... We will find out Tuesday to see if I've managed it. I loaded the new engine map on before and wow does it fly now. Will speak to A&M Conversions in Deeside to try and book a rolling road slot in on Tuesday.

Fingers crossed!

Replaced it with a V6 ...... ?

140bhp to 200bhp from an engine map? To say I'm sceptical is an understatement. But having a 2.2 myself (be it off the road) I'm happy to be proved wrong!

Unless its had a lot of engine mods or a turbo fitted a remap won't give you 200bhp unfortunately, you might get another 10% or so

With a supercharger bolted on ....sorted

A few other things have been done too - ported and polished inlet manifold and throttle body, fuel pressure raised and a smoother flowing exhaust. It last made 181bhp on the rolling road on a stuffy hot day.

Still can't believe those figures, not with such light mods. The Z22YH which was direct injection did 153bhp out of the factory

Take it too 2 or 3 other rolling roads & take the average, bet you will get different results

[Del Boy]

You will get different results, you'd get a different result on every single rolling road you took it too, however, this one said he had 180.9 BHP so he did make pretty much 181 BHP . That's an absolute cracking figure without a turbo on that engine!

I don't agree. The rolling road says it reached almost 181 BHP but who says the rolling road is correct. Its common knowledge that rolling roads are often set to show greater output

[Omega_Dan]

There are a few astra 2.2's on the forum running around 190bhp . With the modifications on mine its running approximately 155 bhp.

Astra 2.2 lump though is totaly different engine

I did think the heads were a bit different but I was assuming they would be the same. Wrong again
