Mines a '96 astra and has a immobiliser pickup/chip in the key, so mines immoblised too but i really dont know what it immobilises as everything is mechanical???
Theres loads of 1.7 td's about in scrappies to rob a turbo off

Judging by the wiring i'd say its just a very basic setup where the little black box waits to sense the chip and when it does it allows the starter solenoid wire to be powered up (via the yellow relay?)Quote:

Makes sense really going by your explanation.
I remember speaking to Count Vaux about gearboxes, I assume you use the big block gearbox thats attached to the turbo engine??
So I need some bigblock shafts??
What about the clutch?
1.7td are small block f17 box's iirc
Hey,
I currently have a 1.5TD Corsa and am going to mod the engine. I want to change the inlet to the 1.5 one and re-route through a intercooler as in Count's old GSi rep Corsa.
Just a couple of questions,
What size is the inlet?
Do I need to modify it in anyway?
Would a Sierra Cosworth intercooler fit?
Cheers.
Kel
My combo's N/A 1.7 is smallblock, but a brief look at the Astra's 1.7TD setup shows big block driveshafts and CV'sQuote:

indeed 1.7 gearboxes are big block boxesQuote:
