i recently fitted a 2.0 8v to my nova and the bottom end has gone up the shi**er, when it was running i wasnt overly impressed with the power gain from my 1.6, im stuck whether to rebuild a mint 8v lump or to go and stick a redtop init? what do you lot think???

lol, do as you please, going from a 2.0 8v to a 2.0 16v is easy from what i understand, you are already 90% of the way to the redtop

depends if its proper on the logbook and you can afford the extra insurance

or if you have the dollar to buy a redtop etc etc

persoanlly i would stick out the 8v lump as i think they are alot more reliable
