if you are going to use a 2.2 or 2.4 tb it's quite straight forward. the alternator backing plate is held on with two nuts and a single screw, so should take five minutes to mod. other than that it's just a case of adjusting pipes etc to fit the new manifold. if you intend fitting the 2.0sc tb............buy a 2.4 tb instead

Right Lazy and Craig are you guys still on for this? (mostly you Craig because guess who will end up doing all the work )

the usa engines don't have an egr system, so there's no where for the egr pipe to go

you could leave the egr valve in place, just fit the blanking plate and mount the valve sitting over the side of the egr plate or purchase a z22se egr cheater or make your own egr cheater

I'm off to the scrappy tomorrow and will find which vehicles the alternator suppressor and vacuum one way valve can be used from

i assume thats £320 per setup.... what about the bigger TB?

Nope between 3 Iam not running fancy cams so dont need the bigger tb.
Right 4 inlets/gasket sets coming up will order today

[vocky]

the manifold costs £185 delivered + a gasket set ? had my vx running today, but still waiting for various bits I found the servo vacuum one way valve on an astra 1996, same on a corsa 1995 too it also has a small take off built into the valve and I just blanked that off I forgot to look for the suppressor, but I'm sure that can be bought from any car spares shop.

[vocky]

update (sorry I forgot to post earlier )

my vx has been running well with the 2.4 inlet, it needs a remap due to all my other mods, but that should be sorted very soon


they did a rolling road 'before and after' in the states and the 2.4 inlet manifold on it's own added 13 bhp

maximum gain was 21 bhp at 6200 rpm

the graphs can be found HERE

Great mod Vocky I'm certain more guys will go for that as a mod Can't remember why you didn't use the 68 tb?

[andyroo]

Vocky, would you be able to put a kit together with instructions that I could purchase from you? I would be happy for you to add a small percentage for doing the hard work I would have the kit to bolt onto a standard engine... name your price! (Within reason ) Am I right in thinking I would need the 2.4 inlet manifold, new gasket, egr valve blank plate, and also to modify the altenator slightly? Is it a relatively easy DIY job? Otherwise I'd make a right pig's ear of it and my wife would be all like: Thanks!

[rik]

where sells a weld-in sport cat as in one of the z22se.org posts?

[oakmere]

If these increases are correct I would be up for a group buy and I am sure I would not be the only one as it would be one of the best value bhp per £ mod you can do.

Would also be worth flowing the 58mm throttle body as part of the mod. Those planning cams the 2.4 body is only around £60.00 I think? so worth getting at the same time!

What difference would the 2.4 TB make to a standard cam'd car?

[oakmere]

I think speedster is running the larger 2.4 tb with standard cams but I may by wrong.
