Hey Mate,

Welcome to the site

Firstly you'll definitely be able to find someone down your way to do a conversion for you. Get in touch with some of the ACT members and someone might be able to point you in the right direction. Also Sydney is far closer to you than QLD. There are four places that would do a conversion for you within a few hundred meters of where i'm sitting right now and there must be literally hundreds of places in Sydney that could do it for you. No problem...

Secondly you should read through some of these threads. They discuss the pros and cons of turboing an N/A EJ engine. Read through it and make up your own mind but i think you'll find that a wrx conversion is definitely the way to go...your gx engine just wont handle it.

Dear Herman,

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll get in touch with Datman. I'll also post some photos of my car. I should say that my avatar is not my own car; it's a photo of a Liberty GT lifted from some car review. It does have the same red duco as mine though. The similarities end there; mine lacks colour-coded mirrors, side protectors, spoiler, driving lights, etc....

Peace.

Dear aekOne,

Thanks for your reply. After having read most of those threads, it's pretty clear that it's not such a good idea to bolt a turbo onto my EJ220. So I will find some place in Sydney that can convert my engine (either that or this Datman fella). This forum really is a blessing (not that I'm religious at all).

Your photo looks pretty cool. It'd be really nice to have a Liberty RX like you. I'd also like to drag down George St., if only NSW Police weren't exponentially tougher with their laws than ACT ones, and if only there weren't such a high risk of getting about three red lights before hitting 100km/h. haha.

Peace.

Hey mate and welcome to ozliberty,

IF your interested i can work something out.

hey just wonting to no i have a 1997 rx lib and would trhis motor and gearbox fit in without any real complications??? and the big question is how much?????

should be good my cousin has a ej25 built from rigoli.
ill try and get that first
he wants $8000 complete
does this sound reasonable???
apparently will handle 30 psi no probs.
but if all else fail may have to come back to you

thanks

I sent you a PM mate,

cheers

I don't think 19s will fit. If they did, it would look really awkward on a stock GX. I say, go with 17s or 18s and hope you don't get a tight ass cop that will defect you.

well i will all let you no that 19" wheels do fit .i currantly have a sey on my 97 rx sedan.and if you really wanna push it you can fit 20 in there. so if you really want a set of 19 inch wheels on your lib. they will fit!!!!!!
