My Astra Sport - GSi Turbo rebuild.

[Topbuzz]

seanr28 - where did you get the custom exhaust and intercooler pipes from? Trying to find a place in kent to do my calibra c20let

[seanr28]

Well, been a while since an update, still running it in, covered only about 600 miles so far,.


Anyway, I have had few issues with the sh!tty Astra Mk3 front suspension top mounts, so I have decided to but these sweet looking alloy ones with camber adjustment. Not cheap, but should be well worth it!!

[Gaz86]

bet they cost a pretty packet lmao

[seanr28]

Yep, £138 delivered was the best I could get the for!! Still worth it in the long run the standard fitment ones are crap!

[J Sabo]

see them on ebay - keep us informed of how they perform

[seanr28]

mm, I've never seem them on ebay before, been looking for something like this for ages.

[VegasPhil]

Immaculate.

Only popped on here to look for something quick. Spent the last half hour looking at this. :|

Lovely project mate!

[seanr28]

Thanks, taken some time, and cost a small fortune.....................so far!

[seanr28]

Well, its been a while, its pretty much run now!

Just got the rest of the Front Powerflex bushes I need

[Dutch]

Excellent thread, good work. How many hours have you spent on it? Or too scary to add up

[seanr28]

mo idea, bloody ages though!

[seanr28]

Been busy today,

wipped the fron bumper off and put the standard Head lights back in and ditched the Angel Eyes!





Then I modified my fuel rail to take Fuel pressure gauge




Then I decided to start on the interior



Removed the centre console and steering wheeel, fitted a new modified one to take 5 gauges and new momo steering wheel.

car looks amazing mate much better without angel eyes, really like the colour too

[webster444]

nice car mate, luvin the blue rocker cover etc. any idea how much horses ur gettin out of it?

[seanr28]

at the minute, probably around 260 ish

Still running low boost as its still being run in, bottom end was built with 450 in mind, byt that wont be acheived until I change the turbo and manifold. with current set-up it should give around 320 when its set-up correctly.

I got to say i think the angel eyes looked alot better.
