dizzy in a late XE cocast head

[bmw156]

hey guys,

i have a late XE cocast head with a GM stamp.

completely bare,

could i fit the right dizzy cams and run it on a dizzy rather then coilpak?

what implications are there if any?

many thanks

[John]

Yeah dizzy stuff will fit, you'll need everything management wise from the dizzy xe though.

like loom, ecu,

anything else?

[John]

You'll need the loom, ecu, dizzy, coil, afm, exhaust cam. Does it have the cosast stamp between 2&3?

[burgo]

yesh it does

Throttle body, injectors and fuel reg are different on dizzy engines as well.

ok thanks
what is different about them? as i have a few throttle bodies.

also manifold?

[djbrowney]

you also need the cam shaft sensor aswell !!!

lol, yeh thats one of my options atm, and probably one of the easier options, just costs a bomb.

if i was to run twin 40's could i run aftermarket management and be done away with the dizzy

[napalm_27]

yup use mega jolt to control the ignition side of things :thumb:

[bmw156]

ok cool, i will have a look into it.

need to decide what to do first lol

Throttle body has no wedge on the throttle flap on a dispack and a different TPS.

Injectors are beige and fuel reg 2.5 bar on a dizzy one. 3 bar and blues on a dispack one.

Dispack engines seem far better in my experience.

[bmw156]

ok cool, i have a wedge TB and a non wedge one, so thats ok. i dont have any injectors lol.

and im unsure what to run lol.

will see what comes up when i have some dollar

Sorry to crash the thread, but do the coscast heads have the waterpipe on the box end or the core plug and no pipe?

[djbrowney]

they have the water pipe lol

the core plugs are only put in for the rwd people iirc

lol thats fine,

where does the water pipe go to?

[djbrowney]

one of your heater pipes !

[bmw156]

lol, i knew an answer like that was coming lol.

thanks

[Spudly]

Ahh, so my mates XE in his corsa is a coscast one then, cool, cheers:thumb:

[napalm_27]

just as a note some coscast heads have a gm stamp on them as well, there has go to be at least 10 differnt styles of xe/let head's about :thumb:

yer, if you see ks stamped anywhere on it it isnt a coscast.

[bmw156]

ok, mine has the GM stamp as well. does this mean its later?

and sloth, would it have the KS as well as the cocast stamp

also why does it mean its not a cocast?

[Sloth]

some heads were made by a company called karl schmidt. his heads have ks, ks700 or ks200 cast into them. usually they have a core plug in the gearbox end of the head and gm logo on that end too. these are theones that have issues. a coscast always has the logo on the underside, and no core plug or gm logo.

[bmw156]

hmmmmm, mine has GM on the gearbox end, but also the cocast stamp

not sure about a core plug tho.

[Lee H]

If it's a dispack head it's a late one. I have a dispack coscast and it also has the gm stamp.
