A little info on the 7 bolt 4g64...2.4 liters, found in 94-98 galants is SOHC form. It uses all 2G parts, front cover, etc. except for the cam gears and timing belt which are replaced by '94 galant DOHC components. 5 cooling holes need to be plugged on the block. Rods are the same as 2G rods. Only one case of crankwalk I have seen, and that was due to a build error. There are no oil squirters, but according to Magnus they are not needed...
This is a good way for 2G guys to get away from crankwalk, gain .4 liters, fast spoolup, and massive torque all without doing a 6 bolt swap.
And it'll be fun to beat some of the 1G guys and tell them you are still running a 7 bolt
I do have one question, assuming your turbo was large enough, wouldn't the same boost yield a much higher airflow, and therefore a substancial increase in HP while keeping knock and EGT's at a minimum?
BTW, I have heard of a few people hitting 8k+ on the 2.3/2.4s with the stock valve train...
