oh hai, this was meant to be unveiled at Coombe, but we ran out of time, so to save all the questions of ‘wheres the astra Will’ this is where it is....at wills farm, with a mostly complete supercharger installation...
been chatting with will for a while about giving the astra more power and amazingly he went along with my idea! so, Will found a 'charger on Ebay and we set too, first thought were to put it here…V8 air filter not included!!
then decided after being given a charge cooler for free, it would work better here…
i'll let the pics do the talking, but basically it was just a case of fabbing some mounts, sorting the belt run and playing with the head slightly, and then fitting a DTA S40 ecu to control it all, the charge cooler uses a Mk3 astra heater matrix for a rad and a Bosch pump, and i fitted an oil cooler too, both fitting neatly in the new gsi bumper holes…also went for a longer gear set and a paddle clutch on a lighter flywheel oh and Zlet injectors to cope with the fuelling
as i said, first mapping session didn't go too well, but when its the first time you fire the car up you cant expect much else! but having driven it today i hope we've sussed all the problems so its just back to Track n Road for a map, bit of paint and we are done, needs to be ready for the may trip to germany obviously…sounds great though when it makes some boost…
please excuse the dodgy rusty inlet pipe, loooong story....it started as a budget project but did spiral slightly, but only really with the ECU purchases etc, now it will be interesting to see what we can squeeze out of it, expecting to see just under bar of boost with the current pullies, so should be interesting….cats out the bag now! lmao :beer:
