6277, I'm about to buy a Galant VR4... Posted by ner947, Mar-26-06 07:05 AM
#1933/2000. The guy is asking 2200 for it, it has about 150k miles. I checked it out today and it seemed to be in really good shape. The power steering felt a bit mushy and the brakes/clutch also felt a tad mushy, the fluids probably need changing and it also probably needs a good tune up. Other than that, there was almost no rust and I didn't see any oil leaks or anything like that. I didn't have any tools so I wasn't able to do a compression check or poke the turbo for shaft play. The car is completely stock. It started right up and it didn't make any weird noises. It seemed to build some boost pressure although it's a 14b so that thing pratically spools at idle. I think I might have to get it...

Sweet. I have always loved those cars. Hard to find one in good shape for a good price though. Good luck w/ the purchase.

contrary to popular belief, the 14b is a decent little turbo for what it is. it can go 12's easily and 11's with some push, 10's if you are a pro. ;-)

agreed. Dunno why anyone complains about 14b's. At least your don't have a T-25 or even worse a 9b (my stock turbo's) They're sooooo small, and w/ 2 14b's people run deep in the 11's and around 500AWHP. To bad you gotta change manifolds to TD05s, which are uber-expensive on these things.
