Live4Redline's DE-Evolution G4JS Budget Build
#18
Quick Update: I tryed to use the factory Kia knock sensor mostly becouse I forget to swap them out before I got the motor in the car. I re-pined it and gave it a whirl. As I suspected i ran into a lot of false knock (upwards of 32 counts) that I tryed to tune out by adjusting the knock sensitivity map but it wasnt working out so with the help of two additional people, a 6ft extention, a ground down snap-on socket with a swivel attached we threw in a Evo knock sensor and full throttle got two counts of knock before we ran out of road.
Havnt had the chance to get a full tune on the car yet but pending some warmer weather and a thing or two to get it legally back on the road so I dont get a ticket on the way to the dyno, we should have somr results. (Need a windshield, Passenger Side Fender, exhaust and an inspection sticker.

Well the timing belt tooth pitch or gap for the 4g15 sohc is the same for the G4JS just narrower. If only I can get the diameter of the 4G9x cam gears, if its the same as G4JS then their will be a way to adjust cam timing.

Planning on swapping the G4JS shortblock into a 7G Galant soon.
