Any idea on fitting costs?

We have a 1.9 CDTi Astra 2007 150bhp Remapped to 212bhp. Just saw this and wondered if it would be worth a go and how it would effect things? Im a total amateur im afraid. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Performance/Transmission/Quaife_ATB_Helical_LSD_Differential/535/0/95251/43147

Jarrus, Your knowledge of diesels far surpasses mine. Have you got any projects on at the minute? How about starting one? I have some spare funds that I can put into something. Like you said diesels may be hard work but the reward would be just too good to pass by.

If I may ask a few questions as I am learning all the time. 1. is it possible to get to insane horsepower levels in a diesel engined car like you can with a highly tunable petrol Skyline GTR for example? 2. How could this be acheived? 3. Which engine and/or car would be a good starting...

Its so much fun that I have been stealing the keys off the wife and going for fun drives around the countryside every evening since the remap. First time I have ever drove a car pureley for the experience rather than the commute since an old peugeot 306 gti years ago.

She got a 2007 astra 1.9D SRi 150 had it remapped by Cetltic Tuning and had it on rolling road to test now upto 212hp and its just out of this world. Crazy peformance to be fair and great fun to drive.

I heard that projects like full engine transplants had started to phase out these days. Not sure if that is true but I am looking to start a project of putting a larger engine in a smaller car. No idea where to start or whats involved. I was hoping to find someone who was willing to go 50-50 on...

Thanks Jarrus, Yes i meant SRi. Still getting used to all the terms. The car is very nice. I drove the Auris SR180 and that was great too but I heard you could not remap Toyotas. In the end it was the Astra or the Civic 2.2d the Civic was very comfortable but there was something missing. The...

Hello, So I just purchased a Astra 1.9d 150bhp VXR Its going in for a remap at celtic tuning next week. I heard that after a remap its best practice to replace the clutch for a better model than standard. Can anyone reccomend what type to get and where? Im struggling to find one as i dont...

had any experience of the 1.9 150 bhp astra?

so bang for buck whats the best diesel out there after remapping?

thanks for the info. is it even possible to get over 300lb torque and 200 bhp with a remap on a motor thats done under 80k all for a budget of 7k?

Thanks, The wife was thinking of a remap to optimise efficiency but i did not know Toyota was difficult to do. The golf you speak of 170bhp, would i stand any chance of getting one in budget? my budget is now around £7k Looks like the civic 2.2d looks very tunable Also looked at some old...

She drove the Auris SR180 yesterday and said it was brilliant. Sorry im presuming VAG is a golf? sorry i dont know these terms yet. Also what is the CR?

Hello, My wife is looking for a new car with a budget of about 6k max. The car will be doing 80 motorway miles 5 days a week with about 15 miles of town driving. She currently has a Hyundai Coupe 2.0i and she wants something more economical and would like to go down the diesel route. She...
