**ecosseM** · by **ecosseM** » Tue Aug 23, 2005 2:26 am

going by the amount outside the fasia for the calibra/cavalier, ad have to say no go... hard enough fitting in the gte lcd. dremil reqired for cutting dash inside to fit it. done though got all working, and use the seat belt warning light as the airbag check control [img]/ohmy.gif[/img]) job start to finish took aprox 5 hrs. that was making a fasia to fit over gte dash, wires, then fitting in.

<span style="font-family:Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%">depending on what car you have its a direct swap ,,,ish</span></span></span>
<span style="font-family:Arial">[/font]
<span style="font-family:Arial">It don't really work in the V6 since it was never built for 6 cylinders, but you can (as Aldo did) change the chip on the dash from a Senator, but you also loose the check control functions...though been told you need to change the module up behind the glove box for the one out of an Astra GTE</span>
<span style="font-family:Arial"></span>
<span style="font-family:Arial">even then you loose some of the check control functions as they where never fitted to the dash like traction control </span>
<span style="font-family:Arial"></span>
<span style="font-family:Arial">16V though is almost a straight swap though still think you need to change the check control module</span>
<span style="font-family:Arial"></span>
[font=Arial]and for those that don't want all that hassle there is a place in Germany that does the conversion all ready to pop right in and still keep the check control bits ....link in one of these posts</span>

<div class='quotetop'>(cobra148)</div><div class='quotemain'>But above you said "The 8v dashes had a half moon rev counter, where as the 16v had the torque curve as the rev counter."
I've had the curved meter in a 16V, they were not used only in 8V's</div>

Yeah..but the torque curve dont match C20XE's actual curve :roll:

People usually shift gear in 5000rpm.. oh my.. C20xe likes to be rev'ed past beyond that [img]/biggrin.gif[/img]

Look at my signature..it's the proper LCD for Calibra [img]/wink.gif[/img]

When fitting this kind of LCD you'll need pulse sensor on gearbox (6 impulse on F20) and another type of 'check control' ECU (the digital one - not the standard analogue)

have one fitted into mine and the revs are just fine ..you do loose the check control system, but there again who really needs a wee light to tell you your washer fluid is low.....you still have the important ones airbag,ABS, oil and low fuel etc etc

Aldo does have the proper Vectra/Cavailer digital dash fitted and has everything working ...infact he has a spare one as well if anyone has a spare Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£500

<div class='quotetop'>(Munt)</div><div class='quotemain'>thats why i want one, 80's best decade EVER!!!!!! in my opinion</div>

You should sell your calibra and buy a Manta then. [img]/laugh.gif[/img]
