VECTRA C 2.2 TURBO SRI 16VALVE 250/60BHP (rolling road to let me know soon)

Dave_Gilbert

So I had a few hours with the donor vectra and new wiring loom parts and within seconds(2 plugs n 2 earths) I was into the ECU and reset it.

iv pulled the exhaust which is just a cat and straight through to a pair of back boxes, probably sounded nice.

Put all the bits I will be using on my car in the corsa and got them in the garage to clean and maybe paint a few bits.

I need to find out about what will be needed before pulling the stereo, clocks and cim. Will they need divorcing or owt?

Dave_Gilbert

so i need a few gaskets, should i go GM? exhaust manifold, inlet manifold, throttle body and turbo to cat and cat to flexi, whats your thoughts? whats it roughly gonna cost

sump is just instant gasket isnt it?

then i just need the oil n water bits sorting but im on that next week i think, hopefully get the sump pulled on saturday.

vocky

OEM gaskets tend to be better quality (y)

Dave_Gilbert

Its not gonna cost loads to do gm. I will go to vauxhall when I get some cash(hopefully early next week)

The exhaust is standard z20net mate, the NET has no middle box on the prefacelift hatch. Re the HU, if its a half Can car as in buttons on the steering wheel not rollers then its plug and play as long as you have the code, that will be on your car pass. its not paired with the screen, so if its better than yours then you should be able to just drop it in and input the code. Also the clocks can just be unplugged and should go direct into a similar car with no opcom needed.
Is your car half can? Also what is the NET, half or full can?

Dave_Gilbert

Halfcan on both, I dont want any of it there shit hahaha but someone may want them so I can make a few quid back thats all.
cheers @[deleted].

so I can get all that out this week n get them sold.

Will the mileage be displayed from that car or the car they go into? Im sure I saw that I could change the miles on the clocks. I may be able to offer them with correct mileage for there car?

rushy

Yes if the buyer puts it into his car it will show the mileage from the doner car. Not sure if opcom can do mileage correction.

evocarlos

is it done yet ? 🙂

Dave_Gilbert

Not quite but getting there now.
I need to find out what the banjo bolt size is n this alloy fitting im thinking of using on the thermostat housing and might be able to use it on the sump aswell, I would have to send the sump and thermostat housing to @[deleted] for ally welding, then its just bolting it all together, it couldnt be simpler

(It really does sound easy when I type it)

evocarlos

water to the turbo come in from the front rad hose on the head then the return goes in to the water pump side of the thermostat housing

Dave_Gilbert

On my new turbo I have an extra pipe aswell compared to the old 1, I think its water but not 100%

I will put all the pipes on the turbo and take a picture tomorrow evening.

Dave_Gilbert

Any thoughts on this boost gauge?

Dave_Gilbert

Think I found where my exhaust is blowing.

looking at a flexi, cut this out and clamp a new 1 in.

The older turbo is a Garat I belive and the later ones a Mitsubishi. They have different coolant lines. I know nothing about Turbos, but I didnt think the older type had a water line but the newer type did????

rushy

Dave, I put a clamp in flexie in, it just ended up blowing a few weeks down the line. In the end I had it welded in.

Dave_Gilbert

Well I can weld so I might just weld it in.

both my turbos are garrets just 1 has a extra hole but I think I can just blank 1 off but not 100% (as useual I ant got a clue hahaha)

im.gonna get all the pipes on and mock it up. I need a few banjo bolts so I might take the turbo n pipes to a local bolt place.

Dave_Gilbert

Just had an idea.

I got this other flexi with my stainless exhaust.

I might fit that for now and buy a flexi for when I put the turbo on

I think the cat fitting to the flexi is the same, I will check it later.

Get some pics so i can help you out. If things are OK, there should be 4 holes in the CHRA of the Turbo ("middle" part between the two snailshells)

2 for oil inlet and outlet and 2 for water inlet and outlet.
Normaly the oil feed is the top one and the oil return is the bottom one (gravity drains the oil back into the sump). The both holes on the sides are for water. Inlet and outlet are not that important for water since it's for cooling, so as long there is flow it's ok. Oil needs a direction.

Note! This is for the "normal" garrett turbo's, but should work for other turbo's as well. basics are the same (except for non-watercooled turbo's).

Grtz,
Daniel

Dave_Gilbert

Thanks for that info. I will get some photos up tonight.

Thats all I have to figger out now really. The oil n water for the turbo.

Dave_Gilbert

this is how I beleive the turbo is piped up.
the top pipe goes to a banjo bolt on the rear of the block for oil.
the back pipe goes to the thermostat for water.
the bottom pipe goes to the cradle or sump for oil.

and the 1 at the front(closest to the manifold is water from down the side of the rocker cover.

I think anyway,
so I know I need to modify the bottom pipe and the sump for oil
but is there a banjo bolt or a hole for a banjo bolt to the rear of a z22se engine?
I know I need water from either the thermostat or bottom of the water pump.
but is there water for the front pipe.

hope that makes sence.
