oz liberty virgin. be gentle, wanting feedback too

  Top of Page

hi all just thought id introduce myself to ya. eric is the name and im an apprentice carpenter.


now my car. i got my 92 rs liberty about a year ago and started to tinker with it... thats when the bug bit me, always wanting a bit more power, handling, braking.
i got it with the suspension and brakes pretty much taken care of so all i needed to do was the motor.
got a very low km v6 sti bottom end as i wanted it forged, with twin turbo heads and cams, held together with arp studs. so with me spending many a night sitting, drinking, cursing in my shed building my masterpiece it finally came together. The reason i did this is because i wanted to up the power and boost but do it reliably (i like overkill for piece of mind). i have a flipped core fmic and 3" inch tbe joined by a tdo5.
Getting the power to the ground i got a stock clutch (for saving my gears) 4.11 box through my02 wrx rims with bridgestone potenza adrenalin.

to name some more mods:
bosch 910 pump
bosch hec coils
gtb calipers with 294mm slotted discs
kyb agx
king springs
resonator replacement pipe
ss uppipe
coolant throttle body bypass

done other things but cant think of them

got cleaned, flowed 440cc yellow tops ready to drop in just getting parralell fuel rail setup sorted out.
im hoping to get around 180kw atw on 17-18 psi.

do you think this is achieveable?
if not, what do i need to do to get this power output RELIABLY.
not really wanting to go aftermarket ecu

and lastly what are your views and opinions on my current setup. what do you think i can do better, to increase performance etc remembering to keep it in mind i still want it as a comfortable every day car. cheers

i am keen to hear your comments ...

Welcome to Ozliberty.
Your car sounds like a pretty decent build mate, please share some pictures.

As for the power figuer. I'd say its an obtainable goal.

Hey eric, welcome.

i didnt know you had a forged engine.
the 440's will run fine with slightly lowered fuel pressure but it might feel a bit doughy off boost, this happened to hendo.

Welcome to OzLiberty Eric.

Certainly sounds like a very nice RS.

I appreciate the fact that your building the car not for all out power, but power with reliabilty. Thats the path i want to go.

+1 for pics.
