NSW Brandons 96' 5 Speed Legnum

[brandon.s]

Hey guys ,
My names brandon, thought it was time for an intro.
Been a member for about a month now and just started as a Premium Member !
In feb this year i bought a 1996 silver 5 speed manual with 56k on the clock.
It currently has a GFB BOV , Fujitsubo Cat back exhaust , Blitz Racing Wheels , HKS mushroom filter and a Turbo Timer.
I am planning to bring it to the 250kw mark hopefully.
Since owning i have replaced leads,plugs,rocker cover gaskets,tube seals, alpine type r front splits, kickers in the rear for fill, 1000 watt amp .
Looking forward to as much info and data you guys have to offer and hope i can give some too.

Quickest way on stock turbos to 230Kw is full exhaust with dumps, hard intake pipes, new 650/1000cc injectors and e85 tune.

Congrats on your purchase.

I would also ditch the pod for the stock airbox and snorkle as well. Our MAF sensors don't deal well with pod filters.

I would recommend Steve from TME for tuning as well.

Thanks mate , yeah starting a list haha.
Should be fun ! Im sure my wallets gonna love it !

Welcome Brandon, nice colour too- all the cool kids have it
Don't hold your breath for 230 on E85 maybe 220 is a better figure if you're chasing numbers- but it'll have monster torque at that output!

220 or greater will really need a different set of turbo's.

I think 230kW would be a fun output level. I had Kinagawa make me a set of high flowed oem turbo's, its been an long process but hopefully have them on the car in the coming weeks.- Yes I've said that before, but its now up to my mechanic to fit the car in. Been sitting at his workshop for the best part of a month now.

Lots of good info and people on here to assist with your goals.

I realise 250 is a tad ambitious!
200 is the first goal and i guess ill have to see where it goes from there haha.
No one has reached 250 with a legnum yet ?

There was a crazy Russian dude a few years ago with a monster Legnum - I'm sure it would have had at least that much power. I don't think he was on the forum but there were links to his videos. Not sure if his car is still alive though.

 

[brandon.s]

interesting ! Will have to do some research !

 

[unclepaulie]

Derek, do you mean Valmes? Twin tdo5's I think he had. About 500 odd hp.

Yes, that's the guy. Is his car still in one piece?

 

[brandon.s]

Ill get a decent photo of them up tomorrow ! There gold and they came from japan , not a big fan !

 

[brandon.s]

They were imported on the car ! I will be selling these soon , when i have the cash for some xxr 527 !
