Galant VR 4 Engine Teardown
Рет қаралды 105,565
Күн бұрынHere is the video you missed: • Galant VR-4 AWD Drivet...
In this video I disassemble a 30-year old antique JDM engine. It sat for the last 15 years, still started up and drove before this began. You can watch me do it in the video linked above. Cars that sit often suffer worse than the ones that are driven, but that only makes this video and challenge more interesting. Besides having a prior history with this car (including some errors I made that I can now reconcile), I also get to confirm its history as it was explained to me, and to the previous owner. We've never had a reason to crack it open until now. Every car tells a story. This one's fortunate to have ended up here in my hands.
This is actually a video I've made before, and most of you have seen the really old 15 minute musical GSX engine disassembly that is my channel trailer. To everyone who complained it was too fast, or not informative enough, this is the exact same process and work, except this time it's narrated. I've never narrated this job before. There were only 3 words in that other video. "Cookies cookies cookies!". Perhaps this one might be a bit more helpful? To all the people who complain I talk too much, go watch my channel trailer instead. It only says "cookies cookies cookies". For 15 whole minutes, that's all you get. This one takes a little longer, but mostly because it fought me more.

It's time you knew, Jafro. It's time I confessed. I'm the bolt. I'm the md706012 "crankwalk" bolt that you should've seen at 3:57. You didn't forget me, Jafro. It wasn't you, it was me. I... I abandoned my post. It was a nut, Jafro, a gorgeous nut. She was so shiny, so stainless, so very nickel-coated. It's no excuse, I know, but by Forge she was spec'ed. We thought we were made for each other. We said we just needed more torque, more lube. Just cross-threaded, we said, back out and try again. But in the end, we couldn't deny it. I'm a m8x60mm, and she's... she's an imperial. Since then I've wandered the roads, stripped and rusty. Pondering the mysteries of life. The unreliabilty of mating connections. And how did a bolt gain sentience and a Gmail account, anyway? I can't expect you to forgive me, Jafro, but I'm writing to warn you. To warn all DSM'ers. We md706012's are prone to wander. Drawn to reach out and kiss the asphalt, the beckoning open road below. We forget how much the crank bearings need us. Loc-tite us, Jafro. It's for the best. It's the discipline we need to achieve our purpose. In the end we'll thank you for it. P.S. Don't feel badly about beheading Bob at 21:10. It's how he wanted to go -- clinging on to the past, never letting go. It's what he always wanted. RIP, Bob, a rebel to the end.

@drawapretzel6003 3 жыл бұрын
Thats basically what i would think this would get. My question is.. whats the max size you can bore those to? Idk what the max bore size to maintain compression is, im sure we are nowhere near blowing it apart, inch thick steel doesnt give short of a miracle, and the gaskets and heads and valves would blow first, but surely theres a physical spec here that we shouldnt exceed. I guess i dont know enough about the options available, and the sizes and compressions involved. Know that we know nothing, and all that.

@@drawapretzel6003 there are guys out there taking them out to 87mm bore, with a 106mm crank to make a 2.6l stroker. I think its a dumb idea because its got severe rod angle issues, and they don't like to rev, but there doesn't seem to be and cylinder failures on them that I've heard of. My ideal build is a 4G64, with oil squirter spots machined in, 2.0 crank, 162mm rods, and stroker pistons. the 2.1 destroker build is kind of insane, they'll rev to 11,000. I've seen Evo's putting down 1000AWHP and revving out to 10,000 with turbos that wont spool until like 6500 lol.

@@ChristmasCrustacean1 The 4G64 is 86.5mm, so a full .060" / 1.5mm over the 4G63, and those handle boost just fine. If he had to he could take it to that. The 4G61/2/3/4 were off the same castings then machined to final sizes. 4G61's are actually ideal for modifying, because no one wants them theyre easier to find. They already have a balance shaft delete, just have the cylinders bored out to 85mm, use a 2.0 crank, and have the oil squirter locations milled and tapped if you want them.

I have to say Jafro, after years of watching your videos, I finally got the chance to apply a fraction of what you do on my car. Last year I swapped the engine in my NC miata from the standard 2L to a 2.5L from a Ford Fusion along upgraded cams. The only reason why I was able to complete that project was because of the skills and work ethic I picked up on from watching your videos. The medical level of parts cleaning and inspection, proper technique for checking tolerances, all were priceless guides in helping me complete the swap. Words cannot begin to cover the gratitude I have for the videos you put out!

Bore it only as much as you need to. Keep things "stock plus", so stock whenever that's sufficient (or unreasonably expensive/effort intensive to change) but do strength or reliability upgrades wherever those are easy or affordable enough, and the same for any changes that make it easier to work on in the future. It seems like you want a daily that you can beat on without worrying about it breaking, or feeling like it's too nice. I think that sounds appropriate and for the best.

After reading some other comments on what others would do There are 2 paths I would take depending on what I wanted to do 1. New rings, bearings, gaskets and seals. Leave the pistons It was running ok before so why change it 2. The smallest over side pistons you can go with, or a set you probably already have that will work Everything else stock Maybe bigger turbo because I know you have 20 sitting there And most importantly, a tune.. I mean, it's a 30 year old car, designed with the intention of running 30 year out fuel. Fuel has changed a lot over the years and so has tuning

Keep the mods as light as possible & get it up and running in a way that someone wouldn't hate driving it everyday in traffic And add a dash of Elantra, "it'll be good enough to get on the road" budget-mindedness. Old VR4 seemed to do pretty good at 7/10 condition & didn't get driven enough anyway (though had/has other issues), I don't think the engine will ever be be the limiting factor or the star of the car. That's what I'd do at least (: respectable enough to sell to someone else when the time comes, cheap enough that you won't lose your shirt on the machining costs.

If it were mine: Overbore one size up, chuck some decent rods/pistones into it, slap it back together with good bearings. Maybe go flex fuel on aftermarket ECU, upgraded knock sensor, wideband, convert to MAP reference if air flow meter (pronounced air-flahmitter) or MAF, coil-on-plug, stiffer valve springs and bump up the rev limit a couple hundred RPM, catless downpipe and full 3", custom tune with a little more turbo involvement, switch to unsprung clutch because I actually find them easier to drive. Also maybe some mild cams (I'm coming from Toyota 3S-GTE and I have the slightly taller stock Gen 3 cam in my Gen 2, don't know if there's the same OEM option for DSM) and adjustable pulleys. But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

My Vr4 block was not as worn, it was slightly above service limit. I could have used it without doing anything. What it did do: Oversized pistons and new rods. DSM / Galant piston and rods are just really cheap (I went with a wiseco+eagle combination because that is what my DSM is running for 20 years now...). For the whole car, what I would do (or better what I am doing to my car) I would describe as a resto-mod. Restore what was great from factory and modificate what can be better. I build a custom turbo with stock look, changed the ecu to an evo7 one, used evo3 exhaust and o2 housing but keeped all the things that made a vr4 a vr4. So still AWS, and still quite exhaust. I did get a mix of vr4 and evo1-2-3 transmission with a straight cut 4th gear... but only because the car should get a bit more power then from the factory. What I would not do to a galant today are things like: remove interior or cut the bumper for a big intercooler... this things are just to rare and classic to do stuff like that.
@ChristmasCrustacean1 3 жыл бұрын
agreed about just swapping in some new oversized pistons, I don't think it really needs forged pistons as it sounds like this is going to be a nicer version of the hyundai and the hyundai does just fine with higher compression on cast pistons. I don't get why some commenters want to save the stock pistons so bad, they're already damaged and sleeveing the block is something that would only be viable if the block were already 30 thou/.75mm over and worn like it is and only because its a matching numbers block. as for the rest of the car, I think Jafro just wants to update the old tech to new tech and leave the rest of the old mods alone and restore what needs restoration.

And then washed it clean with soap and warm water where possible to do so. If I were you and doin what the engine needs to rebuild it, I would install .50 mm oversized piston from factory parts because engine bore were out of service limit. Resurface both block and cylinder head, check for valve stem and guide wear and replace it if necessary, 3 angle valve job done and give it light cylinder porting job done (clean all casting marks without really changing the port shape).

At 40:05 you asked what we'd do if this was our build. Put me down for "Team Just Make It Run". This is not a race-car build to be meticulously optimized, raced until it breaks, and then optimized yet again. That's some-car-body else's job. Since my biggest constraint is free time, I'd maximize the Galant for keeping within a build-time budget, including a buffer for the inevitable unforeseeable. The end product should be reliable and good-looking enough to be sold at a reasonable price to someone who seems like they'll take good care of it. Selling a project car will be self-conflicting, but it's the only way to free up time, space, and money for other projects. Do as you wish, of course, but that's the path I'd take.

Had the same thing happen when I took apart my engine I am building. All the rotating assembly was in spec perfectly, but the bores were so far out of spec. Planning on getting a set of Darton dry sleeves to solve the problem

never been to this channel but damn this brings me back. i was big into DSMs in the late 90s into early 2000s and had 5 Gvr4s (seeked these bitches out like none other, had 3 kensington grey and 2 nile black) along with the obligatory laser, talon and eclipses before moving on to a new evo 8 in 05 then eventually now being a bag of shit with kids and a 3rd row suv lmao (RIP). Just watching all this brought me immediately back to those times lol. Good stuff m8

I would suggest having a machinist measure your pistons, you may be using to much pressure when measure them. If you are then setting your bore gauge off the same micrometer unloaded, you will see a larger discrepancy in your pistons to cylinder wall clearance. A machinists feel when measuring with micrometers is a learned skill. Your measurements with the mics are on the lower side of the factory specs, may be an indication of using too much pressure. Just something to consider, great video! Love your content!
@Jafromobile 3 жыл бұрын
The mic I used has a ratcheting thimble. Whether I calibrated the mic or measured a part, I used the same ratcheting thimble. The tension required to make it click is very light. It's there precisely to prevent this kind of issue. It can't apply enough pressure to cause the arch to deflect. I would agree with the possibility of your assessment if that thimble wasn't there, except that after 160,000 miles, the side clearances are totally reasonable for an engine with 160,000 miles. Many are in the low .020"s which is where they should be given its age. All the measurements may be close to the service limit of .004"... some are beyond and many are even below it. The problem arises when you compare X vs Y. Without re-zeroing the bore gauge, the difference between the side clearances and the thrust clearances is 5x beyond the eccentricity spec of .0004". They're egged so badly that even if they were all under .004", it still wouldn't make very good compression. This is why she's a hard starter that leaves you cranking for a minute.

Always love the videos, I never really comment on videos but I’m going to try and change that. As for what I would do with the block, if it was my galant I would keep it as stock as possible with a good set of rods, pistons, and hardware.

Bro I love *YOUR* videos! They're so honest and entertaining! *Every single subscriber I have needs to subscribe to Aaron Anderson and watch his Colt and Galant videos*. Show him that you appreciate him commenting here! Your wishes and mine are exactly parallel. But wishes vs. reality is the battle we all must face. How do you source stock 6-bolt Galant parts these days when they're worn out and keep it original? I'll do my best.

Thanks dude! That really means a lot, you’ve been doing so long and love watching them. And by stock really just meaning keeping engine a 2.0 or close to it. No 2.3 or stuff like that.
