In Norway we use the German word for Vauxhall (Opel) I think it's some few cosmetic shanges between Opel and Vauxhall, but the engine is probably the same
If you say 150bhp, it's probably what i have in this car. (With original ECU)
Maybe i ask you some questions if there is something i wonder about, if it's okay for you?
Yes, i will update you people as soon as it happend things here.
Ask away mate, if I can help I will. By Vauxhall, I mean Opel for you. The Calibra or Omega 2.5 V6 injectors are the ones you want. They're top feed and fit straight into the Sierra fuel rail. Only thing you need to watch for, is the injectors sit in a plastic housing, these normally crack or split when they get old, you'll need to replace them or you'll be leaking fuel.
@Glen. You can get them to idle like that. There's an idle speed control screw on the throttle body and you can wind that in or out to get the desired idle speed. Only problem is as the valve isn't conntected, things like power steering could stall the car when stationary as the ecu don't know how much to compensate it by. And if the valve itself is unblocked, you'll be pulling in unfiltered air. I think K&N make an adaptor plate for it so it bolts on right next to the throttle body and you can do away with the intake pipe altogether and bolt the filter direct to the adaptor plate
