Nahh, im ok with the ecotech pipe cheers, i like having that bit more torque and less power.

do you want a powercap?

my peak was up at 7000rpm or so.... Tims was about 4500 or so..... completly diff plots

Vibrio - can you post my plot (i need a copy anyway :lol: )

Mine seems to really pickup in the higher revs though, think its just the engines :D

Not had it on the rollers yet. The induction kit wrks well but im not sure if its being starved a bit of air lower down and it doesn't pickup as quick. Gonna remove the feed to see it makes a difference.

Hoping for 160bhp though.

you had your's on the rollers yet daimo?

I really want to check mine againt other..... i really think i may have had 'fast road' cams in mine :lol:

seems to be alot more oooooommph higher up the revs than std plots

my 5 was bad enough for traction, spun in 1st,2nd,3rd and sometimes into 4th in the dry when ragging it, just no good, unless u gradually get the power down its a waste of time, but i had very little lag and it came on full boost quite quick!
im goin for the redtop conversion, :D

agree there adam, waiting for it 2 come on boost is pants, it might be quicker than my corsa but it dont have the throttle responce

and much less tractable, useable, power

i was offered a full calibra turbo car/engine for 600 pity its no use 2 me :lol:

THe other thing to consider is the mileage on a turbo engine and what state the turbo will be in. HOw do you know it hasnt been ragged to death. If you go the turbo route, make sure you can easily afford it and have money to spare cause if it does go wrong, it wont be cheap to fix.

wot colin says

i was after a cally turbo engine and cheapest i saw was £800

Try to buy an old Astra GTE 16v or something for about 500notes take what you need, then sell, bin the rest:thumbs:

look on migweb loads on there

redtop around £400

turbo around £1000

Does anyone know where i could possibly pick one of these up from?
And what's a good price to be paying for one?

If not a Turbo'd Calibra engine? where from??

Anyone?
