help with a lump

[finlay]

hi as some of you no have recently taken over project nova style iv got to the stage of replacing the engine witch I have got out of an astra it a 1.6 8v just need a some for tips will I still be able to use the gsi loom wich is still in the bay is there any think I need off the astra apart from the lump.


Thanx:wink:

1.6 v8

wow never seen a 1.6 V8 before :lol:

well if your gsi is a 1993 with multec injection and the astra was a mk3 and your engine is MPi then your sorted it will all just plug in

if its a mk3 mpi lump and your nova has an older system your gonna need the engine loom and ecu from the astra

if its a mk2 lump its gonna be a carb in which case your gonna have to either convert it to injection by acquiring a nova gsi top end or convert the nova to carb - either way is a bugger so i hope u aint in that latter state :/

Digi dash was a mk2 astra b-j reg (i think)

If this is the case your engine will be a carbed model wich means you dont need hardly any loom just an iginition to switch it.

Why on earth are you fitting a carbed astra engine into a GSi? :?
