G'day Guys,
I'm hoping to get myself a '74 Galant on the weekend. I've been searching all over the place for info on these cars, and I can't seem to find any consistent information.
One of the main things I would like to know - How much do they weigh?
Also, how much power and torque do the 4g32 make? I've checked the archives and one link provided said they make 73kw and 132nm however I just find that really hard to believe, especially when the same website says the 2.6L astron makes 74kw and 176nm (I understand they make 93kw and 198nm in carb form and 101 kw and 202nm in efi?).
Hoping you guys can help me out, I'm a total noob to the old girls, but already in love and have some big plans
Cheers,
Jer
how much do they weigh?
how much do they weigh?
looking to start an mechanical apprenticeship, if you know of anyone in Melbourne or Gippsland who's looking for a first year, let me know!
Re: how much do they weigh?
about 930kg i think from memory.
If you want any sigma-galant.com stickers, then look here for how to get them sigma-galant.com stickers
Re: how much do they weigh?
I thought 940kg for a Sedan, 920kg Coupe and 1010kg Wagon and the 4g32 running about 95hp or about 70kw
Re: how much do they weigh?
Just an extra, lol
Astron SI 114hp and 145nm
Astron SII Carby 131hp and 212nm
Astron EFi 148hp and 232nm
Or there abouts, lol. all this time later it is really hard to get exact figures. At the time ALL the car makers were lying about figures and fuel consumption, you must know that in Australia in the mid '80's our home loan interest rates were around the 14-18% and fuel was first rising crazy amounts.
I am pretty sure these figures are correct or at least close enough for anyone.

Re: how much do they weigh?
Although not quite the right model, I've got some figures for GA/GB galants from the back of the trusty gregory's manual (taken from wheels magazine 73). If anything it's good for a laugh :
Weight - 889kg
quarter mile - 18.5 (two people)
top speed - 153km/h (5590rpm in top)
power - 100bhp @ 6300, 101.2 lb/ft
+ heaps of other useless info eg : Piston speed at max BHP 354.9 ft/min
I know I alway check piston speed before purchasing a car LOL
Cheers
