Norbs build and tune - 05 LGT

Postby norbs » Tue Sep 11, 2012 6:54 am

Hi All,

Recently had my engine rebuilt due to a head gasket caused by overheating (leaky coolant hose). Phil Lowe built the motor for me and did all the work including tuning. The main mods are:-

- 2.5L bottom end with forged pistons and rods plus Phils special tweaks ;-)
- ported heads + Cams
- Process West TMIC
- Kando EL Headers
- AVO intake
- AVO dump
- Blouch Dominator 1.5 XTR Turbo

Phil has done a terrific job and the car drives fantastic. Pulls like a freight train. Car made 245KW and 550NM on Springy dyno which is known to be low reading. Phil said the TMIC is starting to hold it back and more gains would be had by going front mount. But I'm more than satisfied and I'm nearing the end of the modding path. Might just add an AOS to cap it all off. Here are some of the dyno graphs:-
