[Jack]

Thats mainly due to my crappy video skillz. 1/4 throttle and the car tears itself across the road is mildy scary I can assure you.

Pics, I'm just getting them off my phone at the mo

[BIGS]

Well done lads, good job! And noticed Lee was abit smoother on the gear change this time nothing broke lol :p

[mdunnxe2b]

yay at last its on the road well done lee you the man lol look forward to seeing it jack:thumb:

[Lee]

lol lol lol

Agreed the car didnt actually DO anything scary, far from it. I mean Ive owned a 200+ bhp nova for the last 6 years. It was more the potential that scared me. You can't see how little im using the throttle lol Its also fapping noisy, and I didnt want to wake the dead :)

[Rob]

Awsome work guys look forward to seeing it at pv and was was the the non spark problem,sorry if youve already said

[Jack]

No spark was an immobiliser issue.

Feck, suppose i have to go to PVS now!

[Mazz]

almost looks like you've got power steering on it!

[Lee]

Strong arms lol

[Rob]

How much power does the 3.0 put out generally? Or is it the torque that makes it scary? lol

[Stuart]

As I've always maintained, you KNOW when a car is spot on when you giggle like children as you drive it :D

[Jack]

Pics are on facebook - didn't have time to upload to photobucket, and i'm currently on a train to london. Lol

The engine is a saab b308i so i little more power than an X30, 210bhp i think. Not sure of the torque, i think a little less than a LET but of course being a V max torque is lower down the rev range

[Lee]

Being a standard NA you would expect its torque to float around its power figure, so I would guess around 220 lb/ft approx :) Not far off a LET, and as Jack said, it will make peak torque much further down the rev range :)

[sulphur]

How long did it take you boys to convert it? Fitting, making the mount etc? Pretty straight forward is it?

[Lee]

We cheated and bought P Whacks matt black creation to circumvent making the mount and doing the manifolds (as I am no welder lol) I had the XE out and the V6 in in about the equivilent of a day and a half whenever I had some spare time. The I spent a week on fault finding the electrical problem lol

[Saloony]

I cant wait to actually see the worksmanship that has gone into this.... i need a good laugh at work sometimes lol

[sulphur]

Awesome. Need to get the pics on here, always loved the thought of a v6 nova, but a 3.0V6 loon is just SO much better. :thumb:

[dj_wudgey]

i was thinking the same we need some pictures!!

[Jack]

As said, pics are on facebook. I can't get them on here at the mo as I'm not home


I cant wait to actually see the worksmanship that has gone into this.... i need a good laugh at work sometimes lol
Its not as bodged as the XE. Although the multicoloured fuel pump attachment is still there lol

[Lee]

Its not as bodged as the XE.

How very dare you! There are some top quality bodges on this one too :)

Nout wrong with bodgery, so long as you know the difference between a good bodge and a bad bodge lol

[Jack]

Chem metal throttle linkage = good bodge.

Wireless ICV = bad bodge lol

[Steve]

Really liking this, sounds great and looks like a right laugh to drive. lol

Might have to have a word with lee about something... lol

[Ernie]

What brakes lol.

[Ernie]

Chem metal throttle linkage = good bodge.

Wireless ICV = bad bodge lol

You forgot

Shares in black tape lol.
