Meet Chiara

Hey guys, new to the forum and new to JDM! Always had holdens, this is my 7th car, working my way up from barina to v6 wagon commy to sedan then to 5L v8 then to 5.7L v8 ive had my fill of the sluggish beasts that are 'the commodore' and am feeling very delighted to be the proud owner of a quick nimble 3sgte sw20!

Ive always named my cars so without further ado meet Chiara. Shes a bit rough around the edges but she treats me nice :-)







Am trying to get my hands on a stock exhaust too so anyone got one lying around let me know!

Plans atm stand at wanting coilovers, better looking rims, and maybe upping the boost abit.

I think stock boost is around the 14 to 15 psi mark. Am i correct? How high can you boost a stock motor safely?

That low aye. Wel it had a boost controller installed and the highest reading i got was 1.07hkpa which according to an internet conversion equals about 15psi ??? I ended up removing it because after fiddling with my head unit i mustve knocked something and the little tiny hose that goes into the boost controller had a leak and you could hear it behind the dash. Also made the idle horrible. So i removed the whole set up and plugged the hose as a temporary fix and still feels as fast as that 1.07hkpa i pulled previously. Maybe the boost controller was tapped into the wrong hose in the engine bay? The guy who had it before made some horrible choices with his mods and im currently trying to iron them out.

Hard to say man. Rego papers say non turbo and it has the non turbo engine cover... shes had a transplant at some stage
