Help tube admission to Vectra C in Z20let

[Hector]

Hello friends.
The other day I got my 2 new parts to replace the air intake from the front of the Vectra C 2.2DTI.
The thing is I got her into the hole but it fits me like the series.
Does that change anything or does not fit perfectly?
How can I know your position correct? That my car is taken apart by a howl of turbo.
I hope I can help.

write it in spanish

[Hector]

hola.
Yo he comprado el adaptador y la entrada de aire del opel vecta 2.2dti para mi opel astra G mk4 turbo.
Resulta que la tengo encajada en el hueco entre el radiador y la viga de sujeccion del paragolpes pero me surgen dudas.
¿Como se encaja del todo,por que no logo encontrar la posicion?¿Hay que adaptar o hacer algun tipo de taladro o cortar alguna pesta*a?Es que me he dado cuenta que son mas grandes que las de serie y no entran en los agujeros oem.
¿como se coloca exactamente?

Hi Hector, even if your English is not very good, I am sure someone can still help you, but since we cannot fully understand exactly what you are trying to describe, so it is difficult to help.

I am sure somebody will help you but only if you can explain exactly so let me try and ask you again if you can re-phrase some of your questions:

But you should tell us what is your problem, and what car do you have ?

as your profile says you drive an Astra and are you trying to fit something from a Vectra?

Is your problem with the inlet pipes?

Are they different sizes ?

Or are you having a problem routing the pipes from a Vectra into your Astra, ( both being Diesel) and cannot work out the best route or the pipes will not fit good and tightly on the hole, or are the the pipes of a different size and you need an adaptor ring?


And I understand you are saying at the moment you have taken your whole turbo out.


If Spanishfly awakes up I am sure he will be able to understand your problem, perhaphs he has already gone to work now. lmao

You need to tell us more details about the problem you are having.

[Hector]

Agreed.

What I mean to ask is.
How do you put the cold air intake from the grill of Veccy C 2.2DTI the air filter box Mk4 Astra Coupe Turbo?


"Better?

[MSG]

Yes thats perfect, we understand that now, but I can't answer or help you on this as I do not have any personal experience , now I am sure somebody will be able to help now. Please Vectra, and Aastar diesel guys help him.

Sometimes when you can't route the pipes straight to the front grill, due to other obstructions and other running gear such as the pumps, belts, turbos and what not, you often have to drill a large hole in the inner wing towards the front of the car at some location which must not effect the vehicle strength and then through there into the wheel arch, well away from the tyres, and out through the front bumper sort of below the headlights, or sometimes some people end up taking one of the twin headlights out and put an intake hole there, leaving just one headlight instead of the twins, (twins means two headlights together on each side of the car)

or if you did not want the intake to be through the bumper or the head light, some people even have the intake through the side of the front wing, it is all about access, although having it straight in the front is better as air gets pushed in naturally as the car speeds up,

You could also route from the front grill assuming you have your intercooler not obstructing the grill area, then route the pipe from there first to the wheel arch and then back into the engine campartment routing past all the obstructions, and to your inlet.

remember some Vauxhalls have a great big hole in their inner wing for the track rods, so the hole you make will be similar but more near the front part of the inner wing. .

Hector I am sure you can work out a suitable route yourself, but just bear the areas you should not drill or the car can loose strength at cruicial areas, avoid holes near the strengthening beams, and brackets and so on.

bttt for the Julio Flyglasious

[eliters]

i know the vectra c intake is bigger,you say its going aon a zlet,i assume its a zlet astra?

I have no air box 2.2.
