hey guys, been kickin around on the forum for a while now, thought i better step up and say hey.

Names Tony, and Live on the Gold Coast, i have an MY05 GT Liberty with various mods, (tuned by STI)

i've just swapped my Nissan Sil-Eighty for a 92 RS Lib.

its aparently got a new forged engine. new Clutch and Gearbox, FMIC and a Haltec ECU

Been tinkering around with it today, the car runs like absolute puss when cold, then when warm runs alot better, its running rich as and im guessing fouls the sparkplugs because it has a pretty nasty miss.

with the engine mods its got
(closed deck block
40thou over sized
forged rods
ported heads
haltec e6x ecu
brand new walbro in tank pnmp
vf34
front mount
3" exhaust)

How much boost should i be-able to push through it? at the moment its running the actuator boost of 8psi


Who in the Gold Coast, Brisbane area that can tune the Haltec? and dosnt charge an arm and leg


looks fairly stock, apart from chrome exhaust FMIC and 19" rims. will get some pics up shortly

A few pics of my 05 GT 84DGT

Gday Tony, gratz on the purchase mate, lets see some pics and info :)
Welcome to RS town, there awesome cars.
As for your questions, your asking how long a piece of string is.

Best bet, make sure your supporting mods are done, fuel delivery/spark etc(do some searching on this in tech if you want to know more)
Also, if you know 100% the internals are forged, and if the mods are done(as above) then i would think 20psi shouldnt be an issue(and a hell of a lot of fun) But keep in mid with a tuneable ecu, best bet is get it to a dyno, with a professional tuner, and they can give real advice.
