Any pics of where your air filter is located? Seen it just on the inner wing on Corsas, but batt's in the way on a Astra.
What IC is that?
Ive got a fooking massive IC(i.e. the size of the astra radiator), but think it might give problems with lag...
best place for the filter imo is up in the inner arch. boost pipes are easy to make, just buy a length of 2" exhaust pipe and make it from that.
the IC is off a focus i think
where could i find a n/a manifold had a look on ebay but none about? also where do you get the silicone hoses or are they just cut to fit??
Cut to fit basically, use any pipe/tubing to join some silicone pipes together....
NA manifold is off a 1.5NA diesel, corsa/nova
go to the scrappy to get the inlet. theres loads of them about
the N/A intake manifold it's a good choice.

"Mark the start position of the screw, then undo the lock nut (while hold the screw) now turn the screw 90degress (quarter of a turn) clockwise"
See, clockwise...
But just looked at the throttle linkage and turning it clockwise puts more thread out of the bracket, which restricts how far the linkage can travel on the pump.... So it seems a bit ermm, wrong???? Undoing it will let the linkage move further?
easiest way adam is turn it both ways and see which gives you more fuel. cant get a more deffinet answer than that
Hi guys, bought myself a 1.7 N/A Corsa Combo van a little while ago and even with the pump turned up a bit till it smokes like a chimney its epically slow :(
After a quick search on ebay I found a whole Astra3 1.7TD for sale, the guy was new to ebay (only 10 pos. feedback) and had listed the engine for sale with a whole car (to avoid the car listing fees). The listing was very breif and no one bidded so I won it for 99p!!!!
I stripped the car on saturday removing all engine components followed by the engine itself, but I have a few questions.
Q1: The engine is from a 1995 Astra which has an immobiliser. I removed the two parts of the loom (one seems to be for the starter/alternator, but it also goes into the cabin to a small black box and also a little yellow relay and the other seems to be just for things like temp sensor etc...). Considering the pumps are mechanical can I not just use the corsa's N/A loom??
Q2: The engine has been sitting for a few years and the turbo is seized (I suspect this is why the engine had been left), I am going to try an Isuzu Trooper turbo (I have found many people breaking the 3.1TD's on ebay), but if I can't has anyone got a spare turbo in good order??
