To be fair he asked for advice, got advice, got defensive and spat his dummy out!Originally Posted by Nobby
If it was making 290 bhp ATW his gearbox wouldn't even get him up a 1/4 mile.
Right heres my opinion ill say it once.....
This is the 2nd time decent local lads to me have came on here after advice and sooo called regulars have jumped on the bandwagon and basically called them a liar and told him hes wrong and hes cars not what he claims it is. If people havent got any " good advice " dont fuking bother, how can people claim thats hes wrong when 1. You have never seen the car 2. You aint got a ****ing clue who built it, people on here really think there something special lately i dont know whats going wrong from the usual freindly people ive met.

This is the video of the nova that the previous owner made on the dyno just to show its not pub talk and it has been rolling roaded

After fitting the new rods, how do you plan to get more power? As others have said getting rid of the standard parts and adding a gt turbo and standalone management a lot more power can be had, IMO the turbo and chipsets are maxed out
Did the guy that built it work at tvr then?
^^^ did you just read that? what a idiot ^^^

Sorry but you have missed the point.
Many people on this forum (let alone full time dyno users) Could explain how a few changes (ambient SP air temp etc) can be changed and a very very wrong reading will be shown.
The fact people have tried to save you from ruining a now very expensive engine and you have come back with a You tube link to prove its "been rolling roaded"
Take the advise, the kkk will not be supplying the air needed to that sort of power. Its a simple as that.
Nobby, I understand the band wagon rubbish . It bugs me more than you, but there have been some good advise which has been ignored.
If he Don't want the truth don't ask.....
TBH I know feck all about turbo builds but Paul would be one of the first people I actually would ask advice from regarding this sort of question.
EDIT: Also this might answer some of the questions regarding your KKK CLICKYME

A kkk in standard guise is balls out at its limit at 290bhp (and even thats questionable). Approx 20-22psi. It will not last long, so running it at 14psi (iirc) will not give 290 whp. Its impossible, it doesnt move enough air. Its completely irrelevant its been rolling roaded at 290whp, because the figures nova_t is talking about now on a kkk is the figures youd expect to see with a gt28 and tubular mani. I know iv seen it with my own eyes 330bhp!
Ive been there and fell for the xxxbhp rr pub bull****. My ph2 nova had '289bhp', i changed it to omex and took it to a proper RR, and it gave 246bhp. Now the nova with 246bhp was faster than the ph2 down the strip (higher terminal) and on the road. So you see some RR's can tell lies and over read.
Which ever way you look at it, if you still want to beleive your 290whp, your internals are pretty much on or near their limit. But dont be dissapointed when youve taken it to a proper RR to set up and after all your modifications its the same bhp. Infact i know you won't be cause itll actually feel like 320/330bhp, and trust me in a nova thats ballistic.
