Brin's OEM Astra Twinport

[Brin]

decided to use standard top half of inlet as I don't have no money have to maintain the car needs all new suspension maybe at a later date I will finish my inlet bottom half is the flap removed and port polished half though

 

[Brin]

Stripped! took me 3.5hours to strip it in total as every single nut and bolt was siezed!! suprised for its age but i am replacing everything with stainless steel bolts and nut so never have the problem again

Linked the motor and sensor for twinport to the new inlet bottom half but no flaps are there the linkages is not connected to nothing but sensor and motor lol will have to see if it works , you cant map twinport from the ECU and no dealers wont do it as someone previously stated on this thread!

nah had a vac leak I sorted now buddy that's why I fouind it this morning but still rough idle that's only issue is the rough idle almost a misfire

and its £25 for RR power run on 24th feb, otherwise £50 each

spent the whole day, removed both inlets, cleaned them off and refitted, no luck, tried standard inlet, still no luck, alternator belt off to solver screeching noise NO LUCK!, timing belt on and off 4 time, still no luck :/ now iv swapped camshafts, buckets, carriers and pulleys and finally the screeching noise has gone, but still rough idle I dunno why

all the parts i had to change to sort the bent suspension!

shocker, top mount, hub, wishbone, disc, anti roll bar link, bearing/ABS sensor, alloy wheel

all is good now though all them parts were bent! now 100% aligned

 

[Brin]

All the little bits are now sorted, tensioner sorted!, suspension sorted, manifold flaps sorted!

on road now and b*tches be lookin at me like "sh*****t son!! this kids got it going on!!" aha

 

[Brin]

few days old the vid but never got round to uploading lol...fitted new tensioner and misfiring stopped! was a broken tensioner not holding the belt tight properly

all sorted!! on the road atm...just saving up for a full custom chromed stainless exhaust system and il make me own induction kit and then remap!!

but will have a RR graph of the head to prove it does add power for all the haters
