1600 16v into nova

[SR-Rally]

hi, i've got a nova gsi road rally car. the engine went last week and i am now hoping to put an early corsa gsi 16v engine in to keep weight down and handling. will it fit straight in or do i need change any engine mounts etc? i'm planning on running my gsi's f13 box. also what about the loom, how will i connect new engine loom to nova loom?

i've heard that because my nova loom is gsi one you can change the 8 or 9 plug to a 6 plug and just connect it straght to nova loom where gsi engine loom plugs in?

Should this not be in here?.. http://www.pngclub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=8

Should be a good project when done. Get some progress pics as you go then set up a WIP thread. Welcome to PNG by the way. :)

ive got a nova sri dash loom in mine all i did was cut a hole in the off side bulkhead and put the ECU down by the drivers feet like in a corsa B.Then i went to a scrap yard and cut off the plug tha fits on the corsa b loom ind wired the wires up!:thumb:

its easy mate you need to wire

the fuel pump into the plug (Blue Red Chasher)
live supply ecu(red wire)
ignition live (Black wire)
rev gauge (Green Wire)
temp gauge (Blue wire)

thats all ive wired i think.:p

so do the wire colours match up on the 2 looms? how long did it take you to get the engine running?

yah there all the same colours mate about 6 hours! 4 of with it took me to put it in cuz it wanted to be a bugger!!!! its easy mate.:thumb:
