It really is so unfair isn't it. Not only do they have all the mental cars but they have all the lovely blondes who want to be naked all the time!

holy schmoke batman.
intercooler looks like something from a refrigerated articulated lorry.
loving the oil cooler, such an effective position, such a good use of space...

I know, i was refering to other tight engine bays.
Good going on the turbo, maybe you could duct air from around the turbo for a heater, then save weight by not having a heater matrix, etc, lol.

Just said and read near on all this tread and trust me its hard with dyslexia.lmao
Absalutly amazing mate i want a mk1 just made 5 phone calls trying to source a shell so i can start it in 6 years.lol
top work dude.
stu
hehe,, it´s harder to not have english as motherlanguage than dyslexia
I´m trying my very best.
MkI is the **** you know...
a pic:
Started to look for my 'bearings' my my camshafts, couldn´t locate them.
So i looked in my scrapbox and found a lot of others.
took me 3 hours to get the cams to spin freely...
also did some measuring on valve heights,, they are a couple of tenth´s off alignment.
Maybe the hydraulic tappets 'swollow' it?
as most 0.5mm to high, that one i´ll grind off a little thou.
I´ll call Enem in Sweden to hear what 'Janne Carneborn' has to say about it.
Have a nice one mates,,,
And,, don´t worry guys about the 'play' in the bearings.
I tested them all with Plastiguage to get them correct.

Only just stumbled across this thread. What a fantastic project. MK1 Astra on of my favourite Vauxhalls ever.
not too far away now really. will come together quite quick
with just top end work/pipework and some electrics
Hi guys,,
the head is complete now as we speak.
Will recive the headgasket on saturday.
HAven´t got any new pics right now.
but i´ll take som in the weekend.
Finally i´m about to bolt the head on for good.(i hope)
in these quiet days from me i have lapped in the valves in the head and got the heights on the valves adjusted, all this,, 'takingmuchtimeandalmostnoworkdone' work is done

Class, its good to know i'm not the only one who tried not to rush the last bit, so many people come unstuck in their egerness to complete.
I say take your time, build it once!

are dynoing the engine or rolling road or just a asre dyno?
Great project is it 650bhp you are aiming for? HAve you got any more info on your block? Which model Frontera is it from? where can I find out more about its short comings? Does it come with the girdle as standard?
Thanks
James
Exactly,, it has also become much money involved.
Dont want to ruin all that with eager to get it done.
it´s done when it´s done...
Rgds
Probably engine Dyno.
or else it´ll be Rolling road.
Here in sweden we call 'arse dyno'..... BUTT DYNO *lol*
Hi James, Thanks for the words.
I´m aiming for 600+ and 650+ is only a bonus.
It´s not equipped with an girdle as standard.
honestly,, if my calculations are correct it will sniff on 700hp,, but,, something can be totally wrong although i don´t think so.
I flowed a head to an Audi 3b this winter.
That engine has the same setup as mine only a cylinder more and little bit less volume.
It has the most greatest curve i´ve ever seen on an Audi 20v engine, those ones uses to rev like bitches and no boost under 5000rpm..
This one has full boost at 3500rpm´s and got full power at slightly underneeth 7000rpm.
Almost like an std engine but really really pissed off.
little info about that Audi:
1.85bars of boost(they got problem with amalvalve) should have got´n closer to 700hp with 2,1-2,2bars of boost.
Fullboost at 3500rpm(locked on dyno)
Fullboost at 4000rpm(simulated run on dyno)
With this engine we aimed for 600+,, you could say we had a little bonus...

Here´s a couple of pics..
an uprated Z20LET gastket:
uprated headstuds: (M12x100mm torqued to 115Nm)
And modified exhaustcam for distributorless ignition:
Head had been bolted on and now the manufacturing takes place for the manifold and all the tubing,, the fun stuff
all bearings and guides has been lubricated with Redline 'break in oil'
Cheers
good stuff. there must be some crazy powered cars over there?? we need vids
i miss my vauxhalls breaking down
the torque curve on that graph is awesome
god dam that is train pulling teritory.
here´s a movie from cockpit of the blue astra MkII i posted pics on earlier.

hold on to your speakers...
at 5th gear they are in about~125Mph.. quite fast astra...
outstanding.
love the way youve got a huge turbo, a radiator, oil cooler and massive intercooler behind the std bumper carrier!
Nova GLF 2006... Coming Soon
Elgan:
Cool you notice the work..
It took some time to sort things out.
and it wasn´t cheap either.
new turbo, new IC, new oilcooler
but well worth the money as i got a lot cooler turbo now
WOW.... that sound the nuts
GSI ..... now gone. it will be sadly missed.
Finally..
one of theese in A/R 0.82 is heading my way,about 2 weeks until arrival.
that sounds mint, what spec of the motor in the mk2??
work looks very well too on the mk1, should be good see some vids of that
GT3520R .82 should see 400-600bhp.
What bar are you lookiing at running it at, as the specs look like it wont be any good unless it get 1.3 bar min.
