...and bought a real DSM. Its a completely stock 91 Galant VR4 number 1933. It feels good to finally have a 4g63.
Im going to keep it pretty stock, its going to be my new daily driver. Maybe some new rims and tires when the time comes, but there is a lot of basic maintenance that needs to come first.

Finally! I was wondering how long it was going to take you! Oh and btw, everyone always says they are going to keep it stock! At the dyno last week, one of the VR4's (green if you can believe that!) made 380 something hp and over 400 tq. And the car is perfectly streetable (it actually has almost the exact same setup I have). Such a great sleeper car too. Post up some pics!
Edit: I know you are more than knowlegable on the 420A, but I'm not sure about you're knowlege of the 4g63. If you need any help with anything, or have any questions, give me a call 508-308-1372.

I just picked up the car this morning... drove from West Roxbury to Stow with the plates for my 2G... sketchey. I need to get this thing registered.
Pics to come... I did a lot of basic maintenance tonight - changed all the fluids. The air filter was in really bad shape, it had a gaping hole in one side! Who knows how long it was like that. The transfer case fluid was also really bad. I also think it needs new shocks or something, they feel like they are gone.
The car seemed a lot slower than it should be, so I attached my craptacular Autometer boost gauge and the best boost pressure I could get was about 5 PSI. There must be a boost leak somewhere.
Yeah I know everyone says they are leaving it stock... it's going to be really hard to resist.
At least it will be really easy to pass emissions with this thing. The emissions regulations in MA are retarded - if you have OBD1 it's really easy to pass seeing as how most OBD1 ECU's never gives a crap, and if you have AWD it's also really easy to pass because they only have 2WD dynos so you do a "two speed idle test" which is a joke.

Damn, what is this? NewEngDSM.org?
Oh snap!
Ya Nate, it sounds like you have a pretty big boost leak. Unless the wastegate is f'd up. Good luck getting it running good though. It's going to be awesome when you pull up next to a ricer and blow their doors off with your four door family grocery getter!

Damn, 32 megs! My modem hates me. This is going to take a while...
I took the ECU out today to poke the capacitors. One was leaking real bad and the other two looked alright. I popped them off and after rummaging I discovered that I didn't have the right replacements! Doh. Looks like I will be making a trip to You-Do-It Electronics tomorrow.
I need to make another boost leak tester. My last Home Depot one I made doesn’t fit, not to mention it sucked to begin with.

And so the modding begins... I just ordered an EVO 3 manifold after discovering that my stock one was all cracked up. Do you think I can I still call it "stock"?

Yup! They look about the same (Evo III is only slightly bigger), and if you keep the heat shield on, you won't notice the difference. How's it running, btw? Oh, and where are the damn pictures!
