whats needed to put a Z22SE into a 1.8 car?

NICKYB

hi all, i have a Z22SE engine with airbox, throttle body through to the downpipe & cat from a Vectra b, do i need the full engine wiring loom to fit it into a 1.8 modelled Vectra b?

would that be normally sold seperatly?

also is there anything else that'll be needed?

thanks nick

yes

even the clocks wont run properly

the z22se is not a proper vauxhall engine

imo your bestfinding an x20xev engine and replacing it with the 1.8

The amount of time and money you'd spend doing the conversion wouldn't be worthwhile to be honest.
You could buy a decent enough Vectra 2.2 Sri for about £1k and save yourself the bother.
If the engine is good it will fetch around £500 on its own.
Sell that and your 1.8 Vectra towards it.
