As far as i know this hasnt been done before has it?But for anyone who has put one in a corsa/nova i was just wondering about wiring etc.i have a mk3 Astra Lreg with the complete engine in bar downpipe and airbox but the guy before me hasnt got it running some BS about hes run out of money and lost touch with his mate who does the wiring for him and just lost his job etc.I was wondering where the airflow meter is on the ecotech as the airbox seems to have mysteriously not been put on and got a sneaky suspicion this is where it is!
Can anyone help?
P.S everything is there bar airbox and downpipe but he went to all the trouble of fitting this to this stage and didnt finish what do you think?

From memory I believe the air meter is not on the airbox. It's in the intake trunking from the airbox to the throttle body along with the air temp sensor. If the trunking is missing then these parts will be too.
I'll keep eyes 'n' ears out for replacements if their missing;)

Depends what engine it is... The C16XE (Corsa GSi Engine) isn't immbolised, I think it's only the new engine's such as the mk4 Astras, and new corsa's that pack these immboliser's tigras older corsa's etc don't have em...

the C16XE Airflow meter is attached to the back of the air box...

If you fitting this engine, you may want to take a look at the bottom pulley, the Pulley is wide belt to run air con, if you don't have air con the belt will be too wide.

Easiest thing to do is find a V-belt alternator and a V belt bottom pulley thats running CRANK SENSOR TEETHING!!!!! as the crank sensor is running on this pulley and get a V-belt drive belt.

A Nova SRi run's with this V bottom pulley
