You must be using Nos then :confused: Standard Nova gte/gsi weighs approx 833kgs.

http://www.letstorquebhp.com/fwd.asp

Stripped out and allowing for heavier engine and box etc, car weighs around 750/770kgs :confused:

Which means your car would need to be runing around 450bhp+ :confused:

http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp

Just curious at the moment :D

[Adam]

Dont take the letstorquebhp site as accurate, afterall its just a rough guide.....

[burgo]

that calculator fails in a big way lol

[game1]

Fully understand it's a "guide" :roll:

Any idea what sort of power would be needed to run the above times, driver dependant of course.

[spanishfly]

I got a 12.4 best atm, that was last year, I haven't managed to sucessfully complete a 1/4 mile run this year lmao

[Jonlem]

Turbo Gavs car was about 380hp.

Rebuilt LET, Hybrid AET K16, phase 3 EDS and 100 shot of gas.

The car is caged, runs a 6 speed and a LSD, short of that it "was" a normalish stripped out nova, now ofcourse its something slightly different LOL

Did NovaNeil ever get that engine (isaac hunt) fitted into a Nova? I know he bought it years ago?

And did Ade ever get the 16v turbo he was building fitted to the IH one?

Thats so far into the power that the only thing failing that Nova is aerodynamice. Thats fantastic!!
