Let or vxr have been done in everything. Iv not seen 1 supercharged z22 van yet.

stick with it. Im sure it will turn out hreat in the end.

that's because there isn't one yet lol unless one appears in the next month or so mine will be first 🙂
Adam bring that van to my house ill sort that loom out in a day it's one of the easiest looms to do

adam_cain

ive looked at the loom its got part van loom in and part 2.2 so in the end i didnt bother getting another loom as i just wont rid now but thanks for the offer tho mate i do appreciate it
once this blue one gone im deffo getting another van there no doubt about that i like my astra vans

ive had two before this one
here my first one
its was a 1.6 petrol

adam_cain

and heres my second 320bhp z20let van

Dave_Gilbert

Thats a nice LET.

There's a guy on Facebook with that let van now it's a nice van I love that colour..
I've got a spare dash 2.2 dash loom it just depends if they've fitted the rear loom for the abs etc I've got part of a cab rear loom so the abs and tc is all plugged in.
If you start another 2.2 van there's loads of help on here you could easily do it yourself even if you striped it yourself paid someone to bolt the engine in and then fitted the looms yourself there so easy to do

adam_cain

yeah he called ricky he was the guy who bought it off me
i know they changed the front hubs the rear was already set up with the gsi so not sure what they would of done to be honest ive seen on the passenger side they have joined up like 12/13 wires that goes in the the rear of the van
i would pass on that lol i wouldnt have a clue what to do where to start i would rather pay someone to do it all for me 🙂

5M1THY

Yeah that's him he posts it every now n then lol
I'm sure the rear abs uses 2 thick orange wires the rest will be lights heated window etc the dash loom connects to the interior loom in the passenger footwell there a big plug 2 small ones one blue one green and a smaller clear 2 pin plug.
I reckon you could sort your van in a couple of days tbh it would be the same as mine even if you didn't have cruise control or the mfd it wouldn't stop it from being nice there just extra bits you can play with later

Dave_Gilbert

Get up there n sort it out smithy, u know what your doing, sort it out for adam, restore his faith in man kind. We should all go n see the garage to make him feel better.

adam_cain

i wouldnt even wanna sort any more of it out to be honest i rather just get rid start fresh so i know for myself its been done properly this time but i cant thank everyone enough for the help and the offers to help but next van will be 100% 🙂

Dave_Gilbert

Make sure you get recommendations on the next person you let loose on your van.

Shame cos its a really nice van

adam_cain

ive already put a thread up asking so planning already 🙂

Dave_Gilbert

If you have both vehicles(like you did) you should be able to do it dead easy. Just swapping bits over.

so your looking for another van? N what engine you thinking?

adam_cain

yeah another astra van and wanna do the 2.2 again

Dave_Gilbert

Well.if I was you I would speak to smithy for 1 n carl atleast. You may be able to do it without a garage

5M1THY

my advice would be once you have both cars strip the van and throw all the van parts away or sell them so there no where near the van then build the van up using the coupe parts only. The van is a coupe chassis everything fits the only difference is the shell. It purely a case of swapping parts there only thing that's cut and shut on mine is the plug for the rear lights it's a straight forward conversion really.

adam_cain

i was going to say what do i do with the loom that runs into the back do i just rip it out

adam_cain

donor car possibly

use the coupe loom but keep the van One as the rear light plug is different so you'll need to swap them over..
yeah that's mega money for a coupe you could buy a 2.2 coupe and a brand new b207r engine at full price for that

KevinH

Wow ! that coupé is far too good to be stripped down and used as a donor vehicle :eek:
