supercharged 2.2

The Courtenay kit is a modified version of the USA kit. Also, Courtenay moves the ECU next to the ABS unit, and the battery to the boot.

both would be a pain in terms of wiring

would matt/wayne be able to do anything with regards to this ecu issue you reckon?

[daaaaavek]

I doubt it .. it would require a live re-mapping on a dyno

Wiring up an ECU is a piece of piss (well for me it would be)

with 5990 pounds you could buy almost any 8 year old v8 car in england....v8!!!

(If anyone says an astra turbo has lag then there is one of two things: the person clearly has never driven one, or the astra has some serious issues. Ask any jap turbo driver where they hit full boost, normally around 3k, but the astra is on full wail by 1900rpm!)

*cough* Auto Astra Turbo Diesel *cough*

Infact both Astra Turbo diesels have turbo lag.

Now what do I win

so you reckon you can solve the issue then?

Capa do kits for honda's and the like, even excel's. I asked them about a kit for a astra and they quoted me 10g as it would be a custom job. They do em for a POS excell why not an astra ?

The best by far is Catch Me, they quoted me 4.5k for a custom turbo job, they even went on to say theyve done a couple. ( Im guessing its a sales pitch )

Some of these links may not work, they were pulled of an old web site, but the phone numbers sure do

Force Inducting a Z22SE (2.2) or even a X18 1.8 is a P.I.T.A.
Me & Mr Corsa have been in Contact for years, Its slightly easier to do a 1.8, Even Tony will tell you its a Prick.
They're drive by wire, You have to use a Specified DBW/FBW ECU.
Re-mapping the Standard ECU won't work, The ECU won't reconise the Turbo/Supercharger making it 'Limp Mode'. Then you have to add New Sensors. Try using Windows Vista with a Commodore 64
You have to use a FBW Compliant ECU, They aint cheap.
My MoTec M800 cost me $7000 in 2004.
I've been done this track & It cost me alot, No one wants to know about a Forced Inducted Astra or Corsa. Anyone that CLAIMS to have done it & Got Huge Power & CLAIMS its a piece of Piss is a ****ing Lair.
The bloke who worked on mine claimed he could do it gave up.

So Moral to the Story, Buy a SRi-T or VXR. Or Even better a STi or Evo.
