astra gt35r

[chip]

Mark Shead is a friend of mine, I was at the dyno yesterday with him in fact, you are in VERY good hands with him

[kontraman]

With theese cams and this turbo revs easy at 9000 rpm.
I would prefer cams at 260-270.

Hi,

do you know where is possible to buy diff bearings for f28 or f20 4x4??

in france at opel it is not possible....

i asked here and no answer http://www.cav16.co.uk/pricesf28.htm

do you have link or adress please?

[philip2]

think if you do a search for: pitstoppete


he will know where to get the bearings your after or should do.


good to see you havent gone huge on the exhaust ports. thought may of been close inlet size to breaking through into water/oil ways

Nice project. Where did you get the fibreglass body panels? Loving the inlet manifold. Should be a tarmac beast when built!!

[remy16t]

thank you.

I have buy all parts in fibreglass in France here : http://www.mcracingsa.com/OPELASTRA%20GSI.htm

[InsaneSwede]

Cool project..

you will gain huge amount of power my friend

[InsaneSwede]

Honestly guys..
a well tuned engine should have same register,turbo or non turbo.
of course it´s easy to leave camadjustments and get a very revhappy engine.
(but i should take it easy above 8300-8500rpm with std oilpump.)

If you let it take some time in dyno to adjustcamshafts you can gain HUGE amount of torque even with those camshafts.
mine 272´s has almost as much liftarea as your camshafts.
(how long the valves stays at full lift under duration)
if i run my camshafts in for example DesktopDyno2000 they should rev a the way to 10300rpm... but they do not.


my engine has peak power just before 7800rpm.. around 7400 actually.

[remy16t]

Thank you very much.

I think now the most important with this cam is a very good engine management.

[remy16t]

we have start to prepar car for weld

[SteveM]

Awesome project mate

[16vastraturbo]

mint project you have there, never seen any body put fiberglass parts on a mk3 astra before will be interesting to see it when finished.

[remy16t]

thank you very much guys.

[avantrax]

What a wonderfull project!!!!!!

il sera très rapide!


I have some curisosity about some special parts...

why you choice the X20XER cranck? It is stronger?

The bottom griddle is standard or customized?

The Engine mount kit is for F28, correct? Where you buy it? It is standard or special?


Where do you fit the oil spray cooling jet? And where you buy these?

Thanks, Luca

[remy16t]

Great luca you speak a little bit french my friend

so i have buy oil spray colling jet at vauxhall (opel) that comes to isuzu 1.7 (x17xe) Autovaux sell them

x20xer crank is stronger yes!!



engine mount kit is for c20xe so for f20 and not for f28 it is necessarly to modify for install f20 but that is very easy.

Merci beaucoup pour ton aide! ;-)
(sometimes i went in France for business: very close to the Pyrenees...wonderfull place)

Do you have a picture about where you fit the oil spray colling jet, please?
It is very interesting

You fit the original lower chassis of the astra, correct?
I'm thinking about to fit the lower chassis of the calibra turbo that has the space for the F28 mount: what do you think about?

Ciao !

[remy16t]

hi luca

yes you have space but engine mount kit is for f20
