Calling Galant GLS '80's owner.

[Mell74]

Hi Bro,
I just own a '82 Galant 1.6lit and I was suprise that the FC is very high. 1st time I fill up the tank it went up to RM120 for only 500km!! Very shocking exprience. What can I do about it? I mean to reduce the FC of this car cause I just love the feel when driving it. To change to a bigger engine will help?

Thanks for your contribution.

It's a carbie car... FC is much higher than fuel injected cars. Alternatively, when was the last time u overhaul / service the engine?

Bro,
I just bought it 2 weeks ago without doing any research of this model. In fact it's wasn't a plan buy. Than only I realise the FC is very high but it's too late already! But I love the feel went driving it, Very comfortable and big!
So, I was thinking of changing the engine to 4G37B Super Touring engine. Is it going to help to reduce the FC? Again, it not worth to overhaul the engine as 1.6 for that body is underpower I guess!?

Thanks.

Hi acbc,
I have already change the engine to 4G37B and the Fc is quite good, about RM0.18 perkm. but still I not very satisfied with the power increase! Thinking of changing to 4G63B, any coment?
By the way what the diffrent between 4G37 and 4G37B?

Thanks.
