sri loom, gsi loom

[big joe t]

Hello, dose any body no if a nova gsi engine loom is different too a nova sri engine loom, the gsi is coilpack and the sri's are dizzy type, is there any extra plugs or wires with one or the other? Im putting a sri engine in my nova and have been given a gsi loom to get the engine up and running but have realized that the engines have different methods of makeing a spark, the plug that will have plugged into the coilpack on the gsi ,appears to plug straight into the distributor/ amplifier on the sri. Dose this mean it will work? Will it not work and i will need an sri loom? Or is there a couple of wires i need to change to make it work? Any help will be welcome, thanks.

Yea i have a dizzy mate. An yea i think your right there, a was just wondering wether it would work before i put a wanted post up, ha, thanks for that tho. Has anyone had this same issue?

Most gsi's ran a dizzy aswell, only the later C16's ran coilpack, put up a picture of your loom, it would help us see if it's a C16 or E16 loom you have.

Ah rite a see,sorry a carnt get a pic up till next weekend, do u now what the differences are bettween the looms and i'll take note for next weekend when i'm back on with it? many thanks

The E16 has 2 big plugs, one for the ecu on the bulkhead ( the ignition controller ) and one for the AFM, also there will be an octane RON plug ( later E16's had this but early ones didn't )
I'm pretty sure the C16SE is integral with the car loom but E16SE looms are separate and have a multiplug to connect into the car loom,
This is my GSI with a E16

c14se (sri) and c16se (later gsi) look exactly the same early gsi's and GTE's have EFI on the throttlebody

[bazil]

Did the C14 ever come with a dizzy ? I thought they were all coilpack

[swedge]

the c14 in a nova did yes, only the corsa had the coilpack

[big joe t]

Ah i see. I'll have a good look next time i'm up. It's intresting u say the e16se has a plug that plugs into the car loom as i remember seeing a green plug on this loom with the appropriate wires to join up to the car loom, hmm. This loom comes into the engine bay from the drivers side and feeds over the engine and the last plug on the loom is for the coil, rather than been feed into the engine bay from the passenger side with the car loom like other looms i have seen if you understand what i mean.

[big joe t]

I dont no wether that means its a different loom or not tho.

[bazil]

Sounds like a C16 loom,

The E16 loom joins on the bulkhead, and goes nowhere near the inside of the car
This is the joining plug ( the blue plug is the diagnostic plug )

Yea that looks more like it a would say, the only thing i dont understand is that this loom i have comes in from the drivers side like a valver, maybe is out of a astra im starting to think. Because even a c16se's loom is feed in from the passenger side when taken from a nova if am not mistaken.

[bazil]

I duno mate, I only know the C16 ecu is in the car but I don't know where

[big joe t]

Yea it must be a c16 loom then, al let uno how a come on with it pal.
