it a 2.1 or a 2.2 LET with everything you can imagine beeing done to it, shinee doesnt really do things by halves
as said im almost 100% sure it runs a prototype eds software or managment, and will be very very special
everything u can imagine!Lol very descriptive,
wow 2.1 a whole 0.1 more capcity, thats gonna amek it 400bhp,
nothing prototype about eds phase 4, been about for years on a few cars,
phase 5 has been done on a nova in germany running 12's
not dobting his car is powerfull and quick,
running the motronic system he aint gonna break any 400bhp barriers at all,
autronic,large aftermarket turbo and manifold,steel bottom end, big intercooler etc etc is the only way to break that,
kiv_tuning spec will take some beating,

it a top spec LET, there not going to be many in the county better i would think,
didnt say it would beat KIv-tunning car, i just said it a silly spec, everything you have stated above like the massive turbo, FMIC, bottom end etc etc for it has been done as far as am aware, im sure spankee/fad/lee will know alot more about the spec of the astra

had to swap the AFM and rocker cover but apart from that its perfect!
had another XE before it running QED cams and verniers on the standard ECU, this one feels just as quick  Hoping to get it RRed soon.

well the storys changed a little now,
firstly we were claiming 400bhp from phase 4, now its a totaly custom management and turbo etc,
sounds a good project either way,
someone get some pics up

I'm SO tempted to bang an LSD in it as the box is coming out soon... Hmmmm!
another IMO, but 300mm rears are WAY overkill! And could be counterproductive!

Corb... I dont believe in diffs, but there is a TB'd astra down our way (which can beat me!  ) its mental, about 270bhp, but it just grips and goes. I was in a scoob and from about 10mph the scoob had the same grip as him!

That bay is nice!
The twin engined nova only had 370 (est) per lump. Anything 400 way is amazing.
