Nova GTE - turbo

[NovaNeil]

I would defo agree that the bigger the intercooler the better! Yes you get more lag, but you get cooler more denser air which means two things.....
1) more Power
2) Safer running as theres less chance of detonation

So The bigger the intercooler the better in my book! :D

Lags lag....... its like sh*t..... it just happens and you live with it! ::

Now I know this is going to sound abit silly but why do you not look into an ALS(Anti Lag System) or you could just learn to left foot break :twisted: .

Just a Thought

Anti-Lag systems are something for the rally teams, or showing off. you can't use them all the time as they kill the turbos and exhaust systems. Your average WRC car will bin it's turbo and exhaust after one rally, but these teams have a budget of millions, whereas, with the exception of Rick, the rest of us nova owners don't have that kind of money to throw about

Yeah... Plus, the lag is so minimal on a 1.6 with T2 you don't need anti lag..... Having said that, I have mine mapped to over fuel at high rpm when the throttle postion is closed (changing gear)... This was mostly done for the Noise (burbing and flames inbetween gear changes :D ) but it also acts as a kind of Anti lag, because the extra unburn't fuel keeps the Turbo spinning. But if you do it too extreme you'll kill the Turbo in no time like Chris said.

[James1]

I take it your fuel doesn't really last that long with the over fueling. It was just a surgestion :D I didn't realise that it wore out the turbo that much. Yes it would be nice to have that much money but some people do have to live in the real world.

engine stand has arrived today so progress can start on this

i will be giving a full run through of the turboing... and i expect help doing it also ::

[cmatty]

Ste what ecu does that engine have, Bosch or Siemens?

[Aragorn]

GM Multec

its a C16SE

[cmatty]

Is that the one which uses a Air Mass Meter and a Map Sensor? So what happens when the Map Sensor senses boost and not vacuum? Would the engine management light turn on?

[Ste_Nova]

dunno ::n i can't see an amm only the map...

i'm gonna use the haynes and label each of the sensors
