You have to spread the circlip in the CV and keep it spread. Then give the CV a light tap with a mallet to persuade it to fall off.

BTW, uploader.co.uk has gone offline

Wiring is a peice of cake.
Brown/ yellow or brown/ blue = fault light depending on age of engine.
Brown/ white = ground this to flash codes.
Black = ignition feed, connect to the black near the coil is best.
Green = tacho feed, again, there's a convnient one near the coil.
Red = +ve, straight to battery.
Red/ blue = fuel pump. Connect to the fat terminal on the pump, via a 20A fuse. Ground the other side to the chassis somewhere.
All the rest you can just tape up.

dint think it was that simple. wot fuel pumps do u guys use wen u do your conversions?

***Astra Dan*** · 08-07-2004, 17:24

Any external one will do fine. My 20XE Nova runs on a 1.6 GTE pump, jubilee clipped to the rear chassis. As long as you're not running loony power it's fine. You'll need an injection tank, too ideally.

JimmyFlo · 08-07-2004, 17:26

back to the wiring again sorry. so all i have to do is plug the ecu in and all the sensors etc then make the connections u told me and thats it?? can i use my sr ignition coil etc then?

***Astra Dan*** · 08-07-2004, 18:02

No, you'll have to use the coil that matches the engines.
But yes, plug all in and make those connections and away she goes.

JimmyFlo · 08-07-2004, 18:05
