History
Purchased the car in 2013 with a questionable tune, dyno'd at 293rwkw
Build number 448
Modifications
The car went through an evolution of modifications, the first being a retune and new turbo back exhaust, 350rwkw @ 15 psi. Bad fuel lead to detonation some time later and resulting in piston 5 losing large portions of the top of the piston, block and head were salvageable however the turbo had a lot of piston ring go through it and was cooked.
Engine was sent to Jack Bros in Brisbane where the block was honed 10 thou, head ported, bigger race valves and harder valve springs installed, JE forged pistons, Scat rods, polished crank, 2.4L Process West surge tank, 360L/Hr intank fuel pump installed, Process West stage 3.4 kit was installed and Precision Turbo 6766 with custom 3.5" dump and hot side intercooler piping, 6boost exhaust manifold. Tuned again by Pecky's in Darwin, 360rwkw @16PSI and 420rwkw @20 PSI.
Few years later oil pressure at idle was low, 5-8 PSI, and then blew a head gasket, and turbo found to have excessive play, engine removed and disassembled, big end bearing clearances found out of spec, so the plan was to replace the bearings and also a number of valve guides, and Precision Turbo 6466, this took 20 months to complete,somehow, and when the car finally came back to me the Townsville sun had aged the car and on top of that oil was finding its way into the coolant. New mechanic sourced that fixed the issue and retuned, going away from SCT hand tool to VCM, car made 420rwkw @ 20 PSI.
Sold in Sydney this year after cleaning up the aged paint, fitting a rebuilt pair of brembos.
