MY08 Subaru Liberty SUPERCHARGER BUILD (2.5i 5MT ADM)

[blademaster]

my opinion of XR6T is "cheap horsepower in a fat overweight body

Lol, interesting description. My housemate has an XR8, there's just something about that level of displacement.

Yah not good to hear about, but chances are the motor probs over-revved and something broke. Might get a compression test done just before the year is out, but my decision atm is to take the car off the road and worry about it after I get back from my snowboarding trip (Feb). And what will probably happen is that I'll end up doing all the engine work at the same time; heads, crank, retainers, cams etc.

Why just Stage II cams, why not Stage III?? I'm sure TWE had Stage III somewhere on their site.

[Tradewind]

I think Stage 2 - because price. They are a little used set that another customer of mine was using - that customer upgraded to Stage 3 cams and sold the 2's to Turner ......... I should have let him tell the story really

[blademaster]

Ahhh, ic.
I'll probs go straight to Stage 3 cams.

so whats the story Turner?? =P

Cheers Tradewind! I don't have much time for posting at the moment.

As said: just the price and I don't want to spend anything on internals for a while so stage II SOHC is about as far as I'm willing to push. I'm already 100% happy with performance

Respect to west_minist and Tradewind for this build; wouldn't have believed this level of performance was possible...not only that but they actually made it EASY!!

So, an update!! I have a shiny new water cooled supercharger sitting at home! However I have no laptop to post photos

[blademaster]

LOL, so both the supercharged Libs are off the road ATM.

Well good luck with the cams bro.

[turner_822]

Cheers blade! I had a perfect setup and decided to screw around with headers, cams and the like before my knowledge base had caught up! its my own fault for tinkering and rushing things...and certainly no chip off Raptor, XRT or TWE!!! They supplied an ~~80kW gain without really breaking a sweat

[turner_822]

Ok so I still don't have my laptop, but when I do I have a heap of pics to post!

[blademaster]

you doing all of this on the stock ecu??

[turner_822]

you doing all of this on the stock ecu??

Yeah! Go the Denso ECU!! (And west_minist )

[blademaster]

very impressive....
oh well, I'll have to pick this up next year. The workshop i go to doesn't have a slot till next year, and I leave for Norway in like a week.

I really feel you can remove this system. You dont need it Nick.

Lol, it's pretty much done and I couldn't be bothered going back after all this playing around. Had some funky funky stuff happen but its mostly sorted now. Plus I am curious to see how the car responds...this will be the final purchase on my veh-hicle.

I've had to undergoe some severe budget cuts...Much like the Government

Have fun in Norway blademaster!! You lucky bugger!! I love skiing, been doing it for 10years or so but haven't been overseas since Whistler/Blackcomb, Canada in 2009...twas awesome

Fly out today. EXCITEMENT! Merry xmas and what-not, I'll see you guys in 2013 (and hopefully get the car back on the road)

Pls post picks when this is done

i've wanted a Raptor Supercharger since i got my P's.... but however in Queensland it's illegal for a "P Plater" to
drive a Supercharged or Turbocharged vehicle (unless turbo diesel) that and i dont have $5500+
