Coupe Plans

Well as you can see by my car i like making it different. Ive nearly finished with the exterior till i find something else to buy but ive had a word with my mate.

He has told me i can get my car as fast if not faster than a Astra VXR so im sticking a Turbo to it .

Oh and before you ask how does my mate know hes got a 600bhp tigra which hes making 900bhp lol so ive got abit of help.

So if anyone has any advise,help,hints or tips about turboing it let me know as im struggling abit.

But yeh there my future plans hope you all like

sounds good mate would love to see it as the turbo version of your car is rapid lol

my advise is work out what your doing before you start and buy the best you can afford and always over compensate so no part of it is under stain or at the limits of performance

dont worry i will pal its ok because ive got a spare coupe to do the turbo conversion on then transplant it to my coupe

aaahh didnt see this bit lol

so what power you aiming for? if you have a good idea were you want ti be then atomising a setup will be easyier for example matching the turbo for the setup and choosing the right parts

VXR Astra territory so around 250 mark

good place to start, did your mate tell you whether or not youd have to drop the C/R or not? its possible with the right management and turbo etc to get 50-60bhp or more on a turbo conversion without dropping the C/R depending on how high it is as stock, running upto 7-8psi on the right turbo may give you 220bhp at a guess youd have to drop drop the c/r and run 15 plus psi on something like the turbo from the VXR. have a good chat about it with your mate and see what he thinks

What you mean c/r??

sorry (compression ratio) its very important when going to a turbo setup to get the c/r right for so many reasons

Jason

ill ask him tomorrow and see what he says
