There are a few different reasons as to why i havent done that already and why im not jumping straight to the conclusion of an engine swapgeezer101 wrote:If the compression is that bad you sure there isn't a valve issue? Anyway I think you'll be better off binning the 4G32 Saturn engine and go for extra cc's. The 4G52 Astron 2 litre is a good all round engine or you could go for a G62B or a G63B Sirius engine. Straight up you'll get 200 - 400 extra cc's and it will make a real world difference on the road. In a lightweight car like the Galant it'll maintain good fuel economy and will feel more responsive. The cash you'd pour into a bottom end rebore and build will fall way short over what you could drop in for a fraction of the cost.
Firstly this engine has had money spent on it, and it is a really good setup, very responsive and has a good deal of power, even though its a low comp setup to take a turbo. Secondly, while a 4G5x conversion would probably net me more power (possibly) it would weigh more, and would cost me upwards of 300 bucks to get it engineered for the car, of which is a big deal in QLD as modified car owners are constantly getting hassled over modifications, whether you have them or not. Third up is because im really happy with how this engine performs when its working correctly, it runs great, rev's great and goes great.
Now for some good news, pulled the head and this is the gasket, Blown but the best case scenario
