hai...

if anyone here is on ozliberty or subyclub you may know me already.

My name's Tristan and i drive a gen2 GX...

it's only been slightly modified...

list of mods:

EZ30R Conversion
VIPEC ECU
Custom Extractors
2.5" catback
4.11 01 Liberty RX 5-speed (40:60 split)
4.11 01 Liberty RX rear diff
HD Clutch
Tein HA Coilovers
294mm Gen2 GT Brakes
17" B4 Multispoke wheels
Gen3 Legacy RSK front seats, drivers electric
Pioneer HU and speakers
Kenwood Sub (1500w)
Kicker AMP (480w)

she's currently making 143kw atw with a quiet muffler and a tame tune to pass emissions (so i can get it back on the road)

Scott at Insight Automotive has told me that with a freer flowing exhaust and a power tune it should make 150+kw atw

Welcome!

Slightly modified :rofl:... I swear officer, my car is completely stock... Even my T-shirt says so :lol:

So are you looking at putting forced induction of that sucker?

if he was it'd have to be a supercharger. Why would you go to the trouble of building those headers only to throw them away to fit turbo headers?

thanks guys...

yeah i was thinking about maybe forcing some boost down it's throat at some point in time...

but the old saying goes do it once do it right... so i'm gonna save up and pull it out so i can forge the internals, drop the compression ratio and pump it full of boost...

i'm figuring 300kw atw wouldn't be hard...

but it'd be expensive...

and i'd have to be running a great gearbox to deal with it too...

welcome to the forum

I like what you've done to your car. Original!

Where did you get the headers from? How much?
