Courtenay Sport Latest News and Information

Z20LEx Cast Manifold and Hybrid Garrett Turbo

9 Dec 2009, 17:05

Developed in-house by Courtenay Sport.

In addition to our tubular manifold, we are also able to offer a high flow cast manifold for Z20LEx applications. This cast manifold has been developed for conversions up to 400 bhp and is a good alternative for the tubular manifold because a cast item is generally stronger and more durable plus it will not heat soak the engine bay in quite the same way. It also retains a degree of 'OE' look in the engine bay.

The cast manifold has been developed in such as was as to correctly orientate the turbo to give a constant radius 3" cast outlet for optimum flow and has been designed to allow air con to be retained.

Fully developed in house by Courtenay Sport this conversion can be specified with a newly developed garrett hybrid turbo unit for this manifold. The benefits of our new hybrid garret unit are that driveability is much improved. Power and torque is available from around 3,000 rpm making mid range driving a delight due to the turbos ability to spool up quickly.

Additionally, the turbo allows the use of original oil and water banjo bolts and the pick up points are in the same locations as the OE KKK turbo, making fitment easier. No more having to source fiddley oil and water feed pipes.

Power/Torque Graph.

We can offer a range of turbo options to be used with this cast manifold to give a mild increase to around 320-330bhp, to 350bhp and up to around 400bhp.

Suitable for all Z20LEx engines, it is recommended that for durability and reliability additional strengthening of pistons and rods is carried out to non LEH engines, while LEH engines steel rods are recommended.

The graph shows a conversion specifically built to produce 330 bhp with 360 lb ft torque

Cast Manifold - £499.00

Complete Turbo Kit - £1785.00

Full Kit includes: Bespoke Garrett Turbo, Cast Manifold, Inlet Casting, Inlet Air Pipe, Full Radiused Exhaust Outlet Casting with Integral Wastegate and Lambda Sensor Boss, Modified Oil Drain Pipe and Modified Water Pipe Parts.

Z20LEx High Flow Inlet Manifold

Stephan Klasen, our partner and mapping engineer, has produced numerous high powered Z20LEx cars and for some time has had the most powerful Z20LEx engined car at 659BHP in his crazy Speedster. His various builds continually found that the standard inlet manifold starts flow inefficiently on high power applications over 350 BHP.

Using this knowledge gained from his Speedster and other builds, the high flow manifold is the culmination of a project Stephan started over 2 years ago. The aim was to design a manifold that fitted all versions & applications of the Z20LEx engine to produce good high end power whilst not sacrificing all the bottom and mid range end power.

Prototype Inlet Manifold Prototype Version 1 was a simple design with its squashed plenum it produced good high end bhp however more work was needed with the  plenum for more even air distribution.
Prototype Version 2 featured a dual plenum design this produced good air distribution and good bhp numbers due to is short inlet tract it was good for power to 8000+ rpm, however when tried with the plastic prototype V2 this power was at the cost of low end torque and mid range power. So was considered too extreme for most applications. Plastic Prototype V2 High Flow Inlet Manifold
Plastic Prototype V3 High Flow Inlet Manifold Prototype Version 3 was the beginnings of the manifold we ended up with. The inlet tracts were made longer to keep a good torque spread, whilst the pre-resonance chamber made larger and improved in shape for enhanced air flow. A costly plastic prototype was again made for testing.
This proved invaluable as the bottom end power and torque was vastly improved, however we felt that the top end power could be further enhanced with larger ports. This proved the best balance between low end torque and power and high end power, showing improved power / boost ratio at 455 bhp Flow Testing
(we did not dare run it at higher boost than this as it was making some nasty noises due it being made from plastic, whilst others in the workshop feared 1st degree plastic lacerations!!)
CAD drawing of V4 High Flow Inlet Manifold Version 4 was the final version with only subtle mods being made to the pre-resonance to port transition whilst externally some hardware mounting points altered.
The inlet manifold has so far been tested to 520 bhp. >>> Power Graph to 520bhp Gains on a car fitted with a K04-Race turbo. >>> Power and Torque Graphs when used on an engine with a K04 Race turbo.
Power Graph Click to Enlarge We have also tried the manifold on an engine equipped with a VXR K04 turbo whilst not expecting any huge gains with an engine already running 290 to 300 bhp we were pleased to see the inlet manifold fitted (red trace). Once mapped to suit the inlet manifold showed power gains from 5,700 rpm, with gains of 10 bhp at 6,000rpm, 23 bhp at 6,500 rpm and 29bhp at 7,000 rpm.

In the past this has only been achieved by fitting cams the result of this can lead to an unwanted lumpy idle, whilst fitting an inlet manifold and leaving the standard cam profile leaves the idle smooth as standard. (Figures shown on the graph are at the wheel figures)

Uprated Intercooler Kit - Astra H 1.9 CDTi

19 Nov 2009, 15:53

Courtenay Sport are pleased to launch their enlarged uprated intercooler kit for the Astra H 1.9 CDTi.

The kit consists of an extra large full height front mounted intercooler with thicker core, high flow repalcement fan and all the required fittings.

The intercooler is a direct replacement and results from testing have been excellent. Inlet air temperatures fall significantly and the fuelling is much cleaner. Full benefits can be made with additional ecu mapping to alter the fuelling to improve power and torque.

Intercooler Kit Price - £725.00
