hi fella ive done this and had to leave the nova ecu in the engine bay rapped up in a plastic bag, you have a fuel pump wire(red/blue) ignition live (thin black) constant live which goes on to the battery (thick red) and all the other wires are a matter of colour coding on to the corsa loom :)

Ahh right well ive basically gutted the corsa's managment loom when i took the x14xe out, Im left with the loom that does the starter, alternator and speed sensor etc. do i need the managment loom at all?

seems a backward step to me the 14xe is alot more tunable i know of a rally car on carbs with a 1.4 xe running 180bhp obviously alot of work done to it but with mild mods will easily match the 1.6 your fitting and the engine is alot younger
