glanza

[michael harbour]

picked up my glanza the day. 670mile round trip. what the best and cheapest way for more power?

 

[jamesbaa]

got any pics mate

 

[Idrees]

De-restrict boost in 1st and 2nd gear first.

 

[Adam_Glanza]

im afraid best and cheap dont work together buddy! its cheap and crap or expensive and good

 

[Timmy]

HKS actuator and set it just below fuel cut. Anything more than that and you could make some costly mistake. Also get the suspension changes if it's stock or you'll be in a ditch in no time.

 

[Adam_Glanza]

standard suspension aint that bad, i would consider braking before suspension as the brakes are naff

 

[michael harbour]

no pics yet.it got a filter and full exhaust front mounted intercooler. it just had new actuator fitted its going to my mate work shop 2moz to get a gauge on it and actuator adjusted. dont if any of use no him his company is Andrew gallacher motor sport.

 

[Timmy]

all you need is a fcd and rrfpr and set up to 1bar on a rolling road than.

 

[michael harbour]

it got lowered and uprated springs.brakes are good .discs all round. would like it 2 keep with my 53plate astra gsi turbo.

 

[michael harbour]

what duz they letter stand for am new to this aye have alway been a vauxhall man

 

[Timmy]

fcd = fuel cut defender. Will let you boost more with out the ecu saying no.
rrfpr or fpr = rising rate fuel pressure regulator = crude way of giving the car more fuel to stop it going boom
Obviously proper fueling computers are better and will give more power.

 

[michael harbour]

how do you go about derestricting boost on 1st and 2nd gear m8?

 

[glanzaV195]

it got lowered and uprated springs.brakes are good .discs all round. would like it 2 keep with my 53plate astra gsi turbo.

run 1 bar, and get rid of the 17's and the starlet will have more get up and go than the astra gsi,, eco tec turbo=poo c20 let = lol

 

[michael harbour]

its not a standard astra. about 240 250 brake.

 

[gordie]

how much did you get it for m8 well done enjoy it.

 

[michael harbour]

£3600.

 

[gordie]

that's a good price. has it got an alarm cd/dvd turbo timer?

 

[Adam_Glanza]

theres a tutorial on how to derestrict the boost its a piece of piss!

you literally take 1 hose off the solenoid and 1 end of the pipe back onto the hole you moved the other pipe off. literally a 1 minute job.

hopefully threw searching the site youll find a decent picture

 

[michael harbour]

it a n reg glanza v 69000miles. it came with cd player, turbo timer, full exhaust, filter, blow of valve, ,front mounted intercooler, lowerd, 17" wheels, just fresh in the country....

 

[Nick@TD.co.uk]

Get a TD04 turbo kit mapped at 1bar and you will see 220+ BHP on the glanza and will totally waste the astra simple

Haha nah mate id stick it at 0.8 bar anymore and the turbo wont last to long on it, the 4e engine is very tough so can take very good power before uprated internals, 0.8bar with decat, full zorst, and chassis stuff and it will be a lovely motor.
