    Turbo Power for my Vectra B Supertouring??

    morning all.

    Im planning on a new Engine come the start of 2011 as the V6 is just way to heavy.
    I want to start doing my homework as soon as possible.

    Im looking to go down the root of a C/Z20 LET or even the LEH engine, looking for a healthy 300/350BHP!

    now im not massively mechanically minded but want to give this a go so i can say ive achieved something in life lmao so im looking for as much info as possible, good links, easier options engine wise, problems i may hit etc, i no theres a few Turbo'd Vectras on here already so im reading up on them as much as possible.

    Any help would be much appriciated

    If ur thinking of c20let or zlet with kkk16 turbo u will have to remove aircon pump to make room for boost pipe it will also help to save a wee bit of weight

    As u say nick its a V6 so will have cable operated gear change and hydraulic clutch so best to use an f23 out of a vectra and keep it cable operated instead of goin for f28 cable gears is far better than gear linkage

    You need a C20LET ecu, PJ or PK type... or HD type with the key chip
