Hi. Sorry to revive this thread, but going through the same ordeal as you.. but seems I have a few more gaps than you did
you say x2 4 and 6 are +12v to power ecu? they are the same colour which makes sense.. but then what is x2-1?
and what are the rest?

cheers, Richard

X2 - Blue
1. Relay ECU BN/PK
2 . Ins/Start/Charge WH/BK
3. unknown BN/RED
4. unknown BK/RED
5. 10A Fuse FB7 GN
6. unknown BK/RED
7. unknown BN/PK
8. Relay - Fuel Pump WH/VT
9. INS (elabotate?) GN/BU
10. n/c
11. n/c
12. Relay ECU (related to 1?) GN/PK
13. Engine Cooling (fan) BU/GY

X3- Black
1. Pedal pin 1 YE
2. Pedal pin 2 GN
3. Pedal pin 3 BU
4. Pedal pin 4 BK
5. Pedal pin 5 WH
6. Pedal pin 6 BN
7. n/c
8. unknown BN/BU
9. Immobiliser WH/YE
10. INS (elaborate?) BN/BU
11. Vehicle speed WEG YE/GY - tacho?
12. n/c
13. Fuse 7.5A FB8

hi rik, let me dig out my wiring diagrams/scrawl and i'll get back to you! mine runs now so should be able to help....

X2 pin 1 = bn/pk (pin 87 of relay K18, +12v for fuel injectors) pin 2 = wh/bk (instrument - rev counter) + (start relay K24 pin 9) pin 3 = ? pin 4 = ? pin 5 = gn (+12v FuseBox 7) pin 6 = ? pin 7 = ? pin 8 = wh/vt (+12v for relay coil, pin 85 - fuel pump relay K16) pin 9 = gn/bu (instrument - coolant temp gauge [pulsed signal from ecu]) pin 10 = n/c pin 11 = n/c pin 12 = gn/pk (0v for relay coil, pin 85 - ECU relay K18) pin 13 = bu/gy (0v for relay coil, pin 85 - radiator fan relay) X3 pin 1 = ye (throttle pedal) pin 2 = gn (throttle pedal) pin 3 = bu (throttle pedal) pin 4 = bk (throttle pedal) pin 5 = wh (throttle pedal) pin 6 = bn (throttle pedal) pin 7 = n/c pin 8 = bn/bu (instrument - oil pressure light) pin 9 = wh/ye (immobiliser) pin 10 = bn/bu (instrument - engine management light) pin 11 = ye/gy (ABS pin 3 - speed signal for engine ecu) pin 12 = n/c pin 13 = vt (+12v FuseBox )

off topic but who made the gear linkage piece for you?? also does it select gears properly now?? also did you have to buy the lotus europa driveshafts??

my 2.2 m32 conversion is fine, well worth the hassle and expense, but my raised engine rpm means I need the holy grail of M32 gearboxes and they are hens teeth I used lotus driveshafts and made my own linkage - which is perfect you can use astra 2.0 turbo or 120 cdti M32 driveshafts [NOT VXR or 150cdti], but they are extremely popular with the astra owners

I bought a vectra M32 final drive WR 3.65:1, then fitted the astra vxr internals making it a WR 3.94:1, the corsa vxr has WR 4.18:1 and the holy grail is a CR 4.18:1

I will probably have to buy a brand new CR 4.18:1 gearbox as the car is quite rare and I haven't found a single one being broken for spares

clutch was a pain, but it's now sorted. Courtenay flywheel, Helix hybrid clutch plate (you could use a M32 clutch plate), standard cover and standard M32 slave cylinder with a 15mm spacer.

I'm hoping Jon can sort a new M32 flywheel to do away with the 15mm spacer, I need to give him another call.

again, a big thanks to Vocky for all the help he gave me with getting a grip on the wiring issues. will buy you a beer or 2 if i ever get to meet up. i too made a gear linkage & all seems to be fine, i just need to fabricate some sort of decent reverse gate. just a note regarding the drive shafts though, you can indeed use CDTI shafts, like i did, but you will need a 10mm spacer for the carrier bearing as it locates in a different place on the 2.0 Turbo petrol engines. i had to have one made up, was only £15 though from a retired engineer i use. if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask, i'll try help if i can......

just found out the price for a new M32 CR 4.18:1 ............... £2750 corsa vxr box it is then
