Well I got an email from Peter about him flashing my ECU with his software works out at £715.
Gonna bite the bullet and go for it I think. Makes sense if I can self tune it after any future mods
It could cost close to that for the base flash and a few hours on the rolling road at CS.
And it save me a very long drive with a low rev limiter

Dude you're serious about the Cruise Control?? That's nice! Although it means something isn't working on my car at the moment... Did you told Peter it still works?My Astra G is supercharged like z22se-fan with the ODBTuner software in original ECU
M62 + 3.1" pulley + Green LSj inj + Phenolic gasket + Dual Pass mod + ODBT firmware= working great
Also, if you have futur projects like me (2.5" exhaust system) you don't have to do again a remap, you do it yourself
Peter from ODBT told me that i'll lose cruise control, but i tried it and still works
No mods needed for the principal cooling system cause you have to make another one independent.
Might just need to be coded into the ecu after peter applies the OBDTuner stuff.

Yes Ansar !
Try it one time on road after ODBT firmware was done. Just connect before my OP-Com to erase some fault codes (maybe this operation reactivate the CC ?).
Will do another test of C/C if you want this next days, to be sure.
I Told to Peter that works, he would try on spare ecu to check.

I don't think the ECU needs to have cruise control programmed to work. I have an ECU in my car at the moment which came from an Astra without cruise control and OPCOM says cruise control is not programmed, but it works! Looks like it should work with Peters ECU without any changes.My Astra G is supercharged like z22se-fan with the ODBTuner software in original ECU

I will find out and update when I get my new ECU.
that will be the same as the astra to as that has the cooling module
air con is run thru the cooling module

Well I got my ECU back from Peter and it's works great. The car runs so much better already and it not even supercharged yet!
Cruise control works perfectly, traction control and abs works and the cooling fans work.
Just a few more bits to get and I'll be supercharged!
I've not had a proper go at turning the engine with the PC software yet but I've had a little play and found it allows you to tell it what setup you have with injectors, throttle body, and MAP/ TMAP sensors. You can dissable the egr and catalyst checks, change the rev limiter and speed limiter.
Once you get a base calibration for the setup you have you can tell the ECU to self learn the fuel maps and ignition tables.
There's lots of other things you can do too but I've not had time to check it all out yet.
I'd definitely recommended it to anyone thinking of doing the supercharger conversion in more than one stage as the cost is probably less than what you'd pay to have it remapped each time. I love it, just the fact it idles better makes me smile.
Can't wait to put it to full use!

Well I decided to supercharge my car today and got it up and running. Yay
There's a few more jobs to do before it can be driven but its working.
Here's a video of the first start up after re-calibrating my ECU

Well, I just got back from a fuel and ignition learning session in the new supercharged Astra. (Just an excuse to go for a drive really)
Still some small jobs to finish off but its definitely driving very well indeed
I ended up making an idle pulley from a piece of thick flat bar and a spare tensioner to add more drive to the alternator as it was smoking a little after the first start up.
It doesn't look very pretty, but its works great.
I still need to fix the battery properly, at the moment the K&N is holing it in place
And the ECU need a home once I have the battery fixed in its final position.
Oh, and some black hose for the EVAP so I can use my BBQ

Seeing all those supercharged Z22s yesterday at PVS makes me want to go down the charged route, there is loads of good info and fitting guides on here been reading for days but before i spend my cash could someone please check this eBay item for me to check it’s the correct type of charger cheers

There seems to be plenty of these type to pick from if its the correct charger
