Hi people, Im looking for some advice. Im hoping some of you can help me on this matter
Right then, I bought a Cavalier GSi today, Well I went halfs with DazCav on it actually, Daz is having the 16V engine, gearbox, ECU and loom, and Im keeping the rest of it, and I need to fit my Cavalier 8V engine into this GSi.
Could you fine people let me know how difficult/easy this is please.? Im under the impression that it should be a straight forward job really as I have all the required parts, etc from my 8V cavalier, ie ECU engine Loom etc. If you know of anything I should know regarding this transplant that could cause problems, please let me know.
A Few questions I have, are...
1. Is this job straight forward.?
2. Will the ABS still work with my 8V fitted in the GSi.?
3. How difficult willl it be to swop the ECU's and engine loom over.?
4. What linkages will be different(if any) Radiator hoses/Power steering etc.?
5. Will my exhaust from my SRi saloon fit the GSi with my 8V fitted.? (IRS maybe a problem :confused
Well, I think thats all my questions for now, I'll probably come up with some more when work starts.
If you are all wondering why am I doing this, well, its because the shell on the GSi is alot better than the shell on my SRi, although the arches need replacing on the GSi, I don't mind doing that as I was going to do it on the SRi anyway.
Any help/advice on this engine transpant would be very, very useful.
Thanks in advance,
Micky
