My Astra SRI Z20LEL 240BHP
Permalink  

Well this is my wee baby and I feel very lucky to have her, not many people have this model as they stopped production in 2006. Its a 2.0ltr Turbo 170bhp (now 240bhp wink) before they replaced it with a 1.6ltr hyper turbo version lol

3537541044a8770016348l.jpg

3537541044a8442186243l.jpg

3537541044a8770016380l.jpg

3537541044a8770016419l.jpg

So far the only work thats been done to this motor is in the heart of the car my target is to get her to 330bhp and close to 400 ft lbs torque... one day lol.

Parts wish list:

Cool running thermostat

Sports cat and Exhaust system

Koni Sports Springs 40mm all round

Lexmaul bodykit
Lexmaul Quattro backbox oval style
VXR Astra 19" alloys
345mm 6 grooved discs
AP Racing 4 pot callipers in blue

Large front mounted intercooler
Upgraded inlet cam
Dbilas equal length cast turbo Manifold
Dbilas GT28 Turbo

In that order. Well thanks for looking I hope you like her as much as I do biggrin.

So far the only work that has been done is a panel filter, plugs, Pre de-cat and stage one remap. Also use Tesco 99 and castrol edge to help the engine under heavy loads.

Proboost it £4 a bottle and it give's you 20 points so that on top of the 95 which is 115 and that works out alot cheaper than a full tank of the classly stuff

That turbo won't fit you're car the Z14XEP Turbo system is for the 1.4 you need a Z18XE model, phone regal to see if they can get you one but for the price they are like I said before you would be better of getting the VXR lump
