I like it but can't see it being a common conversion due to having to be on standalone management and live mapping

Styled to perfection then, it's a nice looking motor in all fairness.

Doesnt have the be any more you can buy a box that goes between the ecu and loom tricking it in to thinking the canbus is all there.

hmm. surely we'de all know about it already, if a magic box solved the problem.

Next time you see the vxr kit cars at pv check the box out behind the motor about the size of a i phone but twice as thick.
Did you see the orange kaddet d on the cover of tv two years ago? he,s a friend of mine and has put a vxr corsa engine in a kaddet coupe

Not the first time a "new" Engine has been put in older stuff......

Not seen one of these units for the vaux engines but they are around!!
