sri to gsi conversion!

[alan b]

right i hav been offered a c16se engine with a dispak, and a have an sri with a distributer, now i dont want to change my loom, will the gsi ecu plug into my sri loom and then if so how will i work the coil and ditributer?

[macc nova]

iirc you dont have to change the loom, its just a matter of unplug the sri one then plug in the gsi one. not sure about the dizzy and coil though

[Adam]

You will have to change the loom.

[Riggy]

yes the sri is a full loom the engine part does not remove like it does on dizzy gte/gsi engine's

the c16se is also the same style where you can not unplug the engine , so as ad said your goin to have to swap the looms

[alan b]

its the gsi engine that looks exactly like an sri with the map sensor and no airflow? u sure ill have to change loom? the dizzy bit seems the only difference?

[Riggy]

yes

[Adam]

The dizzy bit is the only difference.
Which is why you need change/mod the loom.
You HAVE to run DISpak on c16se, as no c16se's came with dizzy, so the ecu's cant run a dizzy.

[alan b]

ya but will the ecu plug in? then i cud just run the dispak wires thru the rear pisser hole( dont have a pisser anyway!) then connect them into the loom beside the ecu plug?

[Adam]

Not sure if it will plug in, i'd say yes as the management is very similar.
You might have to have a look at the looms to make sure, and make sure theres no extra wires on the c16.
