V6 engine differences

[Dod]

Ok, you have the 2.5, 2.6, 3.0 and 3.2.

Are the engine blocks different as I've been told yes and no? Also, I know the 2.6 and 3.2 are fly by wire, can they be converted to cable?

[blue_peg_16v]

2.6 and 3.2 are fly by wire but you can used the inlet and auxileries eiring ecu etc off either a 2.5 or 3.0 so can be converted

there are a few vectra bs running 3.2s and you just use everything off the 2.5 even the ecu

[Dod]

Would the fact the 3.2 is running a 2.5 management not decrease the power?

[david dixon]

you can even use the c25xe inlets on a 3.2 and to be fair i find it the best system to use, the vectra b type is utter sh!te imo

not normaly but you may need to get the 2.5 management maped or chiped but the ecu will usualy cope with the change

[Dod]

Nice. So any engine with the 2.5 Inlets is the best option. I like that. :D Cheers folks.

[david dixon]

as long as its the c25xe inlets

David, pm on route mate. ;)

Whats that got to do with me? :confused:

2.5 ecu will runit just fine, as motronic "learns" the engines paramaters.
try the vvoc mate

[Dod]

Well the engine has arrived and the fun is about to start.

Will the 2.5 ECU fit the 2.6 Wiring loom or do I need the 2.5 loom as well?

[david dixon]

you need everything from a c25xe mate, the inlets, the loom and ecu etc, the sensors have different ends too

David

[Dod]

Ooh, **** that. Seems a 2.5 would have been handier all round. I might just try and work with what I have. An AFM and thats it complete.

[david dixon]

those 2.6's have a ecu attached to the engine mind mate..... you going to give yourself some chew there!

David

[Dod]

RRVeight on here does all my wiring and he's top notch so I'll leave it in his hands, and as the car is complete and running its all a good start.

[david dixon]

ok mate, good luck! if you need anything give me a shout

David.

[Dod]

Cheers David, let me know about the AFM dude.

[david dixon]

will do mate

David.
