[adaptorman]

ps when i change this large coil pack to the sim vectra one ,do the ht sockets still fit in the same place  if not dose anyone have a possible daigram of were the go ,,,,

I didnt think the Omega pack was that big tbh...same basic engine in the Vectra so cant see why the pattern should be any different??

[Kevin Wood]

I assume you normally have a MAF sensor connected to the inlet?

Any trouble codes stored in the engine ECU?

Impressive street sleeper though.

i have to laugh at this thread.. quite impressive i must say and well done you for getting a 2.5 to fit.. and run in a vw flatbed

if it'll have an ex police 70 then that is rather fast..... my volvo has a flat spot in midrange but has my mates remapped vrs at bottom end and top end lol

By redtop do you mean an C20 Series lump? as how can a 4 cyl EMS run a 6 Cylinder engine

or do you mean the Cavalier V6 ECU off a C25XE Engine? use the vectra v6's ecu the connectors are all the same as a C25XE also i dont see a MAF in your pic?

hi pal the inejcton system is off a calbia xe2.5 v6 redtop  ,which all changers on to the 3.0 ex ecotec engine ,as the mafs on the intake which u carnt really see in the pics

[adaptorman]

hi all havin a bit of a problem with the redtop engine (2.5) converted to 3.0 ,evern thow i fitted new ht leads/plugs crank sensor ,the engine always fires up ,as its idioling from cold approx 1500rpm ,soon as the engine starts to get warmed up then dam thing will do a drop in revs and rev up and down ,
ive also
changed maf/checked for air leaks/another coilpack and clean and end up replaceing the dam idiol control valve , and its stil doing it ,as i can feel the revs hesitant ,and i can hear the feil pressure up and down ,which odd times it will suddernly/partly /upexspected cut out at a juntion then instantly fire back up and be ok for a while ,evern checked and wd/40 wireing plugs,dam thing still doing it any ideas,,,,
