The 2.0 ecotech is big block, so you'll need mounts and shafts etc.

[JordyzNova]

yes ino i can get a mount easy and they just use standerd gsi shafts 22splines yes ???
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

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:
