Great everyone I’ve spoke to have one from factory. I’m just not sure about the other wires that went to the transponder as the original post only mentions 2 (brown/white and brown/blue) for the immobiliser but my vectra has 7 or do they not matter and I can loop them back on themselves ? Or even a picture of your transponder ?

No need to loop any wires back on them selves. Just connect the ones as per the post. Can't remember if you need to put power and ground into the immob. ring as well. But it is those two on the guide that definitely need to be connected. Can't show the transponder on mine as it's now all hidden behind trim now. Plus the person who made my loom wrapped all the wires in heaps of TESA tape, swear there is at least two rolls in it 😆. You'll know instantly if it's working, as the engine light will stay off and not flash while trying to crank it/ignition lights are on. Also the fuel pump will buzz as well if it's working. Link to Davey's CorsaSport build thread for his swap if you haven't read already. Also a Pre-97 car. www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=458623&page=8

Another progress dump. Thanks to the donor Corsa, I could quickly fire an interior back in. ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/jmotor/ce33c3de0858.jpg) Trim and details slowly went back on. Lining up those arch trims with the bumpers is an utter curse word! Anyway! Before I went too daft. I wanted to know if this thing could pass an MOT, what had I missed putting the car back together. Blinking thing went a passed first time! Excellent. But there was issues after the fact. I'll do another post later on about them.

Now the car was up and running. I had found two issues. Sticky front brake caliper. Easy fix. Less easy was a very noisy fuel pump, weird pressures and strange running. Swapped the pump with my spares car. No different. Next suspect. This EFi Bypass regulator turned out to be not very good. There was no way I was going to be able to adjust the pressure with spring like that in it! I must of not had any fuel returning to the tank, therefore the fuel pump was fighting itself? ![](https://img.retro-rides.org/i/v/jmotor/846bbd3eba47.jpg) Lesson learned. Purchased an AEM branded one. As you can see, this is why I needed one. The new engine runs a deadhead fuel system. Later found out the original Vectra B pump assy. could be fitted into the B tank with little modification, fudge! Now set the pressure and it runs sweet now. Just to take it run to find out if it'll behave. Another couple of jobs done too. New cambelt kit fitted. Shocked at how quickly I got it done and how much space there was. Shame the oil filter is a swine to remove due to a lack of space! Then a steering wheel from another Corsa B.
