Thanks, Jonathan. I already have the Assembly Guide, hardcopy that originally came with the kit as well as a pdf that you kindly provided previously! This thread just made me think that there might be a better wiring diagram with some more details on the original ECU (long gone from my car).

I stumbled on this topic while just surfing around. I have a '93 Vauxhall HPC on carbs and would really appreciate the wiring diagram if anyone still has one around. Thanks, Ken

Very interesting. Thanks!

So a question, what was the purpose of all of the rest of the plate that is now discarded?

Thanks for the replies. I think 60mm will be just right.

Thanks for the reply. I just did the search and none with a Caterham logo, which is what I would like. I guess my real question is what is the diameter of the Caterham wheel center cap or stick on nose badge (not stated on the parts website) so I will know if it will work in place of a horn push button?

I'm putting a 12 1/2" Momo from EBay on my QR hub to replace a smaller wheel. It didnt come with a horn button, nor would one work with my QR, so I'd like something to fill in the 5.5cm hole in the center of the wheel over the hub. I'm sure someone has put a Momo wheel on before. Was there some Caterham wheel center cap or perhaps nose badge that was the right size to fit and look good?

Passed on it because shipping from UK to the US didn't make sense. Good deal for someone else.

Sent a pm to buy.

Alan, Thanks for the information. I didn’t know that there were so few Swindon engines sold. I’m located in the US so your engine builder suggestion, while appreciated, would be a bit far! The Vauxhall was engine wasn’t sold in anything in the US so it’s a fair bet to say that nobody near me is going to be familiar with the engine! thanks, Ken

I have searched but not found anything. Searching the Low Flying archives is not easy.

Thanks for the replies. I knew it was a long shot question.

A bump here just in case anyone with a Vauxhall has any information. I did inquire Caterham as well as Swindon and no information available.

I know the real answer is to put it on a dyno but I’d like to avoid the expense of that and even if I do the closer I start to correct the less time and money it will be. I have a Vauxhall with Swindon 218 hp option setup with Webers and the ecu was replaced before I got it with an Electromotive XDi wasted spark system. Seems to run pretty well but I wondering about optimizing the advance curve as the curve now is just the suggested curve for a 4 cyl engine from Electromotive. . Does anyone happen to have an advance curve for this engine or some guide on how much advance to run? Long shot question I know but I thought I would try. Thanks.

I would inquire Arch about getting a replacement chassis, already skinned, and then do the math on using what's good from yours and replacing what else is needed. The money might still not add up, compared to replacing but I would think it's worth the time to ask and consider. Most importantly, glad you weren't hurt.
