Liberty STI H6 Bi-turbo THE BULLIT porn.

synthetic?

Are you considering upgrading the rest of the running gear to cope with the increased power and torque?

The rest of the power train should handle it, the 6 speed gearbox is bomb proof. Maybe drive shafts and half shafts if we really really need to but we shouldn't.

Clutch breaking too by the sounds of it

Yes thats the stock clutch being overpowered but not yet breaking at 0.27s in the video as mentioned in the associated video text, so no gold star for noticing that I'm afraid... So clutch upgrade not installed yet at that time.

dont feel bad as the clutch becomes an issue for many once you start increase torque and hp.

Yeah thanks, but Paul and I pretty much expected it in the back of our minds. Question now is do we use a push button type STI clutch or go more serious and go synthetic clutch?

haha omg you really want to spank the euro`s good in traffic gp

Yeah I know - but I just felt that "BULLIT" straight would just be too wanky... And most of my friends think private numbers plates are pretty wanky as it is. And generally people usually get their brain cells together and figure it out. What do you think? Should I get "BULLIT" when she's completed?

Stuff your friends, it's your car. BU 11 IT is already taken in NSW according to the RTA website. You need the SL 33 PR plates. But they are gone too. The choice is yours in the end though.

Hahaha thats funny I think I've actually seen that plate SL 33 PR on the road but can't remember the car (obviously a sleeper then). I've had my eye on BULLI7 when and if it becomes avail'.

[GTSPECB STI]

any updates on this project?

[Woodduck]

Wouldnt having "sleeper" number plates kind of defeat the purpose of, having a sleeper?

Yeah i want updates! More videos and photos

I'm a bit late to the party here but I personally would be loathe to use a conventional 3/4/5 puck button clutch in an AWD car, especially if you're leaning towards one with an unsprung centre. The amount of shock it puts through the driveline is not insignificant, and in an AWD car you can't just give it a few extra revs and let the tyres slip like you can in a 2WD car, the shock has to be absorbed somewhere and if it's not making it to the space between your tyres and the road it's going into your driveline. Unless you're happy to have heaps of shuddering or at least a very short-lived clutch, you can't slip it so moving from a standstill at a more sedate pace is extremely difficult. For those wondering, a "button clutch" doesn't mean you press a button to put the clutch in/out, it refers to how the clutch itself is built. It also describes how it works... it's either ON or OFF, there's not much in between

Maybe consider going for a multi-plate clutch with full-face clutch plates, or some of the more recent multi-puck clutch plates that can apparently tolerate being ridden/slipped. This should give you enough clamping pressure to hold 350-ish kw easily (a single plate would need something approaching a 4000lb pressure plate to do that I'd imagine) without having to resort to button-type clutches, and will be much more friendly on your driveline and make for a much more relaxed daily driver. You can get twin-plate clutches that will hold 1000hp and drive like a stocker. If it's going to be primarily a track car and you're building the driveline to suit though, go for gold lol.

Either way, nice project, I'm keen to see it "finished" - if there is such a thing!

no updates on this build since May 30 indicate that things may not have gone as planned I suggest.

[GTSPECB STI]

SL 33 PR is actually on a Silver Gen 3 Subaru Liberty (if i remember corectly they where for sale too)


EDIT: WHOOPS my bad.. there QLD plates lol

Spotted your car with it's new plates and wheels yesterday at Pulse. Picking her up on Monday? She's looking the goods.

Anyone got some tech info on how the build was done?

I'm guessing from the comments, it's got a pair of TD04S's on it (ex WRX???) and it's running a true parallel implementation (3 cyls per turbo down through separate exhausts) and maybe some form of balance pipe between the headers to avoid turbo shuffle?

Would be REALLY interested in this setup, as it's a nice smooth setup for very large daily numbers as has been show, 225kW ATW from 4psi is laughably good, those turbo's aren't even in 'failsafe' type range at 4 psi. Even Subaru run them at 8psi in failsafe mode.

[Boxer]

I believe 10PSI sees in the order of 275kw
