Liberty 3.0r-b 6spd manual mods?
Hey everyone.
I have had a H6 spec b for a while and was looking at beefing up the power, I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with them or knows of someone that has. There doesn't seem to be any places in Perth that have done anything on them except for an exhaust.. I have found this place over east that does a supercharger kit for them Raptor premium Superchargers Raptor Supercharger Any thoughts or opinions will be greatly appreciated, except for the generic "you should have bought a STI" type comments. Cheers peeps Mark Last edited by neuro165; 03-11-2014 at 02:46 PM. |

3.0 spec B mods?
Hey peeps,
I have posted this in another forum also, I am unsure which is the right one as I am a noob to these forums. "I have had a H6 spec b for a while and was looking at beefing up the power, I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with them or knows of someone that has.

Cheers peeps Mark |

Shame you didnt ask a few days ago, a guy on the liberty forums had a full raptor kit for sale. He still has a few exhaust parts left. A place over east called pulse racing have done a twin turbo kit. Not sure if its mass produced though. You could also get a custom single turbo built like the might car mods build.
Finally, since it sounds like you relatively close to stock, you could sell it and buy an Sti :P |

Have you seen the Mighty Car Mods guys on youtube? They just finished a long-term project 11-sec car. Basically it was an old-school lib with a H6 transplant that they strapped a turbo onto. A lot of work cos they had to change over looms etc which you wouldn't have to do, but you would prob have to custom mount/dump pipe etc as I don't think there are any off the shelf options (could be wrong?)
Anyway, long story short, check out MCM for an idea of what they did mechanically, might help you out

Cheers man, yeah I have seen just about all of MCM videos, unfortunately I don't think there are any turbo yodas on this side of the country. Unfortunately my wife will not let me spend a huge amount of money (over 6-7k)... well to be honest she wont let me spend close to that, but I will have to talk her into it.

Welcome to the forums.
I have merged the two threads to keep all the comments in one place.

Do you have a full exhaust system already, extractors back?
When you get the supercharger, they will be required, so if you don't already have them then it might be a good idea to get them...while your saving for the forced induction. Im a fan of what MCM did, but they have alot of friends and cheap labour. Getting a shop to do all the work could end up quite expensive. I havent looked into it much, but i assume there is no of the shelf turbo kit for these? if not, i would lean towards the SC kit, raptor do have a good name in the SC industry so i would say there kits are quality units. the good thing about a SC kit is that you will get your NA predictable feel with liner boost levels...making it great for a daily / daily you can give a squirt of the line and beat most cars. don't get me wrong i love turbo, but more so a fan of buying a kit designed specifically for your car. at least if it breaks you have someone to fall back on. |

I thought they ran fairly high compression stock and performance gains were hard to achieve.

Thanks Unkn0wn, I have spoken to raptor, the throw in the the headers when you buy the SC kit, apparently a cat back system for a GT liberty fits with no problems and is only about 900 bucks. So that is not too much of a problem.
I have been looking around and there does not seem to be any turbo kits you can buy, I would prob have to do a custom kit which I think will be expensive. Apparently the H6 is a tough motor and can take a bit. The SC should just be bolt on and go. I did provided a link in the original message to raptor. The only issue is tuning. It will have to be tuned because the SC with cause the motor to ping and lean out on the stock tune. The kit looks like it has been designed for the car, which is good. The last thing I want to do is rebuild the motor because of putting too much boost into it. Cheers for the help so far Last edited by neuro165; 03-11-2014 at 01:43 PM. |

I think even with an exhaust and headers you will not get too much power gain.. That's why I am considering a SC kit or something to that extent. |
