they are referred to as eco****
Yeah, completely wrong tho.

Nowt wrong with Eco's.
With a nice exhaust, just as powerful as tired XE's, and smoother power delivery than xe.

[nova~norm]

i was one of the ppl who said xe's were the best but they are getting old (good ones are dear as ****)eco tec's are cheaper and just as quick with bit tuning!easyer to get also!so does any 1 know any 1 who has done this?

cheers scott

(ps no more ppl post eco tec's are **** as thats not what am askin)

cheers

Arent they just the same power as a 2litre 8valve? And if they are, surely the old 8v would be even cheaper to buy than ecotec?

[nova~norm]

136bhp fom a 2l 16v eco

old 8v is goin the same way as the old red top but with less power

eco tec is a 16v so kinda has to pull better then a old 8v

[Adam]

Nah, there more powerful than any 2.0 8v.

To answer the first question, yeah its the same as fitting an XE.
But they have the Immobiliser system, so you need to remove that part of the loom from around the ignition barrel, and the transponder out the ignition key.

[nova~norm]

but does a corsa sport not have that too?so would u not just leave it?or leave the corsa Immobiliser system?or get the key & ignition barrel from the eco donner car?

has any 1 saw this done b4?

[Adam]

Yeah.
But i think each one is coded, so the chip/barrel on the corsa sport wouldn't work with the Eco 2L ecu.

Not 100% sure on that tho.

[nova~norm]

o rite so would b best with every thing from donner car!time to fine a dameged car!will need to b recoded 4 rcl any way wont it?

cheers scott

Thats what i'd do, find a MOT failure Cavvy Sri or something.

Nick the engine,loom, immobiliser loom.

And sell the rest, brakes etc.

I saw one going for ?150 the other day, and it had mot too, Lol.

[nova~norm]
