with that hp you want shay, I think you would have to do some internals within the engine. Remember S/C is always on and never stops until engine is off, which means alot less km's per tank. T/C are easier to install and prob have more power at the end of the day. I think you need to do some further research into which S/C will fit for your engine, I dont think alot of ppl do S/C's for opels.
Good idea though, however how long do you intend to keep this car for? think of the money you need to invest for it and in like 5 years, how much will it be worth?

*Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of your car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of your car.
*Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.
the 1j would be a second car, not a replacement. so 6k mods to mine v 6k 1jOriginally Posted by daiflu
power/weight i would prob have the advantage.
it is true this prob will never get off the paper, but ive been doin heaps oof lookin around on this forum and other opel/vauxhall ones and there is pretty much no advice on what you need or need to do.
so even if this doesnt get anywhere could be helpful for others.
supercharger is new. just made for MR2's.
There was a time where I was considering doing something similar to this with my Vec, but eventually my unfortunately large common sense machine caught up with me and hence why I've decided I'll just upgrade to something else (as said elsewhere probs a BMW |6 (or perhaps V8) of similar age).
But, that being said, to do that would be one hell of a build and you'd get a (pretty awesome) car that would be probably 1 of a kind in Australia (take that to be good or bad). In the end I guess the old saying of "It's your car" is really what matters here and hey you've always got us to tell you in 20 different ways when 'ur doin' it wrong.
W/regard to technicalities, I'd probably say that if you're gonna do it then yeah add on the extra hundreds and get a manual box and perhaps add a Quaife.

thats what my mate is saying to, that i should look at a manual conversion before any other performance mods.
would really like to see the outcome of Daaaavek's supercharged z22 that he is gettin ready. but ive a feeling its a fair way away.
if its anything like the cost for a calibra manual conversion.... i wouldnt look into it unless u want a heart attack
ive decided that if i am to go a manual conversion... im gunna buy a manual calibra, and swap all my current stuff over to it
much cheaper
Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
i was looking at repairable write-offs, then swap the box and wreck the rest.

or else find a gear and pedal box in a wrecker.
just did the sums, need 40kw atf to have the same power/weight as a stock 1j
you got to remember the 1j has stronger internals in it already, if your wanting to run boost you will need new pistons and the such, yours will melt.. crank a 1jz's boost up it will still handle it and 40kw will become something more like 80kw.. which is a hell of a lot! 40kw is still alot its about a nissan micra worth... IMO IF your going to spend this kind of money on a S/C your better off doing an engine conversion to the V6 Vectra Engine and then work with that after youve saved some more money up again..
the amount of boost you will achieve in your vec b will be like 6-8psi psi safely which will only prob give you 20kw? but set you back thousands.. not to mention your gearbox being so old will hold it back again.
you shouldnt need a piggy back ecu, a flash/remap should suffice, you only use the piggybacks when there was no OBD ports to remap, the chip used to overlap your existing ECU and be soldered on to it, not 100% sure with vec B's but fairly sure you have an OBD
have an OBD but dont think you can control AFR through it
you should be able to id imagine... cause your AFR will be sent to your ECU, which when you plug up to the OBD it to the ECU so should i think..
that made no sence sorry...
i mean your AFR reading will be sent to you ECU, therefor when you tune from the OBD it is a dirrect connection to the ECU so you should be able to do AFR values with it.. id imagine
