So good news & some not so good news then.
C20XE has lambda btw & 20XE doesnt.
The blue one was running spi lines, and one of them ruptured. Now this could have either been just a bad line or it was the fuel pressure that did it. Either way, i'll never run them again as you can imagine.Quote:

Its Jacks car at the end of the day, If he wants to run these lines, its his choice. The opinions on this thread are all valid as we all know what we're doing. :thumb:
Jack, check the manifold for a lambda, despite being under the fecking car fro hours, i never noticed if it had one lolQuote:

Is there a joke here
How many PNG members does it take to change an engine...........
I use 8mm copper line now anyway, its cheap enough. Just you could rough **** it if you wanted, just not a good idea lol.

omfg I touched the nova lol
I've put the 20XE wiring loom in place, most of the wires have connected up with no problems but I've got a couple left over which I'm not sure about. There's two on the gearbox side of the loom:

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...0012008042.jpg
Does one of them connect to this?
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...0012008046.jpg
I've also got this coming off the engine which I'm not sure what it is. Doesn't appear to be a connector in the loom to suit it:
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...0012008052.jpg
Finally, next to this connector is a little tab (just to the right of the connector block) - when the C20XE loom was connected to the engine, it had a separate wire with a female spade connector which clipped onto the top; however the 20XE loom doesn't have this wire. Am I right in thinking its something like oil pressure?

the one comming from the sump round connector with 2 pins, just cut it off, its a low oil level light i think lol
the bit you called the little tab is the water temp, the red plug thats in your hand is for the knock sensor im sure found under the inlet attched to the block, the other i aint to sure
yes the little tab as you called it should have a blue wire connected to it for the temp gauge the one on the sump you don't use as it's the oil level sensor and the oil light on the nova works on preusser and the two near the box go to the knock sensor and the idle speed control valve witch are at the rear of the engine under the inlet manifold
That other plug is for the icv iirc (silver thing in your pic)
You hairy buggerlol
lol, dont worry about them jack, ill sort when im up next.
If you do want a job you could plumb it in though :)
Radiator and etc?
I'm guessing the best way to sit the rad in place is to remove the exhaust manifold and slide it in from below?
above mate
best way is to remove fan from rad , and fit that, then refit fan ,
best way IMO is cut out the bar on the fron of the car that goes vertically from slma panel to lower X-member.
Remove grill, then the rad/fan will go in nicely through that gap!
Nobody minces like I do. My car doesn't run but I still faff about with pointless stuff

Not fixed in place yet so its not quite level, but goes on rather well :D
Is that a proper GM spoiler for a loon Jack?
P.s. May be able to sort you out with a snow plough front too mate :thumb:
EDIT: Linking the shiny tie bar brackets too
Its not GM, but I have a feeling I know where it came from though.
Painted a few bits today, TCAs, tie bar brackets and alternator pulley (had it lathed down to single V yesterday). Poly bushes will be going in the TCAs and brackets tomorrow :D
^ You feeling alright Jack? You seem to be knuckling down some what lol lol
lol hes actully done something..
ps have you unwrapped that brace yet? bet it took awhile my mum was there ages wrapping it up round and round with the tape lol
Yeah, took a while to get into it lol
Actually my lungs are burning a bit, but I put that down to using some meths in the garage. With the door shut. Whoops :tard:Quote:

As per the fecking way of the project, it fought us some of the way, right down to the final wiring where the engine harness had black with a yellow trace for switched live, and blue for fuel pump!! Uber gay! Lots of mincing in scrapyards removing loads of obscure stuff like eath straps and terminal cables etc :) Had a fun couple of days!
Next week, we intend to finish it :) Wheelspins up the track! W00t lol
i need pics!
me too ,
Sounds like you boys made some headway today then? good.
Thats 2 more SW Novas showing some promise.
