Hello from Townsville

  Top of Page

Hey all,

My name is Mic aka Chief or Evilchief (long story behind that one ... )

Anyway i own a 1991 Subaru Liberty GX, which wen i bought had a EJ20T conversion done to it, yet had more bugs than my backyard. so not long after i decided to upgrade it (which is now last year) to semi tuned length turbo manifold, T3/T4 turbo, haltech E6K, 550cc injectors, surge tank, etc etc

a few months back i had enough of turbo lag and decided to do it all again:

TD05H 16G Turbo
tuned length turbo manifold
3" dump pipe
440cc injectors
Haltech E6X (with 2.5 bar map)
bigger throttle body
improved WAIC
4.5kg flywheel
HD clutch (3000pound pressure plate & ceramic friction plate)
99WRX box
4.11 diffs (all open for the time being)

and a few other bits and pieces ...

Turn over is this weekend if all goes well, if not next week sometime. plans for the future will be a custom build gearbox and a 2.5l engine with the usual upgrades :scare2:


My other car (project car) is a 1998 AU Falcon with full Au XR8 S3 bodykit, seem welded engine bay, 6 point roll cage, 9" diff, Tremec TKO 600 manual, 347 eagle stroker engine, Trickflow heads build by cosworth, 8 throttle bodies, Haltech E11V2 and two huffers :blush2:

So there you go .... i am a mad bastard :new_russi but i just blame it on my german heritage

Cheers
Mic

Welcome to the forums.

You've either got way too much cash, or don't eat :ohmy:
Awsome sounding pair of cars though, looking forward to hearing more about the future upgrades :victory:

Suprauc: thx mate

fatcat67: definately the heat ...  give us a hoi when you come up next time, i am always trying to organise some cruises up here, but ppl tend to keep to them selves :Dntknw:

XoN: I dont eat much anyway, but it helps if you are a mechanic in terms of building up cars. the AU is still a fair way off running, i am still working on the engine itself, however body, interior and most of driveline are completed.

Looks good mate. I'm a bit curious as to why you're going to a TD05 to get away from lag, I was under the impression that they were quite laggy too :ohmy:

XoN: i can gurantee it will be less laggy than the T3/T4 i had, the TD05 is nicely seized between the VF11 that originally came with it and the T3/T4 i had. I am also implementing an anti lag system for better launches, so i am pretty sure lag wont be much of an issue this time around.

XXb4XX: it sure is, especially when they are atmo

rosso: I havent been able to go out cruising for quite a few months, as i only had the missus barina to drive lately, so no i havent seen anyone out and about lately unfortunately.

benny: silver Gen2 rings a bell and whte rs with gold mags def rings a bell, but my car has been off the road for quite a few months now, so i seen much of townsvilles car scene except for the cars we get through our workshop.
