2 videos from a street race between my Astra and a punto Gt bored to 1.9cc,with NOS,at 400ps.
At this race my car was about 480ps.
The race is 0-800m and the rev limit at 8.000 rpm.

Re: Astra Gsi Turbo 740ps

Very nice,it's a "monster" your Astra,do you want more hp?
Do you don't have any problem with such a huge power for FWD?The gearbox and the clutch can support this power?Keep with good work

Ofcourse we have problems.The gearbox,not so many,because we do rolling street racing from 3rd gear.
But i have many problems with the clutch.We've made a custom,single disk,which handled until some races.
Now we are looking for AP 2disk,or Sachs for 90kgm.
The problem is that i dont want to visit the dyno again in the summer,because we have high temperatures and it's not right to map under theese situations.
I have to map it again because we replaced the 900cc Siemens injectors,with Bosch 1.600cc.At high boost the duty cycle reached the 97-98%.

Wow, that's amazing.

Have you got any photos from when you built it? That's a crazy amount of power!
