Good job lad.
You had me fooled with the airbox on the 1200 there, I thought it was single point injection there for a min.
Make sure yu keep it updated with the 16 16v
ya i will. i should be taking the engine out of the vectra next week so i will have more pics.

i got a feew parts today, tank with the pump and fuel lines, F13CR gearbox ,and a lighter fly wheel of a 8v engine.the ecu light is on in the vectra i think it could be the map sensor.i tried flashing the code and i got 10 flashes the it paused then flashed 5 more times. i cant get the code to match anything.
im not doing much these days just trying to get the engine running. the engine is running to rich and is not runnig or idleing wright http://blitzandgriffin.11.forumer.co...s/icon_sad.gif i got a dinostic test done and i had to change the crank sensor/idle contol moto/manifold pressure sensor/coolant temperature sensor/ all of the sensors were second hand but the engine is still running poor it wont idle ok and it puts black smoke out at high revs and the spark plugs are sooth black. i also bought another engine for spare parts. i tried to flash the codes and got a throttle body malufuntion so i took off the throttle body and cleaned it all out and changed the idle control motor. does anyone know what to do next? here is a pic of the spare engine

not much of an update beacuse i am still waiting for the engine to get fixed i am brining it over to another mechanic to have a look at it. if the engine was running the day i bought it i would probly have the engine in and running. here is a pic of the exhaust system i am using it was a standard 1.2l exhaust that was a bit modified. the back box is off a yamaha raptor/quad bike......it should sound good :d

a bit of a update...i have the engine out flywheel on and new clutch kit i should have the engine in sunday but it will take about 2 or 3 weeks to wire the engine http://209.85.48.10/html/emoticons/sad.gif. i have the fuel pump changed to the mpi pump. i will fit the petro tank back in with the new high pressure fuel lines on friday or saturday. so all i have to do to get it running is fit the engine+box in connect drive shafts. wire engine+kill switch fit petrol tank+fuel lines and it should be finished http://209.85.48.10/12813/51/emo/14.gif http://209.85.48.10/12813/51/emo/banana.gifdo i need to make a adjuster for the atanator belt? i am using the vectra altanator with the wide flat pulley. does the engine loom disconect straight from the ecu?
