8 hours on the road and well worth it.

**NeilC** · 11-10-2006 14:03

I went to Courtenay last Friday for the CS4 upgrade. I left my house 4.30am to get there for 8.30 and didnt leave there until 7pm with other 4 hour drive home.

Great buch of guys at Courtenay and I have no complaints

end result was

287.6 @ 5635rpm Bhp
329.7 @ 3580rpm Torque

it pulls like a train and foot down in 5th @ 80mph is just mad with it hitting 24psi

**CraigGreen** · 11-10-2006 14:28

5hrs+ to Courtenay from myu place.

Glad you are pleased with spendage. Boost is so addictive!

What were the previous power figures?

**Jambo** · 11-10-2006 15:02

How much that all set you back with the RR setup included?

it cost me a £1012 on the day but I did get some other bits done while I was there.

I think it is about £550 to go from CS3 to CS4 which includes VXR injectors and a remap.

**Spankee** · 11-10-2006 15:08

Well done mate great figures that.........

**Jambo** · 11-10-2006 15:15

Not bad value either then

Well done bet it flies, fancy a astra coupe myself very nice cars

**Orange Peel** · 11-10-2006 15:16

A nice gain then from CS3. Never a cheap exercise though!!!

**Dave Broomfield** · 11-10-2006 16:46

I'm booked in on monday for cs4. can't wait now

**Adam** · 11-10-2006 16:49

287.6 @ 5635rpm Bhp
329.7 @ 3580rpm Torque

and u spent near a grand bar other bits

yikes i think i prefer c20let and upgrade power!

**NeilC** · 11-10-2006 17:01

C20LET is much cheaper to get big power from lol

Courtenay have had just over £5000 for work on the car since March.

It went in standard and came out with complete CS3 including brakes etc etc which the last owner paid for luckily

**D15RTY** · 11-10-2006 17:36

im thinking c20let is the better tuning option

but good figures

**NeilC** · 11-10-2006 18:20

C20LET are getting rare now and trying to find a good one is a mission.

Z20LET will take it place soon unless any VXR lumps turn up

**corsatdave** · 14-10-2006 12:33

**Johnny A** · 14-10-2006 16:57

**sharpys_22** · 14-10-2006 17:05

just buy a fooked c20let and rebuild it then! its still sodden cheaper lmao

**NeilC** · 14-10-2006 19:43

I spent 12k on my old Cav but that did include paint. But I did spend about 3/4K on the engine i think.

John I paid £200 for the injectors

Sharpys, C20LET is the old style turbo engine found in Cavs and Calibra's etc. Courtenay Sport are a Vauxhall tuning specialist like Regal Autosport and Wallace Performance etc etc

**Adam** · 14-10-2006 19:52

hmmm 12k? 12k incl normal new wear and tear adding?

**NeilC** · 14-10-2006 19:57

Killed the engine in 3 day and that had a complete rebuild top to buttom to most phase 4 stuff.

VTS Locked went in just after to handle the power better.

Complete flip paint including door shuts, windows out job.

it all adds up

My new coupe from standard has had 7k alone on mods since march and Courtenay have had just over 5K of that lol
