nice, any vid clips of it driving would like to hear what it sounds like , was it hard to/expensive to do ? wouldnt mind doing sumthing liek that to my hgt

thats hard on the eyes nice and subtle

Fair play and well done must have been alot of head scratching on the way. Just wondering, how did you map the ecu? are you running a live map? dastek or did you have to go balls out for a motec or similiar? What did you do to the internals? and what boost are you running... well done again though

do you notice the power gains?

Whilst the external colour scheme is not to my liking, I have to say this is a very impressive piece of work

Would love to see that in person.

Would be great to have that on the BOO stands this year.

I would encourage you to join BOO for the measly sum of £5 a year which will get you on to the stands at shows like Donny, Auto Italia and the like.

See HERE for further details.

And great to see a fellow Weekend owner and a heavily modified one too !

Vid of it driving as requested, a bit boaring till the end

ok, so far the car has not been maped, but the dastek is waiting to be fitted, the only problem is at full throttle its like a diesel (overfueling and lots of black smoke)
its been on the rollers and did 184bhp, as an aside i ran the car with the boost pipe disconected and it was 123bhp so 23bhp loss so i supose that means the charger is using 23bhp to run itself, if that makes sense.

my god its hideous lol. fair play with all that work tho. was that your wheels scraping at the end of the vid?

any mods carried out to the internals? so is that charger running on standard ecu then? by sounds of it you have experience with this charger and others previuosly? was it a biatch of a job to get this far?

Ade

No mods to the internals, just sensible driving,
Pease of piss to fit just a bit of angle iron and a lot of samco, it is runing on the standard ecu, but i have a dastek unichip ready to go on, complete with nitrous controle and launch controle

looks like you spent a bit of time there. i hope it dont go bang. i would get the dastek on and setup pretty sharpish. i would be surprised if it was under fueling on full clat unless you have changed the injectors and fpr!

still think a turbo lump is a safer bet and you dont get a headache from the belt noise

I'm using a vectra v6 maf so the problem i have is overfueling, i'm more concerned about bore wash

The car has done about 4000 miles so far, as an aside it also has 75shot nitrous, all ok

try some 20vt injectors mate on a hgt MAF? might help it but i suppose its trial and error eah lol you have mail on FF anyways pal


LIVE FAST DIE YOUNG

hgt maf underfuels, don't need turbo injectors the standard ones are more than up to the job

so all you have done to get this straight...

1 supercharger
1 intercooler
all pipework
1 cav v6 maf

and thats it?? bloody ell.. can i do this on my bravo 115????

or can you go into bit more detail?? sorry for dumb question..would be very interested in what it has cost you in total so far and all problems encountered so far?

Yep thats about it, total cost about £400, but it really does need a piggy back chip of some sort, i'm waiting to have my unichip fitted, the problem i have is the bloke whoes doing it for me is doing it as a favour, so i cant push him, I'll put some picks up of the fitting in a min

This is it as of today

very nice...which supercharger you gone for? also which intercooler any other problems when it came to fitting? got aircon so could i replace that with compressor? i also see you from ~Shrewsbury area...Telford lad here who do you know locally that specialises in setting up these things? i know severn valley but they bit costly?

thanks

eaton m42 charger, yes take the aircon pump off and use the belt to drive the charger

although the body mods arent necessarily to my liking (more the colour scheme actually) i have to say the engine has tickled my fancy quite alot! and all so cheap aswell... anyone know of any bargin HGT's about? lol

Andy_sx

Just one for the lads

They're proper dogs mate lol

Chris

ROFL! @chris

im not sure whats uglier

BIT harsh there lads,on both counts,i like the look of your car Colin in black in the above pics the arches look better in black as does the hole car.

A proper spray in black and put the fogs back in,and it would transform the car,just my taste though each to there own and all that.

Top marks on the rest of the work though,but the winning of that belt would get to after a while i think? then again could always just floor it to take my mind away from it Hee he.


Cheers Scotty

"BIT harsh". You might as well had said his car looks rubbish too saying what you'd change! A paint job, is a big job!

Chris

LIVE FAST DIE YOUNG

I have upgraded the sound system, but that's it.
