evocarlos corsaZ22se said: with your crank sensor could you not get the crank pulley machined and use an external sensor. keep the 60-2 trigger wheel on the crank incase you decide to go stand alone ecu in the future? getting a ring made to fit the bottom pulley the same as you would use with an aftermarket ecu just waiting on feedback 🙂
corsaZ22se I need 2x 60-2 trigger wheels, 1 for stand alone ecu and 1 for the abs/speedo/rev counter to see engine speed via corsa's own ecu.
evocarlos Sjdickso said: What's going to be the process to wedge them, I see most z20lets wedge them nowadays. they have to 🙂 unless they go for a cast block from the 1980's lol well i'll be drilling and plugging the same as LET would have the waterways wedged found it very hard to find info on the ecotec they all seem to go for closed deck or darton liners both these option make the cost of just the block in excess of £2k or more ive spent £6 so far lol here's a pic of a wedged let heres the images i found of a wedged LSJ
evocarlos ahh poo more money to spend wonder if there the same as the head bolts there only £26 a set cradle bolts are torque to yield http://www.crateenginedepot.com/Ecotec-Main-Girdle-Bolt-11571239-P10519C661.aspx
