Alternator relocation and new stuff

Post by JAS »

Did it in about 4 hours.
I cut down the A/C mount (alot!! :) )
Seemd easy enough, just need a angle grinder(Chop chop) and a welder.
I did it so I can mount the PS pump down where the Alternator use to be.

Looks good, just wondering though on your second pic, the thing with the plug hanging off it in the block, is that that the knock sensor?

It should be said that the manifold is off a Jap import galant which as the twin cam head. The NZ new galants have the single cam head. I guess the Aus new galants are the same.

The jap import N/A Galants manifold is similer to a EVO1-2 or 3. One runner per cylinder. The Import VR4s have a dual runner manifold.
I also shortend the intake runners by about 30mm.
