I love zatzy.com, they had a connection with a mental yellow volvo, and a mental saab. Keep up the good work when you can, you know it'll be worth it!.

Any Spec Of Your Mates Blue Astra??
6 SPEED, LSD, MINT GREEN BALLISTIC BOGEY. TOTB 09 FWD SHOOTOUT WINNER
10.9 @ 132 ON TREADS MAPPING AND SETUP BY RICKY @ www.race-tech.net
Hello Chris.
I belive i have wrote down a quick info about the spec earlier in the thread.
Rgds.
Honestly the engine will just scream for more than this 'teenieweenie' turbo.
But i got hold of myself when it comes to drivability.
This is about the biggest turbo you get 'normal' drivability from.
otherwise the engine would easily produce somewhere around 800hp with a bigger laggier turbo.
Don´t want that.![]()
Aaaaannnnnd were picking up the ball where we left it.
Have been working a bit to prep enginebay for paintwork.
No pics just yet. but i´m on it.
And the blue Astra mkII above in the pics has been on the rollers today.
a direct swap on exhaustmanifold to a calculated 4-1 manifold with mergecollector gave quite a lot.
15.3hp for a direct swap aint bad.,, not bad at all. it´s mental
Now they´re tuning camshafts and fuelmixture as it was running a bit rich.
we might see ~270hp when the day is over if their luck doesn´t end up in pieces.
any vids of your astra????
i miss my vauxhalls breaking down
look's real nice mate, seeing this really makes me want to get on with my mk1 van.![]()

yesterday and today i have measured the rear wheel alignment.
was a bit off.. but not very far.
left wheel
0.3 degree toe out
-3.5 degree camber
right wheel
0 degree toe out/in
-3.5 degree camber
now its:
left
0 degree toe out/in
-2 degree camber
right
0 degree toe out/in
-2 degree camber
sorted!
might adjust toe a little bit later on to get som toe in. but i´ll read the tires first.

Patrick is that the x22 block your using?
Converting to toyota running gear is a very clever idea, top stuff mate.

P.S. If you think your gonna see 650hp ish why such big injectors???
