What wiring to i need to take out the donor car its a 1.6 corsa sport engine is x16xe please help .
just the engine loom that connects to the ecu, you dont need the starter loom, youll need the bit that screws into the gearbox too if it has an immobilisor
Also a silly question what do you do with the fuel lines and connectors.
I'm putting into a carb model.
Get the hose connectors off the donor car that connect to the fuel rail, there's 2 the return and feed and then join them onto your new copper pipe or whatever your using
Right I've got mine in and wired up. Took it all out of the donor Tigra and using the same ecu chip and transponder. It fires up and cuts out after a second or 2? The purple relay clicks on then clicks off and the engine cuts out. It did do this a couple of times in te Tigra so I'm gonna try a new relay tmoz. Any other ideas people?
start a thread in the mechanical section for a start. people will help you
i will, just thought id try here too,
Anybody got the part number or a picture of the alternator belt tensioner that you need from the Corsa Sri 16v? As that's all this thread is missing.
I used the following parts for my wide belt setup
90571112 - Bracket (approx £50)
11085834 - Extra bolt for the bottom of the bracket (approx £1.70)
90412884 - tensioner (approx £110)
11098351 - bolt for tensioner to alternator bracket (approx £1.70)
93182243 - Alternator belt (approx £25)

Cheaper alternative for the tensioner.
Cheers just got the tensioner and belt from autovaux :thumb:
Is there any downside to not connecting the throttle body coolant hoses other than the possibility of it freezing? I take it one hose connects to the heater matrix hose and the other goes to the header tank hose?
Yeah that's how they connect but I cut the heater matrix pipe when I took the engine out of the Tigra, and my header tank only has one return so I haven't got it connected and I cannot see any downside to not having it.
Couple of quick questions.
I've noticed that digi dash transducer has same 3 wires as a VSS. So can I use a digi dash transducer to feed the clocks and ECU? Bearing in mind the VSS is AA and the transducer is AK.
Do I need to use an in line fuse in the fuel pump red/blue wire?
I would run an inline fuse for the pump just to be on the safe side. My last C16XE Nova just used feeds from the Digi Dash speed sender so it should be okay.
the c16 you dont need a vss, but the x16 you do, i run it with my digi clock vss for about 8months with no problems buddy, juest earth, ign live and split the signal wire in 2 and one goes to clocks and other to transponder
C16 wiring diagram in the haynes shows the ECU as using a speed signal sender so probably best using it as it's designed to use it....
Thanks for the advice.
And C16XE deffo needs VSS because my loon used to cut out every time the revs dropped then stopped doing it after I fitted a VSS.
Yes both 16xe engines need the vss, I'm now running mine on the digi dash and transducer too.
Yep as above it's primarily used for coast down, you'll see people complaining of stalling at junctions without one. On the X engines it just happens to have been used for the immobiliser also.
Here is how I did my alternator belt, might help others.
Not sure if it will work, only one way to find out when engine goes in. lol
I used a 1.2 8V alternator elongated bracket thing then flattened it down a bit in the vice till I was happy with it, then tension it with a bar and tighten up.
Had to trim it a bit at the top because it was catching on the throttle body.

And belt I used.

I ended up getting the tensioner and bracket from my local Vauxhall breakers (RIBooth) for £10 they're the same off Zaria X18XEL and astra mk4 1.4 1.6 too.
Came across a problem today while trying to fit the transducer in the box.
It sticks out quite a bit:

Side by side with the standard VSS:

No teeth on the diff ring?

So apart from getting another box, what else can I do?

Why can't you use the electrical transducer? They have the same 3 wires I think?????
Because digi dash probably wont work?
And I can't be bothered wiring in the Tigra clocks lol
I thought it would work the same, I've never tried it tho, I just presumed it would.
why not just use a 1.2 spi transponder and nova clocks? but i used a vss from a astra gte for didgi clocks
Problem is not with the choice of transducer. The white bit that spins doesn't fit.
What gearbox and engine code are you using.
My C16XE's with F15's have both been the cog style speedo drives.
Its a X16XE out of a W reg Tigra using original box, I think its F15.
you need to use a gearbox with the cog drive, not with the gap gear as you have.
How many wires are on the tigra vss? 2 or 3? the option is to find a wiring diag that tells you what is what.
Oh bugger, so i presume ill also have this issue with my x16xe froma w reg corsa sport with f15??
3 wires same as Nova vss and astra digi dash transducerQuote:

That's why I thought they would work, wire it up the same and see if it works. The N reg Tigra I broke had a cog drive F15, but the loom still had the plug ready for the vss. But the W reg 1.7d combo I put the V6 in had the electric vss, I thought they would just work the same tbh.
I think you're missing the point, if I use the standard VSS I won't have a speedo.
It will wire up to a digi dash
Cable drive speedo/vss with cog box, or gap gear vss with digdash.
I'm about to put a X16XE out of a Corsa Sport in my Nova. This is probably a stupid question but can I use the whole Corsa front "mechanical" end (engine, gearbox, hubs, brakes, driveshafts etc) and bolt it all into the Nova or are the Corsa's differant?
