My wagon the day i baught it



stock NA 91 liberty GX 4wd, except for:
airbag system replaced by springs and struts
2.5" cat back exhast.

It then received a turbo conversion done by my brother Nick and myself.

full transfer from a modified 1989 legacy rs front cut purchased from BMI.

front cut modifications where:
TD05H turbo
JDM modchip
my 96 ver 2 4.11 gearbox

driveline conversion was done over one weekend and it fired up first go.



the std legacy rs engine died within the first 48 hours of operating in the new chassis.



so a new engine was sourced from Al (now trading with Miles as AM Auto :wink: ) It was a 1997 JDM Legacy GTB longblock.

i bolted all the RS manifolding and sensors onto the GTB and got this.







the result, a much better and stronger engine then the old rs.

i then cut and welded some stainless piping for a FMIC and it came up like this.



specs:
97 legacy GTB engine converted to single turbo with rs manifolds.
TD05h turbo with ported wastegate
FMIC
2.5" cat back exhaust with no rear muffler
dodgily bell mouthed stock dump pipe.
MY04 titanium wrx 17's


The car and myself has attended
ROC 2006
3 dyno days with a power output of 177.5kw in 4th gear



one night at WSID where i ran a best time of

ET 13.754
60' 2.163
mph 101.80(163.84km/h)

due to my not being able to drive properly



this is how the car is today.
