Vxronline (vauxhall) - David - 13-05-2013
Ok so as some of you may know iv got an 06 astra.
I asked what difference a vxr turbo would do to my cdti and they have said its "IMPOSSIBLE" to make a different turbo fit.
This made me LOL so so much.
RE: Vxronline (vauxhall) - ozonehostile - 13-05-2013
what turbo do the vxr' use?
RE: Vxronline (vauxhall) - David - 13-05-2013
I believe it's the k04
RE: Vxronline (vauxhall) - ozonehostile - 13-05-2013
and its impossible to fit it to a derv? any explanation? lol
RE: Vxronline (vauxhall) - Toms306 - 13-05-2013
Lol, do you have a 150? .if so, they're unreliable enough without a big turbo to add to it.
Don't think the vxr turbo would be ideal on a diesel though? I'm sure I've read about a hybrid beemer turbo being used though..330d one iirc..
It's not so easy though, as the hotside IS the manifold on these iirc, like on the pd engines. So you can't just bolt on another turbo without hybridding...
RE: Vxronline (vauxhall) - David - 13-05-2013
Yeah I do have the 150 mate.

The diesel uses a GT1749v btw, if the ko4 is non vnt that'd be a bit pointless lol

I'd leave the vauxhall tbh man...
You have the DT to bolt big blowers too...
Inevitably you will get problems with bugger turbos.. Why have two broken cars?
RE: Vxronline (vauxhall) - Dum-Dum - 14-05-2013
Needs a gt2052v obviously

Got to agree with this tbh, you've already f*cked up one car. Also, its a vauxhall - it aint getting better no matter what you do to it. :p

Yeah man your on about the airbox not the turbo...
RE: Vxronline (vauxhall) - 1616six - 14-05-2013
Im getting my hybrid built for £450 & they are capable over over powering a vxr with the right injectors. Get on Vec-C. theres some diesel nuts on there...
RE: Vxronline (vauxhall) - r3k1355 - 14-05-2013
From the looks of it only one person said it was impossible, everyone else said it's a tough job.
If the compressor housing and manifold are one piece then thats why.
