[alexander08]

just wondering whats the best options to get a bit more power out of my vectra.. i had the 2.0dti in the vectra b aswell and it was far nippier imo than the C i know the C is a bigger boat but still.. just wondering what my options are to make it a bit quicker..?? thanks in advance..

Put a 150 CDTI engine in it!



On a serious note, try the K&N Panel filter, makes it a bit more responsive and economical

wow I have to say there is a load of sarcastic replys today
not sure how much power a remap gives out mate might want to look in to that?

HERE'S One way, this does make an improvement even if you don't get the air filter straight away, i did this on my 1.8 petrol.
You can do a re-map also, but this does cost but it improves a diesel more so than a petrol lump.

Can u remap the DTI engine??
Also, mod the airbox and fit the shorter air feed from the radiator

had the panel filter in my B and tbh i didn't notice a any difference.. will prob get one in it still though.. but looking for something to give it a bit more response like.. i think its stupidly slow atm for some reason.. i'm booking it in for a service now soon.. not sure if this will help any though.. whats the story with tuning boxes etc...?? do they fit the dti..? what sort of gains do you get from them..? thanks for any info/help..

edit - this was wrote in response to the first comment..

Think you can I know you can get a box for one

[alexander08]

aye might have to look into a remap.. will have to see what the gains are though before considering spending that kind of money..

The 2.0DTi and 2.2 DTi are very, very difficult to map. I believe Regal do one, but with mixed results.

They run a 'hybrid' ecu, that basically, most tuners can't crack. Also, the fuel pumps on these cars can be rather fragile, so even though it could be done, it wouldn't be a great idea for longevity. Just to let you know a fuel pump on these cars can be over £1500 and have to be paired to the car via tech 2. This goes for removing one from a scrapper too.

Boxes are available, however, they don't seem to show much in the way of gains, and can be a complete pain to fit, looking for throttle voltage inputs etc.

So all in all, it's not really a viable option. Just enjoy what you've got and pass the others by in the filling station!

Toe it with someting like a Viper?

Thats about as much chance you have on a majour increase.

You will gain small amounts of BHP doing Filter and Airbox Mod.

There is someone with a Box type Chip on here cant remember who but expect to pay about £300 + for 25 BHP ish same with the remap if you take a chance with the glass Fuel Pump!

I never thought I would say this because it P*&T me off when i joined.
'Sell up and buy a CDTI 150' Remap it an race the 2.0T and 3.0 V6's .. He he

Sorry mate
