1989 Opel Kadett 2.0 16v
Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2016 3:20 pm
Hi All,
just thought I'd let you know that my 1989 Opel Kadett (LHD Mk2 Vauxhall Astra) is now up and running on a Microsquirt V3
I had originally got it all running, MOT'd etc. early 2015 on an MS1 which I had built years ago.
Unfortunately, it appears that at some point I had damaged the MS1, so I figured I'd save myself the time as I asl couldn't find my Stim anymore either...
Engine wise it's a C20XE
Running Bosh 305 CC injectors out of a C20LET, but at the stock 2.5 Bar, so flowing approx 280cc/min.
I'm using the stock 60-2 wheel and VR sensor, settings @ 114 deg.
I'm using a Vauxhall DIS coilpack as found on the c16xe / 14xe /18xe etc. engines - basically as found on the mid 90's to early 2000's Vauxhalls, which I've mounted on an adaptor where the distributor used to be. pretty simple to use - Earth, Ignition and 2x 5v spark inputs
I've also got a LC1 in there - basicall also from a few years back... seems to work OK for now
I had saved my old fuel and spark tables, which I imported - the car fire up right away, although it died after a few seconds...
I figured I'd need to mess around with the ASE and WUE settings, so I set them to roughly what I had on the MS1.
Fired up and kept going!
Currently running on semi / 2 squirts alternating with 1&4 / 2&3 injectors linked together.
The plan is to get it MOT'd again, then there is soe work required (new clutch, timing belt, maybe sort out some new gaskets). At this point, I have a set of 2003 Kawasaki ZX636 B1 throttle bodies which I'll be fitting
Thanks again to those who have helped me out over the last few years with my misendeavours on the MS1...
Thanks
Mathew
