Welcome Scott

I suggest you start by reading all the links in this thread here:
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR VR4?
Its an index thread with all the major questions answered... for those that aren't in that thread (I think) I give you the following answers:

1) Wondering if you can put an evo 8 or which ever box will fit, 6 speed box into a Face Lift 96 -02 - VR 4 Galant.
No
2) What would the cost be to convert it to a rear wheel drive??
Dont bother, if you want to drift, buy a nissan
3) How hard is it to get the gal up to 220kw at all four wheels?
It can be done on stock engine/turbos but requires full exhaust (including dumps & front pipes), Front Mount with hard piping, Aftermarket ECU. For a rundown, look for info on bradc's car
4) The Best mods to start with??
What do you want? Power, handling? best and first mod is boost controller to give you about 12psi.
5) What is stock boost and should i get a power fc with hand controller so i can increase the booost??
Power FC is not available for our cars. Piggy back or full aftermarket such as Haltec are your only choices.
6) How much boost can the stock internals hold up to?
Factory turbo's are only good for about 15psi, so unless you replace turbo's too, that's your ceiling

Thanks for the info few more questions now XD

What size turbo is best?? and like the RX7 FD it has a squensional setup wondering how this would go in one of these... if not what size turbo is best with minamal lag?

I am after both power and handling lol but i think i will go get some coilovers 1st then what else would i need for handling?

 

[mookers]

stock 1/4 mile time... in the 14's I think.

turbos are parallel not sequential. size depends on where you want to sit on the lag/power curve. big turbos won't fit without modding the engine bay though.

thicker anti-sway bars are a good mod after coilovers. Assuming you have the wheels and tyres you want already.

 

[Guest]

what kinda turbos would fit in there? still want to keep it twin... aiming around 250-300kw at all fours. but still want to keep the lag down which the sequnitaol turbo might help not too sure though.

 

[Hotwire]

Twin TD04's on custom manifolds with full exhaust will get you where you want to be.

No I dont want to be rude, but all these topics are covered, just make use of the search button at the top of the page. Search TD04 and you'll see a number of threads on turbo upgrades.

I'm pretty sure that you'll find the internals from an EVO 6 speed gearbox can be put into a VR-4 manual gearbox.

If you search it i'm sure you'll find it in here somewhere as it has been SPOKEN about before, but no on here has done it AFAIK

I searched "insurance companies" and this thread was about 4 from the top.

The internals from an evo 5 speed box are the same from EVO 4 to 9. They will fit straight in. The 6 speed is completely incompatible

The guru strikes again

Thanks for clearing that up mate

 

[Guest]

yeah thanks but are there any 6 speeds that fit?

 

[bradc]

if there was I would have one

 

[NinjAClowN]

try just cars. i got my insurance through them and im on pussy plates for about 1600. plus no charges for mod's you just have to let them know and fax them a docket or invoice.

 

[Guest]

That's 'cause I've been busy.
