Just to say Hi,
I'm Jamie drive a 04 Zafira Gsi as of next Saturday. Also have a Mondeo ST24, normally into my Fords been through the Turbo and Cosworth Phases, now looking forward to the new Bus!!
Any help and tips on tuning and styling welcome.
Jamie
well i prefer the subtleness of the GSI hence its lowered and has a few pimped mods here and there.
he he
welcome to MIG
so far i have fitted engine wise:-
pre cat pipe (very recomended)
sports cat
powerflow exhaust (supposed to be a performance item)
induction kit (draws in hot air but sounds ok, needs cool air TBH)
VXR turbo
uprated actuator
allusport 600x60x165 universal bumper mount intercooler
4x tip irridium spark plugs
stainless induction pipe
after the above it killed the standard clutch in 7 weeks so had a courtenaysport lighter flywheel and sports clutch fitted. now running 263bhp/275ftlbs.

Where'd you get it and how much?
Been looking at the courtney stage one tune 245hp for £465. Is it worth it and does it increase the fuel comsuption even more???
Have you the rear parking sensors?
I got the original sales brouchre with it aswell so been looking at all the options i haven't got, well apart from Climate control.
Cheers, first Vauxhall i've owned, so moved over from passionford just getting to grips with the site.welcome
the grills can be found on ebay mate, i payed £20 for mine (the only badge that fits the hole is the meriva boot badge)Wow, thats a serious bit of kit, i like. The OPC grill looks cool better than the imms.....

TBH a cs1 is a good tweek for the bus (i recomend the pre cat replacement with the cs1) its a very mild tweek with the cars mapping and yes it will make a little difference with fuel consumption but it think u'll find it worth while especially after your first drive in it
the only thing is typical of power gains.... the more you have.... the more you want
I think it is a good tweek and a fair price as well.
Unfortunatly i know only too well about how tuning takes hold, the R5 GTT was running 14.8secs at the pod and the Cossie was 266bhp typical stage 1, was thinking about stage 3 but the cost of a re-build put me off.
A good friend has a Black R34 Skyline V-spec which he has spent a small fortune with Abbey Motorsport. Still he does have 850bhp to play with!! He never seems to have it though as it's always at Abbey's!! I'm geting to old for all that now and with the family in-tow i decided for the Zaffy GSi. Not really heard anything bad about them seem to get good write-ups.
i've been lucky with mine, over the past year it has only trashed 2x driveshafts (i know there is a 300bhp one on one of the sites) and AFAIK it has been like clockwork. and being totally fair the last one that exploded was 2nd hand
my bus did a 15.1 last year at the pod, not bad considering how heavy they are.
15.1 wow not bad at all, take it wasn't 7 up as well!!
Can't wait to take del of my one will be putting some miles on it i think! lmao
cs1 Is rumored to give better mpg

Also after talking to Bletch it WILL remove the flatspot between 4-5krpm! Annoying!

nah, i'm more sensible than that....15.1 wow not bad at all, take it wasn't 7 up as well!!
Can't wait to take del of my one will be putting some miles on it i think! lmao
when u getting the bus delivered?
CS1 = more power & better mpg!!!! Will have to look into that!!
I'm picking her up on Saturday.
Will have to fight the temptation to add an induction kit for the wastegate flutter, is thats still possible with the GSi??
when you actually consider its a people carrier and not a hot hatch, u'll find the fun you can have in a bus is amazing, and that people think they'll waste you from the lights then struggle when they change. lmao
i didnt find any real change in economy when i had CS2 done (appart from the fact i was booting it eveywhere)
spanishfly has fitted a 1x way valve in his car (i'm not sure how he done it or the part he used) but its got major waste gate chatter
22psi!! is that on the VXR turbo!! I would have never thought you could turn it up that much! I was running 16-17psi on the Cossy, 22psi must be great fun!!
I've read you can't fit an in-car bleed value (not that i would want to as we all know they are turbo killers) like the one i had on the GTTurbo, i that it thats because of the Zaffy's ECU? So would be interested to know what this one way valve is??
Would be interested to see what bhp i have standard, do you lot get to Engine Advantages past chemlsford on the A12?? Haven't been to a Rolling road since did a Performance Ford day there years ago!!
22psi is over boost, it holds around 16-17psi.
one user recently had a switchable system fitted to his astra 220bhp for normal driving, then sports mode gives it 280
if you wana see what ur bus will be putting out:- R/R in the eastern region!
join up
Is it defo the April 29th?? I'm at a Stag weekend at Butlins!!!!!!
DOH!but i can see the reason why its more important to attend the stag weekender
Any excuse for a lads weekend away.
maybe there will be others toward the end of the year in neighboring regions.
I got a one way valve washer jet from halfords lmao Used it for my dump valve. If ya want help I can show ya. Beauty of it is, I can take it of to put std re-circ back working!
