished left in the car? :P
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Thats a good question.

I think the only part of a car that need more attention is the engine bay. Its first colour and white. You even cant wash it now properly. So a new paint would be needed , but i dont have in plan in any soon future to put out the engine and all other accessories just to paint the engine bay.

Also looking for the left NEW tail light. As mine has damage :)

There would be much more longer list if you are fussy as fuck, but keep in mind this is a very old and very rare, and the most important thing very unpopular car, so parts are very hard to find, but so far Iam incredibly very good at finding ones :D
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Little update, havent been working on a car. I was driving it for a change, done over 3000km over the last 3months

In front of Pula Arena



then i was on a oldtimer meeting, with my dad(green 4gen Galant), and a good friend of mine with his RalliArt version also in white. That was a pretty cool sight









And some better photos of mine car :)











 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Really nice indeed! :)
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Couple more updates

Crankpreassure was next thing to deal with, no more oil dip stick popping out and inlet on turbo is now dry :)

so I have made a custom valve cover, drilled a much larger hole, and weld bigger fitting, removed PCV valve and also put a bigger one, but left the thread in case i will want to return PCV :)

after that, professional coat was apllied




difference between holes



New oil Catch can and silicone hose





Then few shots from the sea and driving :)











Then got new silicone clear hose for washerfluid line, so I have replaced an old ugly one :)






Thats all for now :)
 
Vs: Mitsubishi Galant 1987 E15 2.0Turbo RalliArt

Next thing to deal with was the power windows switch.

First they started to fail on the main one (passanger window couldnt go up) and also letters worn out after years of using

First i have disassembled everything, cleaned up the contacts, and it all woreked again like a charm










Then i found a ultra rare JDM main power window switch that has Door Lock option on it and AUTO funstion for drivers window.
It was in Malaysia, and it is very very hard to communicate with them and in the end to get parts from

So i accepted a challenge of making a UNIQUE, only in the world, LHD main switch with AUTO power windows on drivers doors, and Door lock option



And finally received it after 2months




Next big problem was it was all for RHD (you cant put AUTO function on the left side) and also you need to use LHD plastic surround to fit properly
However plastic surround didnt have DOOR LOCKS sign


after days of researching, find up it wasnt a sticker on the buttons and plastic surround. It was printed with high quality colour that remains under usage of fingers
luckily i found one guy who was able to do this for me, so i have also refurbed buttons and plastic surround, also all other buttons on passanger doors




next thing about AUTO function. Mitsubishi Galant Sigma in USA had AUTO function on driver window as a LHD. luckily found one with broken plastic and cutted wires, but again seller didnt want to ship, so I had to find agents etc.
after 2more months finally item arrived






next problem was it didnt have DOOR LOCK, so i had to cut the JDM one and weld it with USA one





Next. all was working except AUTO function for driver window when it go UP.
Thing is, in the US there was a child proof law. so the button had some kind of restriction, and also 1wire was missing from the small control unit plate (white wire in the picture above was added).


When it all was solved , here is the final result



From 3very rare parts, I got 1 Unique with all functions working :)
Final result: astonishing :D
