mattyd83 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hi All, I'm located Brisbane, QLD, Australia. I bought a '04 Liberty GT (2.0T) 5EAT as a project car from Mackay and drove it home. On the way home the turbo compressor seized in the housing and luckily I didnt loose any oil/water and basically just ended up driving home off-boost with a big lump in the mainfold. Shit happens, I paid less than 5k and the car has a few mods already which paid off the cost of the car. The interior is excellent which is always a bonus. Came with the typical airbag light and the centre dash clock not working. A few existing mods have been done (the exhaust is well done, the rest not so great) Tomei Extractors / Dump Pipe(Titanium) / Custom 3" Exhaust Tomei ARMS M8265 Turbo(which I'll sell off) ProcessWest TMIC (which I'll sell off) Turbosmart Manual Boost Tee Some ricer BOV (Expensive, but I dont like it) - Prob HKS. Wheels/Suspension Koyo Radiator Aftermarket Tranny Cooler HKS/Greedy turbo timer(blerk) Before I bought it I put in a 4T 2 Post Hoist for the build(and just generally, I live on 2 acres and I'm always working on projects) so I've been dismantling the engine and looking over the various bits and pieces that I need to do to get around the 400WHP mark. Not a daily driver, a project car. No timeframe yet. I have oxy/acet gear, MIG, TIG(AC/DC), Stick and I can weld where I need to but I do usually favour buy over build if possible. It would be good if anybody could point me to a summary thread/information post where I could try and determine which STi/WRX parts "fit" the LGT 2.0T motor. I've always made a blinding assumption that generally WRX parts will fit and STi parts may not always fit due to things like manifold differences and twin-scroll turbos but I could be wrong. Any information that you could provide (or links) would be much appreciated. In terms of tuning I've always favored the Tactrix OpenPort for data logging and reflashing but happy to be schooled here too.

RustyRuu Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Have you heard of or looked into hexmods, it should get you closer to keeping your 5eat safe under 400whp. He is a member here just forget his full name and I believe there are stickies in the transmission section on the tranny forum page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
