[dj_wudgey]

baby xe? psh, v6 in there ftw dude, if ya got the space its a no brainer

i agree why go small when all that space is there!!!

[taffnova]

ill try get in ready for pvs only gonna start small learn to drive rwd properley first lol should be about 160bhp

[taffnova]

not using xe using e16se

[Sloth]

not using xe using e16se

are you mad?!?!?!?!? it aint gonna pull itself about.....:wtf:

that needs a big block or a saab lump. it fits the corsa c frame btw and gives 250 bhp for pennies....

[taffnova]

it was real good engine in my last nova on carbs

[Ben]

ill try get in ready for pvs only gonna start small learn to drive rwd properley first lol should be about 160bhp

From a E16SE

Please post the spec of the engine up as im very intrested in this!

[Sloth]

i agree, id like dyno prints etc and pics.

[taffnova]

last time used i had twin forty carbs fast road cam verner pully in pushed 136bhp at wheels this time it being fully rebuilt twin forty carbs fast road cam vernier pully twin carbs lighten balanced crank and fly wheel port and poished head arp bolts with f13 close ratio box poss with lsd:)

[Sloth]

who's done ya port and polish? and why t40's? bodies would be better with mapped management. and on a fast road cam, the lifts no where near enough to see 160, you need a rally/race cam

[taffnova]

same carbs what already have cause i put c20xe in last one in end that was waste of time i just gonna trial and error but good idea about throttle bodies

[taffnova]

ps don llouglin from hartlebury worcs doing head

[Sloth]

n.p. id use megasquirt, and run gsxr bodies and a bogg bros manifold. then a 292 deg cam, and a full balance should be near 160.

[taffnova]

ill have a look into that

[Sloth]

try here, www.vaux-extreme.com (http://www.vaux-extreme.com) they know the score with m/s matey, tell em sloth sent ya.

[taffnova]

cheers mate ill have word with them when get to engine many thanks

[omprezaman]

40's have the next best engine note to a turbo or v8 and sitting 2 foot from your ears will be noisey!!! can vouch for the 130bhp on the last one too mate i was there, ps is the inner panel i did on sunday still lookin sweet?

[Ben]

130 is achevieable with a lot of work but 160 would set a presedence
