Bobminda
04-09-09, 09:31 PM
Probably best to start with 2 and see if you can handle the power !
Smart cars are all 600cc turbos so unless youre running a decent spec SR SRi or GTE/GSi youre gonna lose, i hope it was on a track and not on the public highway though!

How about "knN", some stickers (as already said) and ebay chips, should see well over 150 bhp imo.

ebay chips? just go to the local chippy and get loads, port and polish the audi way, and a good mustang style engine flush and you'll be laughing:thumb:
and the 1.2 is easy up to the task of 210bhp without mega money being thrown at it.
edit--dont forget to fold the rear seats down for lower weight distribution...

Ask your mum if you can have her bread bin to make into a subaru style scoop, to force air into the carb and it'll be well faster because it will have a ram air effect, should see some good results once you get to about 60 mph

right serious head on for a minute--- its a 1.2 with the best part of 55bhp. you will NEVER run a good time with that, standard corsa vxr's run mid 17's and they have 160ish bhp. if you want power from your nova save up and get an XE/LET engine fitted, or buy one with the conversion done. the best 1.2 i know of on this site is Boffer8's, and thats only because he knows what he's doing when building the things and has it at an estimated 110bhp (i.e double what i'm guessing you have) th ebay induction kit is bollox, no you cant fit 4, ad most of the above was indeed taking the proverbial micheal.
if you can hack it here kid, you can hack it anywhere:thumb:

Bread bin, just cut the bonnet and bend roughly where the air intake is.
may look messy but the bhp will go up around 10 - 15 %

magimixSR, there is only one decent cheap way to get more power in a 1.2, that is to remove it & put something bigger in. so keep it std, stop racing people in a straight line (wait for bendy bits) and get saving.

a couple weeks ago i went to the scrappy and there was a saab 2.0 turbo, so i took the pipe off the turbo with the rubber thing and bought it for 7 quid.
stuck a universal air filter on i got for nowt, and hey presto. oh i had to hacksaw it and modify it to fit aswell, but cant go wrong.

Personally I would have a look in some of the projects on here and learn about Novas. Plenty of 1.2's around on here and if insurance is expensive then becareful what you alter, don't forget you'll have to declare your modifications.
Guys I know that the lad has come across as a bit thick but give him a chance. ;) We all had to learn at some point.
Go back and read ASA comments.
i get stung on insurance if i get a bigger engine in there
Just don't tell them, plenty of people on here don't :roll:

no you gained rep from funny comments. putting things like "i'm putting a LET in and not telling the insurance" is childish.
and you are flying in the face of rule 15 there bud

hows it childish ? it wont be about 2-3 years before i do it anyway.
Asa-James
04-09-09, 11:47 PM
its childish because there are enough impressionable idiots out there who may look at that and think "oh its fine" and when one of them crashes into me and the insurance wont pay out because of the voided policy i wont be impressed. theres nothing funny or daft about insurance.
Listen to asa, and yes im being a funny bugger about it but my point is valid, changing an engine and not telling your insurance or the dvla, is tax and insurance fraud, and is iirc an imprisonable offence, so whos being more childish here, ask yourself, seriously!

Yeah your right id feel the same with all the hard work ive put into my nova if some idiot came along and rammed me and couldnt get the insurance to pay.
Im off to get some PEPPERONI PIZZA NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
I cant decide whether the OP has either read too much max power, or is the worst troll in history.
Either way, this is possibly the worst thread I have EVAR seen!
Hence my bored/negative comments lol

right magneticsr, i have a 1.2i k reg nova, and the best way iv found to increase power it to get a ram air scoop so more air in engine = more power, and also drive around with my grill off = cooler= more efficient= more power.
and also get the grinder out and cut slats in your wings so air rushes in and goes into the engine bay. but by far the best idea is to run the engine dry of oil, run it for 30 secs and put half oil back in, this removes all crap from cylinders and increases boar of cylinders increasing cc and hp.
also buy my wheels, as there wide and get better traction.
oh yeh, and a good polish helps the air move over your car faster, generating less drag, more speed.
when you add the ram air scoop, dont bother using a filter as it suffocates the engine, just get some thin gauze and tape it over the carb to catch any big bits !!!!!!
hope this helps

Yes but theres a power to weight ratio, it has to be calculated to see how much hp then engine acts like in a car of whatever weight it is.
well no its not figured on how much the engine has increased by taking the wieght out what they do is use the weight figures and the bhp ect to calculate what bhp it has per tonne!!
what a load of sh1te.i cant believe it hasnt been deleted.

Yeahhhh, where is this going?!
Dude, your first Nova is a 1.2, dont expect lightning, in fact I would suggest if you want power, actaully go out and buy an SRI or GSI rather than one that looks like one! and dont race on public roads you knob cheese!leave it to the track!!
BTW I havent read all of the thread, only the first couple of pages. And it just got too random!
My 1.2 is slow, i know it, but its fun that's the main thing, who cares that it apparently has 89mph top speed? All is know is on a private road itd take corners at that 89mph and other cars would be doing a lot less

06-09-09, 07:49 PM
you mean you would go straigh on at 89mph into a wall then

Not really no?
You never took a corner (read corner as bend lol) at 90?
J15 M6 bends, steep corner at 80ish, hair raising at 90, pant skidders at 100+ in the wet.
You guys are horrible, get a sr carb for her, that will improve things, lower it (will handle better) get some decent tyres and better brakes and that will do until u can get something bigger
!!!
I'm sorry but my 1.2 Nova was a flying machine. I had a K&N Bolt on Filter and a Peco BB2 and I swear, it did 118mph. If you dont believe me, check my Bebo page and you'll see.

Ive had my sat nav say 112mph in a 1.0 12 volt Corsa bouncing of the limiter in 5th gear.
And a 1.2 Spi Corsa upto 108 on sat nav with a passenger in the front & ITR engine & box in the back (5 man lift jobbie, makes a GM V6 feel like a small block 8v!)
So TBH im sure a Nova could do similiar?
may i say.....

lol this is too precious, i just sat and read the whole lot, and to think ive wasted my year and loads of £££ putting a VXR engine in a nova and all i had to do was get an air scoop and polish the car...

Never been on M6 for 1 and for 2 it had ditchseekers on that were just plain scary in the wet doing 4mph so there not much chance of me doing a ton round a bend like that!! lol
However, when it was dry did handle like a dream & had great road holding! anyways I could only ever get it into triple figures on a straight!! never tried getting it that high on a bend!
