Thats the ABS Module your on about, you have about 22 Module's throughout the car, the engine ECU is just one of them. On the Vec C's lots of the module's are coded to the car or have specific ident codes depending on spec. The Vec C's a pig, my headlight switch has a specific ident code and may not work with your car, its this whole Canbus thing that sets the C and newer Gen Vx's apart from any other VX. Have you ever seen an engine swap to another size in the C.... I only know of one and they had to do a full body loom transplant from a doner car.i had a look under the bonnet on mine and theres 2 ecus anyway(not sure what each 1 does) but 1 is just under the throttle body(same as all z22se engines carl says) and 1 is on the passenger side stut so it could be 1 for the engine and 1 for all the canbus and other bits n bobs but i ant got 1 clue on that
that was my way of thinking with the estate as wellwell thats my thinking(nobody has done it before so would be nice to say mine was the first)
iv just found his car in the garage, i like his charger its very shinyyeah mine and @2.2 SRI 150 were in total vauxhall ,hes now breaking his so might be worth getting in touch with him for bits
mines a tad over 400 fully comp with supercharger and all other mods ,exhaust,bumper,lights ,alloys,lowering ,think it went up about 100 with the scwhats insurance like?? does have to be specialized or modified or what?
The problem is the Vec C has 20 odd "brains" that communicate with each other. Even a head unit swap isnt straight forward. If you want to swap a stock HU for another stock HU you have to divorce the doner HU from the first car via Tech 2 then marry it to the new car.Yeah but surely there's a way of removing the entire brain of the vectra and changing it to an Astra I dunno how it would work with the instrument panel but there must be a way. My brother in law used to have pug mi16 management running his cosworth and everything worked like it should obviously abit easier being older but I can't believe it can't be done lol
