belmont sri engine 1.8 8v?

[16v Nova Kev]

what would this engine be like in a nova or would it be pointless:(

[John]

Should be quite good. The 1.8 sri engine was 110 horse iirc.

[16v Nova Kev]

im not sure john might be the same weight or simmilar to an xe?

[mowgli]

the 8v is a fair bit lighter, prob not much more than a c16se

and it would use the same mounting stuff as an xe for future reference.

wtf

[John]

Like mike says, lighter than an xe. Big block so would need big block mounts/shafts etc.

1.8 8v 18SE 112bhp
0-60 9.0 secs in a Belmont lol

[mowgli]

its called torque

[16v Nova Kev]

well been offered it for 60 quid for engine and f16cr box plus shafts and other bits and bobs. no management tho so would prob fit 40s/45s

[mk1nova_rich]

I'll take the box and shafts off you if you like :)

[mowgli]

not worth it without the complete injection setup....

it costs the earth to tune a 1.8 as there just aren't the bits left anymore, and try & find a carb spec dizzy set.... the rally/kitcar boys have been snapping them up for ages.....


the f16cr is worth a few bob though.

I once had a mk2 astra sri, I loved it, it revved and revved. It was also faster than my mates 2.0 8v gte. :)

[16v Nova Kev]

I'll take the box and shafts off you if you like :)

no no your ok it would be a handy spare incase the one in my track car goes banglol

[mk1nova_rich]

Just shafts? lol

[benw456]

I think iv got an airflow meter and ecu for one of these. All you would have to get is the loom.

i have a 1 mk2 cav dizzy left i sold the other 2 i had. im thinking an inlet for carbs would be hard to find

[mk1nova_rich]

Same inlet as 2.0...pop up on ebay from time to time. Bike carbs may be an option?!
