quick question about c20-let loom

[M_U_T_A_N_T21]

currently got a c20-xe in my nova is the loom the same as a c20-let i know id need to change the ecu but are the looms the same

[david dixon]

not the same mate!

[M_U_T_A_N_T21]

what is the difference between the two looms?

[Aragorn]

map sensor, turbo boost control (amal valve) reverse and 1st gear boost cut via ECU and the ecu is an M2.7 instead of an M2.5 too iirc

cheers :D will it be ok to use the f20 gearbox on a standard c20-let i know the f20 is good upto 200bhp an the f28 upto 280-300bhp but will it affect anythink else plus if i do use the f20 will it last longer than a week

[Aragorn]

depends on driving style and how worn the box is

some last a while, some last 30secs

tbh i'd be fitting an f28 if it was me doing the job

Did the later XE's with the dispack not run M2.7?

let must be m2.8 then

[M_U_T_A_N_T21]

so will i have to modify anythink for the f28 to fit i:e gear linkage,driveshafts and obviously ill need the blanking plate for where the transfer box use to sit

[Aragorn]

you'll need at least:

-2wd conversion kit for it
-custom front gb mount - either graft the cav/cally mount onto the nova chassis leg or fabricate some custom bracket (you can get mounting kits but they suck from what ive heard)
-possibly the calibra/cav linkage although im not sure on that[/list]

hmmmm intresting do you know how much the 2wd kits are to buy
