Hmm, I'm guessing the mods won't remain sensible for long. Do a full turbo rep inc wheels and 5 stud, and leave it at that imo.

You could of just undone the cap bolt with some pliers? Lol

And yeah the front of a cav/mk3 astra is a fcuking nightmare to do, i cant even find anywhere that sells a spanner deep enough to undo the top nut lol

[Spudly]

You done your fuel and boost already baxter, have you used a frontmount yet?


Btw got my old GSi grill here if you wants it?

[stevie-p]

+1! Proper fecking mare I had with that bastid black Astra!

[Adam]

I have a deep reach 19mm neck spanner and it doesnt even reach inside the topmount to get near to the piston nut!!!
And thats the easy part, the hard bit is undoing the track rod end, bottom balljoint,hub nut, ripping the brakes off etc.
Whereas nova= 2bolts lol

[Spudly]

Mine runs two fans aswell, one inboard of the rad as per usual and one outboard of it too, which also has the mount shape for another fan next to it, three cooling fans anyone?

[Sloth]

td's have 2 as std, and 3 on a/c models. apparenly early tds had 1 and overheated.....

[General Baxter]

im going to wire the front one to be perm on lol

So what boost guage and bleed valve you running anyways, and where did you score them?

[General Baxter]

Whats going on, its not doing epic speeds lol

i caused a traffic jam to take the photo. it clocked over and i just stopped in the main street lol

i have a gauge that reads boost and a valve that bleeds pressure lol

[Adam]

Engines just run in then.

Spud, just get a 15quid controller and the cheapest boost gauge you can find.....

[Spudly]

I can actually beleive that tbh baxter, i remember the slip road from PV lol


Anyways you didnt answer my question bud:cry:

[General Baxter]

im thinking of comming to you to do the tune, i really dont want a ****ed cav sitting on the drive lol

[Spudly]

im thinking of comming to you to do the tune, i really dont want a ****ed cav sitting on the drive lol



Works for me, wont cost as much then.......

Soooo, guage and bleed valve..?

[General Baxter]

bottom right corner little brass thingyhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/simon173/ST%20mods/Turboconversion025.jpg

[General Baxter]

[General Baxter]

engines fine, just need to sort the valve out,
these engines will take over 60psi,
what the **** would i stick an unreliable saab engine in it lol

[olienova1]

hes gonna face rape you for that...... /\

indeed i am, there no point having a larger turbo, to have it boost up at 3500rpm and run out of puff at 4500rpm lol

[dj_wudgey]

who wants a gay petrol turbo

me and everyone else who likes going fast and looking/sounding good diesel's cannot do both!!

[General Baxter]

me and everyone else who likes going fast and looking/sounding good diesel's cannot do both!!

at 1500rpm, you would not even tell its a diesel lol

[dj_wudgey]

at 1500rpm, you would not even tell its a diesel lol

lol after then you will though!! im just set in my was me i dont like them beacause they sound sh*t and are heavier than petrol engines!

what you doing to it mate like you did with the other diesel lump you built?

[Andy_L]

1.8 Block?? I'm confuddled please explain

[burgo]

1.8 Block?? I'm confuddled please explain.5 over size pistons

and to be fair once you've put a better exhaust on and 20 psi through it then i think mine sounded like a 6pot with a massive turbo

[Andy_L]

.5 over size pistons

and to be fair once you've put a better exhaust on and 20 psi through it then i think mine sounded like a 6pot with a massive turbo

Cheers Burgo :thumb:

[Spudly]

Wudgey to be fair youd be surprised how good weasels can sound, ive seen and heard brettski's stunning cav TD and it sounds wicked with a big system on it:thumb:


Ill aim this question to Adam and Burgo, what boost will be safe/sensible to be running on mine as im ordering my guage and bleed valve tonight and just thought, i dont actually know what to up it to, if i ask baxter he will be trying to convince me that 60psi will be fine lol

[craig green]

well i nuked a 1.8 16v vectra on the way to wales sat lol



That not hard to do. :d

[burgo]

20psi is fine. thats what my brother runs and has been for about 6 months on his daily driver

[Spudly]

Cool cheers luke:thumb:

[Adam]

I run 19/20psi and have done for a while.
Sometimes see's 21psi if held in 4th/5th too. Just watch the coolant temps

I think the excess fuel in mine may be starting to clog the cat though, because after a long thrash the other night i noticed the centre console/gearstick etc etc was mega warm... As in you could feel the heat rising from the gearshifter hole from the exhaust/cat lol lol
I got out and noticed the cat was glowing :d lol lol

[Spudly]

Yeah ive noticed if you give them death for any length of time they get excessively hot, ive had mine at nearly three quarters the first time i nailed it properly, runs at quarter mormally lol


Sounds like you were well and truly raping it then Adam, im hoping to have mine boosting more by next week, cant beleive ive not done it before now i know how easy it is:roll:

[Adam]

Yup,21psi from its tiny turbo isnt going be good for coolant temps lol
Mine sees 100deg on the gauge quite often, drops like a stone once you sit off boost for about half a mile though.

[Spudly]

Methinks it might be an idea to look into a bigger rad then lol


Either that or just dont give it death all the time haha!

[burgo]

i set fire to my centre box after going for a thrash so a glowing cat isn't that suprising

[Adam]

The rad's are massive in them!!

I think the reason it happens is the oil filter/cooler thing is round the back of the engine and i THINK it gets cooled with coolant, hence turbo heat=oil heat=big coolant temps....

Dont quote me on that tho, might be talking bollox

[Spudly]

i set fire to my centre box after going for a thrash so a glowing cat isn't that suprising



Farking hell you mad bugger, i bet you just laughed and watched it aswell knowing you lol

Just drive faster put the flames out.......

What boost you running Baxter?

[General Baxter]

What boost you running Baxter?
iv backed it down to 18, the engines getting old lol

alltho i just went for a blast and could not even get close to the wheels and the back of the exhaust, hot hot lol

[amggsi]

Yeah ive noticed if you give them death for any length of time they get excessively hot,


When I'd my old 306 D turbo running at 30 psi (yes you read that right - it used to blow a turbo about once a week!!!lol ) it would have put a fireworks display out the exhaust when giving it the shoe!! All that soot coming out of it was glowing red!lol
I don't think it done the car any good!

[General Baxter]

Ive seen that one too, its got a GSi front bumper on it, which looks very gay on a hatch but its tidy looking, drove past him coming back from dalby a few weeks ago and he was staring at mine as i was staring at his lol

[Mazz]

what you mean mazz ?
Don't the rear hubs just bolt straight on your existing axle? Won't Vectra ones fit as i had a suspect ABS sensor and i got Veccy one and it was a direct swop...
