Swiss Trackday Nova

Hi There!

I've been busy lately and i got some spare time so.. let the writing begin

Because you can get in very big trouble for not having a catalytic converter under your car in switzerland (loosing your driving licence and so on) and i wanted to improve the exhaust system i decided to switch to a cheap and hopefully little more effective solution.

I wanted to replace the original cat...


..with a C20XE cat.


Therefore i had to cut the exsiting Manifold in pieces.


some adjustments with the "new" cat.


made a new pipe for mounting after the catalytic converter with a much bigger diameter


welded everthing that had to be welded and monuted it to the car




unfortunately it didn't make a big difference... at least i tried

Then i started to make the mountig points for the CV-Joint Suspension.
I tested if it would have been possible to weld the mountings vertically but that wouldn't work because the angle for the tie bars was bigger than it would allow.

...so horizontal it is!


before welding


and after


POR15 for rust protection


Nice

Bought some second hand brake proportioning valves.


and a computer cable


After a couple of days i began to disassemble the enginebay..... one more time

still complete


Everything had to go... EGR, MAP Sensor, idle valve and so on


including the whole engine management


then had to change the camshafts


to 266° cams

while i was changing the cams i had a visitor from UPS

The writing on the parcel was promising


and the content even more. hehehe


Complete KMS van Kronenburg engine management
- ECU MP25
- Basic wiring loom for 4 cylinder
- 4 injectors 380ccm
- Bosch 4.9 wideband lambda sensor
- KMS air temperature sensor
- KMS throttle position sensor
- KMS ignition coil


380cc injector close up


the inner workings of the MP25 ECU with the connector for programming


there was a lot to do. every cable had to be connected by myself


in order to fit the ne injectors i had to modify the fuel rail a little bit
top original / bottom modified


with fitted injector loom. Very tight, but it works


had to cut the distance sleeves, because the KMS injectors were a bit shorter than the original injectors


then had to switch the TPS sensor vom passenger to drivers side.


fitting the loom


lambda sensor comparison


loom fitting nearly completed.

Nice work as always. On the tiebar brackets would you be better boxing the other side in too to match the bent side? I'm no expert but it sounds like it'd add a bit more strength

Hi, good choice with the kms and risse-motorsport and nice corsa.

On the tiebar brackets would you be better boxing the other side in too to match the bent side?

i decided to make my own subframe wich connects the tiebar and tca's to stiffen everything a little bit more.

good choice with the kms and risse-motorsport and nice corsa.

thanks... or in a more familiar language: Danke! i think it would be better for you to check my thread at corsaforum.de

KMS is an excellent choice. A guy local to me sells loads of them and uses KMS in his own cars/on his own motorbikes to great effect.



And... it's Dutch!

To the 30th anniversary of the Corsa A (Nova) all Corsas could park side by side.

Any pics of the Spider and what looks like a Sprint-C TR(Saloon)?

@ novasport: Here you go http://www.streetridez.net/index.php...ew&picID=57191

I've been busy over the last few weeks so here are the results of what i was up to.

Because the camshaft sensor is no longer needed i grinded the reference points of. This would maybe reduce some mass that otherwise has to be moved..... unlikley i know


and mounted


The bracket for the throttle position sensor had to be slightly modified because it wasn't possible to put the plug on the TPS.


problem solved


To get a first impression what needed to be done i layed out some wires including a standard C16SEi loom which i needed to cut apart.


I had to reuse the fuel relay...


...and the connector for connecting to the standard nova loom.


joined them together including a piece of KMS loom


after some fiddling with the loom i managed to lay out the cables

[ExTrEmeOc]

to keep the water, oil, fuel or whatever out of the car i used the plug from the SEi loom.


and after some hours i had the right lenghts for all the cabels.


after that i had to fit the ECU connector, therefore i had to cut all the cables to the same length.


The KMS wiring diagram is very easy to understand (at least for me ) so ist wasn't that difficult to wire everything up.


finished


two 'n half hours later i had myself a nice little engine loom
