Great! Has your engine got the 6 speed gearbox? Have you had any problems since fitting the engine, how long has it been in? Did u just buy the engine mount kit for the XE? Did you use Nova GTE...

Ok, nice one. If anyone see's this post who's done or had anything to with the LET conversion, would really appreciate some advise.

Safe peeps

Yeah thought so, heard from somewhere that you have to bend or cut back the lip seperating the heater/interior fan. Someone on here must have done the conversion??

Are there any instructions on...

I've got the instructions to fit a valver in my Nova and that I need various different mounts, shafts and hubs etc. It seems farely straight forward to fit an 2ltr 16v XE engine in my GTE with the...

I would have thought it would help the handling with spacers on as this would spread the weight of the car out further so it should take corners better. I had 10mm spacers on my SR a while back and...

What happens when ya mounts have gone then? How does the car feel to drive with worn ones?

Anyone know where I can get fitting instructions for a 2.0 ltr 16v XE engine conversion into my GTE? What parts are needed? Does the engine bay need toughening up, stitch welding or whatever? Can I...

Have u looked underneath yet, could need tightening up, or it could be that the wrong gasket was fitted. Who fitted it for you, you should take it back a have it checked. Could also be that the new...

Yo. Any1 know where I can get a 2.0 redtop XE turbo engine (complete, loom, ecu etc) with 6 speed gearbox? Be a couple of months before I actually get one but was wondering if there's a company or...

What's the best way to start the sprint then, i'm guessing a bit of wheel spin but not loads. Should u spin your wheels up before the start to wearm your tyres, anything else worth knowing?

Cheerz

Cool, what has he had done to his engine? That must be quite a highly tuned engine?

Can anyone give me rough quarter mile times for a Nova GTE? What's a good time for a well tuned GTE with most of the interior taken out?

R there any records held for normally asperated 1600 Nova's...

Sorry this question must come up alot but...

Can anyone recomend a company in the South East who can do an engine transplant on my GTE to a Calibra turbo + 6speed gbox? Looked a courteney but...

Yello.

Where can I get a new wheel and tyre deal for 16" Speedlines for my GTE? Can't seem to find em anywhere on the net (haven't looked alot yet though). What different types of Speedline are...

Not really sure, you could try replacing the sensor but to be honest if your car's not over-heating that's a good thing!

Ello, more specifically, does anyone know how much a standard GTE weighs? Does anyone know the weight a say a standard 1.3SR?

Thanks all

Donkey clutch syndrom. Damb.

Anyone know if there's any difference from a 1.3SR inlet manifold to a 1.4SR manifold (carb).

Thanks

Na, same happened to me. All the 4-1 mani's are made to be sold with a hi flow system that will fit straight on. I bought one for my GTE and it wouldn't reach my Magnex system and stuck out to one...

So what kind of performance increases can you expect on a standard engine? Are there any gaurantees for the increases?

What's 150BHP roughly at the wheels? I remember reading on here a while back that r/r people up the results making the customers happier etc etc. this makes sense and often I feel this is what...
