Captain's GTi

A buddy of mine, Zaid aka CaptainEvo has fallen to the darkside years ago. Getting the G feeling from forced fed akin to injecting drugs into his veins, something he couldn’t resist and wanted more of it.

Quest for power has been irked by certain quarters that err emphasise on control above power will bring the best out of the car, in which I agree. But I also have to agree that having such ludicrous amount of power is just mad as in exciting and very unique. It’s something that can only be understood once you’ve tasted the wonders of forced induction.

Having accustomed to mild tuned Evo 3’s 4G63T in his Satria GTi for years, he started opening a can of worms bits by bits until this year where he’s gone all out, well almost.

Sourced the goodies at the right time and place, set aside a spare engine in case anything went wrong and best of all got very experienced and grease techies to do up his project car. All in, the works are superb and wicked! Have a look at the images and you’ll agree with me completely!

Before you asked, NO the works has not stopped, in fact it’s just begun. I can foresee Microtech LT10 & handset, 2.3 ltr stroker kit, Walbro fuel pump, Sard injectors, GT30 turbo etc. I wouldn’t say how much power it’ll be registering but one thing for sure, with something like that in a hatch could just bend time!

May the power of Lord Sidious bless you with your quest in the darkside bro!
