pineapple turbo

Car looks very tidy mate, was impressed with it when i had a look round it at trax this year.

Take it that was Mr phelps who did the engine conversion for you?
 
mmmmm nice car!!!

turbo hose keeps coming off so it was time to make some more hose... its **** when you dont have a ramp and there a splitter in the way so time to rip the astra to bits

hope things get sorted :cool: how much bhp and torque is the car running at the mo, and when i can raise the funs for my LET conversion what do you think the bhp would be etc?
 
standard c20let engines are 200 bhp mine is running about 260 can do more but 260 is enough it can all day long at that with out any problems... im not sure what bhp the other engine is i told you about but it is mint
 
260 sounds more than enough for me :cool: . what plans have you got for her in the future?
 
not sure really prob a bigger turbo and complete bottom rebuilt... need to get the back seats and door cars retrimed.... but saying that i think ive spent to much now its nice enought

Just know him from been on the vauxhall scene, have a chat with him and Darren at the shows.

He's a very clued up chap, you shouldn't have too much trouble if he's done your conversion.

His cav is one of my all time favorites
 
i wouldn't let anyone else touch my car.... the cav is amazing i tryed following him back from courtenay sport .................. no chance.... its more of a time machine ha ha
 
i would love to keep it forever and we'll deff keep it for a few years but everything has a price............
 
if im unable to raise funds for the conversion (depends on what the bank says)lol . then would the guy who does the conversions etc be able to have a look at my car anyway? im havng some realy weird running problems,its hard to describe but iv had these ever since i bought the car and its a mystery to me what it could be. you will know what mean if you have a test drive.:sad:
