[astragsi]

make sure you get some good video's from the next event, great times for only 1 bar, what kind of power level is it at 1 bar??

Hey Wicked van. Geat project keep it up. Nice to hear that there is a person tuning a c20let in Malta. Few people tune vauxhalls in malta with this type of engine, keep it up

[wkd astra van]

another good time from the van last weekend,10.9 sec 1/4 mile 1.7 60ft and 130 mph with only 24 psi boost.i m very happy with my let

[DaveB]

Damn, that's quicker than specky

[wkd astra van]

i build and mapped the engine myself and was built for low 10`s without nos,now i m only ruuning 24 psi and my wish is to run 38 psi boost.next event is this weekend and i m hoping for 10`5s with et street legal mt tyres

[DaveB]

what tyres were you running on the 10.9 run?

[wkd astra van]

mh drag slicks mate,yesterday i ran 10.9 again on mt et street legal tyres now hoping to go down in the 10`s or high 9`s in next year events

[corsakid]

why cant us brit boys get into the 10's let alone the 9's

i suppose it doesnt help haveing the climate that we have every other day is ****ing wet , well it is in wales anyways

good times though mate

[wkd astra van]

thanks to everyone there ,the important thing in fwd cars is that you need to settle a lot of adjustments that at least you have to make 1.7 60ft,for next year we are trying to go for 1.6 but its not easy on a fwd car

[wildboy]

nice times there fella.
how are you getting the 60ft times like that i can only manage 2.1s. you any tips on getting it off the line my terminal speeds are good just need it to hook up.

[Adam]

what turbo u using now cheif? spec would be nice

hybrid t34 turbo and phase 3 chips and was running 389 bhp and made 12.7 in 1/4 mile......what else were u running to make that 1/4 and bhp? And was the t34 .48 or .63 housing?

good times

[Rs1]

1.7 to 60ft
Those must be some big ass tyres dude

More info required please

[Andy_L]

If it's a lot warmer will it make a big difference in the grip the tyres produce??

[astragsi]

he will be using slicks, im sure they will be quite wide as well

[wkd astra van]

26x10x15 slicks and alot of chassis work to the van to reduce tyre shack etc,another good thing is to run solid engine mounts and rose joints instead of ball joints so everything will be solid.another thing is that the engine have to be moved foward as much as possibble,and the wheather doesn`t make any difference,a good burnout give the slicks the good temp and off we go.i m hoping to go down to 1.6 60ft next year,and my wish is to see the 9`s.i m runni ng gt35 turbo and all the spec to the engine is in this tread.the t34 i had was .48 ratio.now the next items i m gonna make are,
slippery clutch,chrome moly rear axle and front arms,remove power steering,and alot of more weight from the van,and i m looking to have the first 9sec astra van ever existed.if anyone wants to give me his e/mail i will send pics and videos to him and then he can get the pics on this thread cause i don`t have time mates
