ex road rally car

i dont as yet have any form of ecu altho i should have the standard sri one soon.
future plans are to run the omex 600 unit but as yet im undecided
also the throttle body i have (standard c14se) has the icv hole sealed off so i guess ill have to make some form of butterfly stop or buy a different throttle body entirely. (i do have a set of bmw k1200 throttle bodies which may get used)
as things progress ill keep this thread updated
thank you for the info.

i managed to pick up some bits today, the head is another spare as the one im using is away having work done still,
the block has been honed out cleaned and painted, i also managed to find a gear cluster (hopefully) when i popped to see a mate earlier and he showed me racks of them, im going to pop again next week and hunt through his collection to find the one i want,
anyway a piccy of the engine


more soon hopefully

Found this thread through locosters, so thought if post up here regarding the Loom (not sure if im teaching you to suck eggs) but if my memory serves me correctly the Nova Sri loom was a 1 peice loom, unlike GTE/GSI etc that had seperate car/engine looms. However the Corsa 1.4 8v SRi did have seperate looms, but was DISPAC only (some late Nova SRis were too), however looking at your lump, its a DISPAC lump anyway, so if your still loom hunting, a Corsa one may be the answer.

i didnt realise the corsa loom was seperate, i'll see how i get on building a loom with the bits i have if it doesnt go well ill hunt round for a corsa one, thanks for the info

Corsa loom is a good call if you can find one as I am running a c14se from a corsa sri with the corsa engine loom in my rally car.

just a small update, i managed to get my throttle body put back together and rebuilt the inlet manifold while i was in the mood



ive also started to clean down a set of wheels ready for paint no pics of those tho they are only standard astra ones nothing special

[martstdvan]

managed to paint the wheels today, hopefully ill fit the tyres this week




i'll post a pic when they appear on the car
