And yes that is a Turbo VS in some pics haha

It's been a while since an update, as I've been busy busy haha so here's a quick rundown and some pics. The conversion went as planned, got it all in and running over 3 days. Got the exhaust done a week later. Let's just say she's not the slow old Wagon anymore haha. Loving it. Conversion...

Update, So it's all go ahead for the transplant to happen next Weekend. (Anzac Day long Weekend). Yesterday bought new Silicon Joiners, New Pod Filter, Oil and Coolant. Also got all my gauges hooked up and ready to go :)

Update, bought some more goodies on Saturday (Gates Timing Kit, Nason Head Bolts and Permaseal 1.3 4 layer stainless steel Headgasket VRS kit). Got the new head gasket and bolts torqued down and the motor timed with new belt and tensioner. Turbo Manifold bolted and Mani-Sealed on. Dump Pipe...

Oh and after the engine is in and running good, it'll be getting a paintjob :) (spraypainter by trade) here's what I plan it on looking like:

Been absolutely flat out this weekend on this conversion. Pulled the head and sump off on friday night to find out she's got 50 thou oversize pistons :D Took some parts into my mates workshop and put them in the parts washer and they turned out great. And on Saturday all the painting started...

Wooo got my parts back today and im stoked with them :)

Still stoked! Wasn't expecting anything haha

Good day down at the Beerwah Charity Sportsday Show N Shine! Even came home with a trophy!

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I can't find the Wagon rear bumper kit on ebay? There's a whole bunch of front bar kits, and rear bars for sedans, but no wagons.

Yeah, im so keen for boost, either Turbo or Charged it's gunna happen haha And I've been told that a tune should fix it, but there's no point getting it tuned now if im gunna be playing around with it down the track. It's a strange thing, it only does it from a standstill. Say if im cruising...

I've been talking to the guys at Exile Motorsport, and they can do me a kit for around $4000, installed with a rough estimate of power at 300hp at the wheels. Includes manifolds, turbo, injectors, chip etc... And sadly because of gearbox issues (because it's a VT gearbox it doesn't like the...
