How are you doing the accelerator cable im useing a nova one but it seams slack so its delaying the revs??
use one from a corsa sport/gsi or a mk3 astra 1.4/1.6 16v or a tigra lol
Just realised im running a nova tb on a dbilas inlet so it has a nova cable but couldnt fit a corsa cable
Just a quick one..... Can you use the original alternator from the sport? Ad get belt to fit?
If there's room obviously?
Most people have been able to use the std alt with std widebelt only a few have had issues and needed V belt
Cheers mate! Il have to wait and see, itl be a few weeks till I get it in thow lol
Il new needing lots of help lol lol
Theres no way mine would clear with the wide belt set-up. Seems the engine bay tolerances are as good as the rear beam lolQuote:

I prob have a pic, I'll see what I can find later. It was close and it was a pain to fit the belt with the engine in, But never caught.
I have a pic of the auto tensioner you need from a non aircon, non pas corsa, Its part of the lower alternator mount, This is one of the things that is hard to find, But its on par with the trigger bottom pully you need for V belt so swings and roundabouts lol
Could you not just mod the chassis leg to compensate?
I was planning on making an alt bracket to adjust tension on the alt itself?
Just taking full loom out now but how much of it can i get rid of ? its for track car so just need enough for it to run,

wats the vss and where should it be located on the doner car
vehicle speed sensor screws into the gearbox where the speedo cable goes, thr cable then screws in on top of it
it has 3 wires on it 1+ 1 earth and 1 signal wire im sure
oh dear, mine doesnt have a speed sensor on the box, just has a litle blanking plate. Should it still work it i just dont connect the vss wires up.
You'll probably find it'll try to stall at junctions without the VSS.
Rite so this is where i am with the wiring. Iv connected some of it in, and i have crossed some wires off that im hopin i wont need. Will it still work without these wires connected.
I cant try it yet as i dont have the pump and tank yet. Many thanks for help.

You need the VSS else the car will stall everytime you slow right down, and it means it can run rough sometimes. You will want the EML working if you have any issues, its only one wire, connect it! and why arent you wanting a rev counter?
Im only wanting to kno if will work like this for now as i dont have an EML VSS or a rev counter
Just a quick one but what do i connect the coolant temp wire upto? Its the thick blue one from the dash cluster. I dont have the standard ECU mind, its a DTA s40. I presume i can't just connect this into the ECU's sensor as its a twin wire CTS on the C16XE?
Phaser how have you connected your temp sensor?
The dash guage is different to the CTS. The dash is a single blue with a spade connector that fits at the back of the thermostat, it's little more than a brass stub with a pin thing on the top for a spade to slide onto. The CTS has two pins and is connected as per the DTA wiring diagram, this is also mounted at the thermostat. Can't remember if the socket if blue or black, tempted to say blue.
Right i shall look for this when i go upto the car!!! Was only aware of the one sensor around the CTS and thats the one thats connected to DTA! Thanks again!
What fan belt is this does anyone know as i need one for when mine goes in and iv remooved the power steering pump so my old one is miles too big, cheers Phil.Quote:

Can anyone tell me if this is the right centre section for my conversion cheers. Its a c16xe i have the original manifold and front pipe.
use a corsa sri 16v belt buddy or what i did was measure it with a piece of string went down to my local motor factors and said i need a belt this long but this witdh ect just take your old one as a reasurance to
Cheers mate got it sorted now, when i first got on the phone to the motor factors we use through work they just said no but i rang back the next day, spoke to someone else and they said they had them in stock and sent me one out :D
doe's anyone have any photo's of where i need to cut the exhaust to make it fit?
you basicly just have to mount the manifold and line everything up and mark it
what swedge said
I have a std o.e spec mild steel exhaust system (manifold back) maodfied to fit o.e std x14 and x16xe in a nova, for sale if anyone wants it/measurements off of it?
Good Guide. Used it to do my smallblock XE conversion. Big Thanks :thumb:
would this all be the same for a 2liter eco tec ??
The 2.0 ecotech is big block, so you'll need mounts and shafts etc.Quote:

its more off the wiring side than anything because im not sure how they wire the transpoonder and key like. ive told the wiring is near enuf the same as a redtop to wire into the car
thanks
transponder wiring is all in here
I have just taken delivery of my C16XE conversion with the original gearbox.
This part below isn't on the end of the speedo cable where it mounts to the box. Is the VSS in a different location on the Corsa and needs this unit from an Astra retro fitting? I seem to remember last time I did it I had a unit like the one below but I also had the digidash conversion which used the box mounted speed sensor.

Okay, found my answer to the question above.
New question...
How many pulses does the VSS need to produce?
AA - 6 PULSES - 90148828
AF - 15 PULSES - 90009089
AY - 2 PULSES - 90320053
Simon, I used the AA transducer on my old C16xe conversion without any issues.
Cheers Southie. I don't know if this is of use to anyone but I'll post it in here being a resource for fitting the engine.
I bought the speed sensor from this site:

Am fitting a X14XE out of my Corsa sport, it never had a VSS, do I need one?
