fitting twin 40's need help with ignition

[adam-d]

14nv, ok

if i got the dizzy, coil, ignition amp and loom from a nova with these in, it would be plug and play?

[tom_beverley]

Yes, that would probably be the easiest and cheapest method to get everything you need.

[tookie]

you could use the setup from any astra/cavalier with the 16sv carbed engine in ,it would be easy to come by from any scrappy ,only problem would be is there are 2 types of coil setup with the 16sv the early ones are similer to the 1.4 nova stuff and the later ones have a ecu mounted dead center on the bulkhead.

[adam-d]

so if i go for the non ecu type im sorted?
cool, ill scour the scrappys on sat

[tookie]

even the ecu one would do the job its just a bit more wiring .

[adam-d]

i think i got the ecu one, i havent a clue what i need, what i dont, and how to wire it in

this is what i got was off a carb 1.6 8v cav












the multiplug scares the crap out of me, as i dont know how to wire it in, or if its right, or if i need the red cap bosh stuff instead.
this is a pain in the ****.

[tookie]

cut the multi-plug off and connect the red to a permanent live,the black to a switched live and the brown to a earth and it should run.

[adam-d]

ive looked on my engine, and it has the same dizzy. so.
i gues if i connect up the map sensor. looking at the 2 other plugs, i connect up the coolent temp, 2 pin plug, and then give the ecu a live and earth that should be it? or am i being to simple

on the above loom i have starting and charging system, i can use the corsa one, i have reverse plug and oil pressure light and coolent temp for the dash. all those i gues i can leave off/cut out. and use the corsa stuff

any help greatly appreciated.


also..... the dizzy in the pic is the same on my engine, would a earlyer bosh-redcap dizzy bolt right upto my engine?
as the bosh system seem much simpler.

[adam-d]

ok tookie thanks, so on the multiplug i connect those 3 wires to the corsa loom, "i think it has them on a 3 pin plug aswell"

i use the 2 pin coolent temp and map senor and octane plug as the ecu may need those for metering. but apart from that im done?
cool. ill try that

[tookie]

yeah keep the stuff you said and cut the rest out of the loom,you might want to keep the green wire thats seperate from the multi-plug as thats for the rev counter.
