Do these manifolds bolt on to starion engines? Its an 88 galant. having a little trouble finding a multipoint manifold atm.

it might. it does says its a 2l

If it's off a HG Gallant 2 litre it should bolt on but u will have 2 reverse the TBody & work out a new wayto route the water from the thermostat to the radiator (not hard )

found one easy as today and will be getting it on mon. time for progress at long last. and time to spend some money. :)

thats a 4g37 saturn engine isnt it? should be a 1.8l? If not, that valve cover looks identical.

na its a 2L. will find out if its right on monday when i pull it off the car.

Looks like the Hyundai Sonata manifold.
Why reverse the manifold? Is it because of the pipe from the air filter?

Because the throttle body will point at the firewall otherwise.
yes that manifold will fit btw.

That's an NZ model SB Galant - HG/HH is only applicable for Australia. That's a 4G63 SOHC MPI engine, 9.1:1 compression ratio. The 4G37 in the NZ model Galants were carburettored. It does not look identical to a 4G37, the spark plugs on a 4G37 are equally spaced apart while on the SOHC 4G63 are they bunched together, and the valve cover clearly shows this with the indents.

It will look like a Hyundai Sonata manifold because the Hyundai Sonata 2L engine is a direct clone of the Mitsubishi 4G63 and they share a multitude of parts.

The throttle body will have to be 'cut and shut' from one end of the manifold to the other, as if that manifold was fitted to a 2L Starion as-is, the throttle body would be pointing towards the firewall and that's not ideal for any decent piping. The upper radiator hose will have to be extended and the thermostat housing spun around 180 deg too.

Sorry to get all technical, but I've had many of that shape Galant and they are almost my specialty :P

got one the other day and i imagine is the same as the sonata one. Only cost $40 aswell. is away getting modded to face right way atm. Yay progress :) :) :)

Hey man yeah trying to get the lancer goin and on the road so can get the star in the garage and rip into that. don't like it sitting out in the rain.
