Retro-fit distributor to C20XE
alice - 21/2/14 at 09:36 PM

Hi, I am having real trouble finding a ECU, wiring loom and ancillaries for my C20XE red top, could anyone tell me if I can retro fit a distributor/ignition because I am thinking of fitting bike carbs to solve all my ECU problems. Any help in this area would be most appreciated.

Covert it to Megajolt ?

Megajolt, or preferably the nodiz one, as it can use vauxhalls own crank position wheel and sensor, rather than bolting on a ford 36-1 wheel on it
Prices about the same for both units I think? MJ may cost more in trigger wheels and brackets though

Thats the way forward really as its only £125 + a coil pack+trigger wheel, but if you really want to save anymore cash then you need a dizzy off an old Cav or Astra and the coil(old round style. The wiring is pretty straight forward if i remember correctly(20 yrs ago lol).

where are you based?? I'd need to look but i'm pretty sure i have a full engine loom and ecu from a c20xe cavvy here somewhere. It came from a running car ( my donor ). Would be good if someone could confirm the ecu part no ( or bosch no) as i have a few ecu's here but know some are from a 2ltr SOHC engine. Also got inlet manifolds anf throttle body ( x2 ).

Hi is your engine loom is a distributor type or a ignition pack , what type of ecu series have you got ; and how much for ecu/loom


omega 24 v6 - 25/2/14 at 06:14 PM

The loom is a dispack loom not dizzy. The ecu series i'll need to check. Ecu is somewhere here the loom is in another place but i'll check it out before the weekend. Can you send me your email addy via a U2U and i'll send you some pictures of whats what.
