Do you have enough power?

[Vectracious]

Ummmmmmmmm......1200 Nm? ... something is wrong ...or very right

It's at the dyno rollers not the flywheel, I forget what you need to do to convert it....

Or very fake

Actually the 888 Astra CDTi is little more than a brake/suspension + wheel package + ecu remap and it keeps up with the VXR...evidence that the engine has what it takes.

true..but if you do all that to an SriT, it would probably leave the diesel miles behind. Top speed in a petrol is always better than a diesel as it can have higher revs.

I agree diesels are pretty cool and I love the huge torque...

ps: the sriT can pull from 60-100 in 6th gear pretty quickly.

Hang on...the VXR/OPC/HSV Astra *is* an SRi with 'all that' done - bigger turbo, remap etc....

The 888 is just a remap in the engine department.

digifish.

if you limit your modding budget to say $1,000, I can't see a petrol turbo being able to compete with the CDTi.
the SRi T is not too bad off the line, but when you start rolling at speeds over 80 km/h in the diesel faster.

i would have to disagree....

ecu re-flash $400
Pre-cat replacment $350
Pod Filter $150

and change left over...

cant see the same mods going onto a CDTi with the same results.

[blueraven]

I doubt that..the sriT would kill a CDTi any day....

YOu have no idea how wrong you are I agree that stock vs stock the cdti is the faster car on the road in a straight line, wont comment about handling, but i have seen how quick martins cdti is, and the gap between my cars performance and his stock car on the freeway is not as big as i had thought. i mean hell, all it takes for him to get 400nm of torque is a greenbox, look at all the shit i have done and 422nm.

[oneightoo]

B4.. that's the one with a power/torque curve that looks like a roller coaster with a nice big dip in the midrange

meh, thats easily fixed..

if the cdti was a faster car...it would sell for more than the sriT....
400nm would also tear his gear box quicker...

you wanna know why the diesel is cheaper? 16" alloys, no leather and no climate control. and lesser stereo i think. all things equal i doubt the diesel would fetch less than a SRi Turbo.

USC its like anything. After awhile you become used to it and it feels slow. when you modd it it will feel quick for a while then you will be come used to it again and be thinking the same thing.
