C16XE engine is still an EcoTec engine just without EGR valve etc.

Earlier C16XE engine is the better one for tuning.

ok kewl- yer my dials have an EPS lite on them. In theory they should all be compatable anyways I hope! lol Im gunna book some time off to put the engine in when he takes it out, the lads fitting a valver

i thought all ecotec engines ran off a map sensor as opposed to air flow meters.

hence id say looms are completely different. (i was gonna buy pre ecotec loom for my car when my loom went on fire but there different.)

anyway your buying everything with engine. and if u need the key and sure youll get it with engine - just remember to ask the seller if car had immoby.

all GSI's had hydraulic power steering, though 1.2 16v maybe the later electronic power steering, whereas early ones have hydraulic

do u get the EPS light on your dash (inside the rev counter) when you turn the ignition?

What is to be done about power steering? my SXi has it but I aint sure the donor car has, Im trying to cover every angle u see,Im guna go see the lad today or tomoro but I should be able to fit the poer steering onto the lump neways as theyre both corsa lumps and some gsis had powersteering as an option didnt they?

yeah pretty sure the 1.0 12v has it aswell but i expect it will be different in a few ways,but this should come on the engine wiring any how

you sure?

wots the point in all that power when u dont use it? ever?

Oh I;)
And when is Rob planing on fitting this?
It will never be as fast as mine:lol:
I will help though:thumbs:

Yeah, no immobiliser on the c16xe, the loom is piss to fit, just a 9pin plug that should fit onto your car loom.

c16xe doesnt have immobiliser as std after 1996 vaux introduced immobilisers as std and by then its the ecotec x16xe

fuel pumpwill be fine
u need the chip and imbo unit off the old engine other wise the 1.6 will never start

bounce baby

Ive just put me deposit down for a pre ecotec gsi lump- its a gud price and has all driveshafts, zorst, ecu etc with it- I know the engine should just slot straight in, things worrying me are the chip that may b in the key for the engine, and the fuel pumps and pipes- can anyone shed some light? will the wiring looms be radically different?
