Great vids. Finally a U.K Channel worth watching that’s actually informative 👍🏼 Got Chris Lees Astra now, love the map on it 👍🏼

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Hope you enjoy the car!

[@R77DVR]

Tuned by Rabbid yes. Really enjoying it. Had it at Bedford GT the other week and it went really well 👍🏼

[@harilewisjones857]

Jesus the amount of money put into that is mental. Fair play to the team that built it. 360bhp is not something to mess with. 🤯🤯

[@kineticfx9560]

I have the same vehicle in South Africa doing a big turbo upgrade tomorrow on precision 5858 Gen 1 turbo.

[@danielfletcher7897]

Heard only good things about you mate and seeing you take time to reply and give people advice is even more nice fair play mate, wish u was closer you would be my go to good luck m8

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Much appreciated

[@davidhoath9582]

Second time watching these episodes excellent work Rich and James. Need to get my Astra in for some Rabbid magic 👍

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Defo!

[@kenwilliams8048]

I like the way you spend the time to tune and explain it. I have a project on the go at the moment with a AH Astra 2007 in Australia, not many people tune these cars here (not popular like over there) I would like to know if i gave you the heads up on my car would you be able to help with a map so i can run it in before the dyno time ? regards Ken

[@Grantthesparky]

Great videos,nice to see someone explaining how its done properly and why its done!,cant wait to get mine back from you hopefully very soon haha👍

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Won't be long hopefully!

[@markrs59]

Awesome videos, amazing knowledge!! This makes me miss my vxr so much, which you mapped a few years ago 327hp on a stage 3.5 and that was an absolute weopon on the road, so I can only imagine what this turbo set up is like👌

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Cheap to buy now for new project cars.

[@markrs59]

@@tunedbyrabbid if I was to ever get another it'll be nurburgring and keep it as original as possible, as I had one at the time you mapped my arden but sold the burg for an gtc vxr, big mistake lol but I'm currently in the process of trading in my mk7 golf r for a mk2 focus rs so might be I touch next year for some mapping on that 👍

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Just 400hp can be done with simpler setups.

[@thelazycat_]

@@tunedbyrabbid what do you advice to change when you want it up to 400hp. Which turbo, 3 or 3,5 inch exhaust, other intake manifold? Not possible on stock internals?

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Rods are needed for 400hp Gtx2871r Rods Single valve springs 90mm maf 630cc injectors 3 bar map sensor Eds inlet Fast road cams Tubular manifold External gate 3" exhaust Stage 2 airtec

[@thelazycat_]

@@tunedbyrabbid thanks mate. Do you have to change something in the ecu when you increase the diameter of the maf sensor piping. Pressure will be higher en V lower.

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Yes the whole MAF has to be recalibrated otherwise serious engine damage will occur.

[@МихаилШишкин-б8р]

Very good !

[@thelazycat_]

You doing a really thorough job, nice to see. I saw your post on FB about the MAF sensor. When do want to increase the size of the MAF housing, let's say to 90mm? And do you need to make changes in the ECU because of the differnce in flow and pressure?

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Yes you have to scale the voltage or frequency output of the ECU to the air flow amounts.

[@EngAhmedHammad]

Hi i have Link ECU G4x monsoon on the stock turbo but forged internals stroker, i triad to get some Anti lag flames and did it but not big how can i tuned it to make more ALS flames ? my car is vauxhall cavalier 1995

[@scottsvxr]

Had a boost problem on mine for years. So put her to bed two years ago. One keeper, 30.000 miles std appart from remus fitted by Vauxhall, 57plate Arden. Now my daily is a Corsa VXRacing No. 208 also think it's over boosting🙄. I know nothing about the car. Have you ever came across No. 208....or maybe know anything about the tune?

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Not that I know of but we offer a dyno health check service to help with issues like this.

hi, my astra h gtc z20ler car has K04 turbo and the software has been upgraded. injector and exhaust standard version. I get the code ecn110611 at rev high. Do you have an idea for a solution? can you help me?

[@kblocklock9470]

Hi, can you help me with my vauxhall astra mk5 not make full power

[@checkyourself164]

Surely there's something holding this back, an EFR 7670 shouldn't be choking at those power levels. Why is the torque falling off so hard and power not rising from mid to high range?

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Indeed another car we've done with the same turbo managed 530HP, Steves made some changes but given Covid issues not been able to get back over from Ireland.

[@tomshld]

What coilovers do you got? Looks nice

[@dalegillan5075]

Is this stock engine or been forged ? My burg I bought is mapped from you 👌👌

[@K14RTP]

Dale Gillan he wouldn’t be banging that limiter on the dyno more than about 3 times if it wasn’t forged 😂

[@tunedbyrabbid]

For this level of power its a built engine, banging the limiter isn't going to matter forged or not. Most likely from limiter banging too much, especially hard cut limits is they unload the valve colletts or on shimmed valves can lead to shims jumping out or even valves dropping out. When a valve drops forged or not, it makes a mess!

[@the_rafa0398]

@@tunedbyrabbid lovely videos you are making mate, is the block on here wedged? And by what power levels are Wedging z20 engines required?

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Nope rarely actually wedge any of them. Power wont break a water way. Excessive torque or subjecting the car to detonation will do.

[@PZLegend]

Was the engine forged? What was exactly done and how many horses does he have? What I need for 300hp Z20LEH?

[@tunedbyrabbid]

300HP just needs a 3" exhaust and intercooler maybe an intake and a proper remap.

[@cm2657]

when are you guys planning to reopen? i need my car looking at im having boost control circuit failure issues p110656, ive changed my boost control valve, recirculation valve and MAP sensor and still no luck

Whenever the lock down is lifted for semi essential businesses.

[@thebomber5028]

Did the engine management light not show for the boost control solenoid

[@tunedbyrabbid]

No it would only show for open circuit, the solenoid itself cannot tell if its operating properly as long as the coil inside makes a proper electrical connection.

[@Manlikewezzo]

Could really do with that old exhaust manifold right about now man still got it? 😉👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

You'd have to ask Steve!

[@CoggieUK]

When's the winols series come out? :/

[@tunedbyrabbid]

I doubt I'll be doing one.

[@alanunknown8932]

I’m in the process of building my gtx3076r burg. What would you recommend over a klassen or eds ? And what injector size ?

[@tunedbyrabbid]

Eds for big turbos 630cc for up to 430hp 875cc for up to 530hp 1000cc avoid unless going over 550hp they do not fit like factory and require adaption. If done wrong will cause bad spray patterns to fire risks if adapted badly.
