can i put a set of twin 40's onto my 1.2 nova merit?

[kingwaj]

i would like some extra power from my 1.2 nova and ive been looking around this site and i saw alot of nova's with twin 40's. however i aint seen a 1.2 nova with twin 40's? is this possible and if so how and what will i need to do this?

thanx :wink:

this might be an unwanted answer but absolutly point less, no point putting twins on such a small engine, you might as well save up and buy a conversion for the amount of money twins cost your looking at 700+ just for the kit never mind the ammount of tuning save up buy a gsi engine or sometihng

i have to agree.

for the amount of money u r paying compared to the power u r going to achieve it is money better spent on something else.

what about getting it cammed???

[jettasrfab]

what are you wanting out of your car?

[jettasrfab]

go out buy a replacement weber 32/34, have it rejetted along with a mild road cam, k/n bolt on filter with a cold air feed to it, decent exhuats from the manifold, and get it cleaned i.e change all the oils filters, and so on check all the earths and so on and then take it to be rolling road tuned and sit back in your pretty nippy 1.2

No you cant do it.............

cos we are! :lol: :multi:


Hahahahahahaha!

[jettasrfab]

you doing all these mods as well?

[CP]

Yep thats the plan. Hopefully without being on huge budget just to see what can be done. It will be fully tuned throughout - just bolting on 40's would be a waste of time.

on my vw jetta i run a standard 32/34 weber and it is pretty quick mines a 1.6 but its not half as light as a nova

Re: Jettasrfab's advice.

Its not that simple, to fit the 32/34 to the 1.2 you need to change the inlet manifold, and to make the most of it, you should port the manifold to match the new carb.

As CP said we are working on a 1.2 project at the moment, watch this space, and article is on the way. It will be awesome.
