    Default Big spec cavalier turbo 4x4

    Ok decided its time to let it go. I have saved it from beeing destroyed and gave it a new lease of life but i feel its time i moved it on

    brief spec

    steel rods
    arp big ends
    acl mains and big end shells
    saab reds
    adjustable fpr
    ported head
    oversized valves
    steel multi layer head gasket
    irmisher top hat
    bailey dumpvalve
    big inter cooler
    To4e turbo
    tubular manifold
    external waste gate (plumbed back in the exhaust)
    custom oil feeds
    mocal oil cooler
    AP clutch
    silicone hoses
    modified rotor arm
    custom emulated software with no boost limits and closed loop self learning
    modified viscous
    full working 4x4 as vauxhall intended
    oil volt boost and afr gauges
    no rips in the standard leather
    fully polly bushed
    koni adjustable fronts
    bilystien rears

    thats a brief spec car was taken of the road and rebuilt from top to bottom over winter all gaskets seals belts ect were done while the engine was beeing built the shell is very tidy realy for a cav turbo but the paint isnt perfect. It does have stone chips and the od blister in a few places but generaly not bad at all
    Shell is solid and has no rot.
    it made 269.9bhp on the rollers at pvs with a worn standard turbo that would not hold boost this has sinse been replaced with the to4e and tubular manifold and holds boost perfectly now all the way to 8k. Theoreticly its now well over the 300bhp mark but hasnt been back on the rollers sinse but the power increase sinse the turbo has been changed is massive and is still at low boost(16psi) it is set up to hold 22psi so should see well over 340bhp.

    has also just had the 3 way water hose on the back of the block changed as this was leaking and just had a full service before pvs plugs oil filters ect

    i could go on forever about the car but if you are seriously interested i would rather you rang me for full details and spec as there realy is so much to the car

    call me on 07812659465 ask for steve

    The turbo manifold waste gate ect and fitting has just cost nearly a grand on its own to do and has only covered 200 miles sinse fitting (hence i havent turned the boost back up yet)

    im looking in the region of £3450 but open to offers and would listen to px deals aswell
    It realy is one of the better ones thats left that is for sure and in my opinion you will not be dissapointed.

    yes the 4x4 is fully working and cost a fortune to get working and right including a fully refurbed transfer box and modified viscous

    the fuse was pulled for the roller to switch it to 2wd as stated

    its tested untill september 2011 and was taxed for 6 months at the start of june
