(EOI) C20SEL/C22SEL tuning

[nuggz]

Old thread, I know so apologies for ressurecting, but ive been looking for a remap Matt.. Do you still do them?

Hey mate
If matt doesn't get back into it

The motor has been off the map for almost a decade now
in terms of gaining performance, you'd be best off looking at mechanical mods then a piggy back or standalone ECU

which unfortunately all means big $$$ for very little gains unfortunately . but also, if you were goin that far, for a little extra (although i think your on your p's right?) a turbo will add into that equation nicely. stock astra turbo, low boost will run ok on the stock internals n give a nice extra kick.

Yeah, I kinda figured there wouldnt be much interest intuning the 4 cyl vectras here in aus. And yeah, I am still on my p's, but when I get my opens I was wanting to do a turbo conversion.. Oh well, ill just have to suffer for now, lol

Edit: Mechanical mods are impossible to come by for me.. I have looked everywhere and the only conclusiin I have come to is to have my cams reprofiled, or custom parts made like extractors. Its annoying not being able to find performance mods for the C22.. Grr

cams from the x20xev should fit
and you can buy extractors, hi-tech and hurricane make them (Poita has some he would sell you)

no point with the cams, would be a step backwards.
the c22sel are the better ones for tuners of the 2L's and turbo boys, its just easier to get the x20xev ones...

EDIT: tho in saying all that, theres still more stuff you can do to yours susp wise which i reckon is far more worth it.

ive started a parts collection to turbo mine, and its not a cheap exercise, spent 3500 ish atm, and still got about 3000 worth left to buy...

[benzino]

if I had 10k to drop on my engine i would go (n/a):
cams
quad TBs
high comp pistons
quaife lsd
ex and in port matching
2.5" exhaust with a long primary header
and stand-alone engine management

but then, spend 10k on a turbo setup and you would be double or triple the power

also shay, could you translate "the c22sel are the better ones for tuners of the 2L's and turbo boys, its just easier to get the x20xev ones..."
hahaha
are you talking about cams?

anyway, you can drool over this: qedmotorsport.co.uk/the-engines/vauxhall-ecotec-x20xev/

im pretty sure hes talking about cams


and i dont see no mention of a $10k budget.......

[benzino]

i'm just saying that's about the median price of a quality high performance street set-up

also, so he's saying that the c22sel cams are the best you can get? and are even better than aftermarket QED x20xev cams?

[poita]

no, better than the standard cams in an x20

[benzino]

I think the confusion stems from what I originally said
I meant that cams are available that fit the x20xev and will fit the c22sel

not THE cams from an x20xev

my bad
