I own a '94 vectra turbo and it's a little modified
engineblock overbored (2.1L), low compression pistons, oilspraynozzles under the pistons, steel conrods, bigger intercooler, KKK K16/26 hybrid turbocharger, fuelpressure 4.5 bar, other sparkplugs and other software this brings my standard specs: 204hp, 280Nm, 0-100km/h in 6.8 and topspeed of 240km/h
to the modified specs:330hp, 485Nm, 0-100km/h 4.8 and a topspeed of 295km/h (the car will probably go a little over 300km/h but I didn't go that far yet!)

next thing is bigger injectors so I can run my turbocharger to it's full potential +-380hp

i had a lotus carlton for 3 years 3.7 twin turbos 377bhp in brg. crap inside just like a 1.8/20l carlton.it wasn,t eye watering fast or or quick of the mark.but was very oldschool powerful.and not forgotting it,s a full size saloon huge boot and lots of room in the cabin.the looks are great handles very well it was setup by lotus. not surprised a modded vectra turbo beat it but one thing in the lotus ,s farover is i heard of from the lotus carlton club was tweaked to 672bhp rejigged under pinnings and eats bmw m3 for beakfast and the odd super car. but all in all i would buy one again but hard to find a good i paid 22.500 that was 6years ago.
