My nova: 1.55 bar = 457bhp, 2.1 bar = update on page 5
3 Attachment(s)
457bhp @ 6800rpm
Wasnt able to get the boost control working well enough for a full boost run, that figure was at 1.55 bar, going to need to revisit how the boost control works as I would like to get another third or half a bar into that ideally. Attachment 126105 Clean as whistle on full chat :D Attachment 126106 Manifold was loving it too, lol Attachment 126107 Big thanks to Matt@Mtech Automotive for his patience running it up again and again and again just to keep getting the same figure everytime while I tried and failed to get any more boost into it! |

|

are the head lights out of a mark 4 golf or sumit? there not standard head lights are they?
|
Nice power!
lol @ the tag though |
thats fookin mental chip, fair play
|
Mental!
My nissan has that sort of power and I think that's mental, must be CRAZY in a nova! |
Fook me what sort of engine you got under the boot? :grin:
|
rs1. that's at fly and yes its still on the baby exhaust housing.
cams are limiting it a bit I think but to be honest its more power than it needs anyway and I like how it drives so I doubt i'll change them just to chase a few bhp that won't make it anymore fun and will probably kill the gearbox. might go down a turbo size though as im sure it will perform the same on a 3076 and spool quicker but only turbos I had lieing around were the 35 and the 42. so I just fitted one to se what its like. now I know the 35 is bigger than I want I can choose a turbo properly for it at some point. |
Massive power...respect due!
Front end looks shit tho! |
Any videos? bet that's a right handful!!!
|
Great power for the boost

Golf lights look weird but work very well, nova lights look ok but work shit, also the nova lights would look gash with the big bumper, but without the big bumper I have nowhere to mount the 4 radiators on the front of the car. Its entirely about how it goes, not how it looks with me basically, so Im not really bothered the lights look a bit out of place, but your coment is perfectly fair and accurate. |

But if you were to build the same thing from a modern car (post 1998) it would need an SVA not just an MOT. |
top work chip:top:
What would you be looking at with an extra half a bar? 500 possible? |

Dont know till you try it ultimately, but Id be fairly confident of that yeah, but im just not sure there is any point doing so, I'd like to just as a tuning exercise, but I dont think it will actually improve the car if I do so, and it will probably start spitting gearboxes out more often.
