Opel Ascona '78 With Honda Ecu

Strange project got started here... Car is an Opel Ascona of the 1978. Car is 2.6liters Opel block head is from the 6 cylinder engine 24valve head was cut to be fitted in the 4 cylinder engine, and make it 16 valve (those cars were 8 valve). Honda P30 ecu with all the sensors and distributor is fitted and the gearbox is from an S2K! Till now car has a perfectly stable idle at 1200rpm (it is running ITB's from a BMW that were made to match)... More to follow and maybe tommorrow i 'll have some pics. Car is participating in the Greek drag scene but never worked with all other ecu's owner tried... Honda ecu seems to be the solution till now

IÂ´m very much looking forward to it! I own an Opel myself (Calibra Turbo) and it would be nice to show the Opel geeks here that thereÂ´s a much better engine management solution out there than megasquirt

That is EXACTLY what this car is made for target audience is all those calibra and GSi guys outhere... For those that don't understand Opel, is GM, is Vauxhall.

I would highly suggest you resize the pictures. 3mb per picture is very excessive. We do appreciate it, but many people don't have the ability to auto-resize the pics. BTW is it this car?: http://www.ferretsdomain.co.uk/1978-opel-ascona/

You would benefit greatly from a TunerView LCD in your dash.
