i thought you were doing the 2.2 16v engine.

[mikeoxford]

its a 2.2 8v engine

[peester]

nice one mate good luck. should be a torque monster. bit different isn't it.
does anyone remember (might sound silly here,) a red nova at pv2002 with issachunt stickers down it (looked bit rough) beating a scooby p1 down the quarter mile; wasn't that an 2.0 8v? but it has loads a nos.

[Ben]

Yes his car also has a large turbo and is the fastest front wheel drive nova in the country i think the 1/4 was 12.48?

[Dare-devil]

Nice m8. keep us posted " with pics " of the proces.. :wink:

[Will]

:lol: wot abt gettin car repaired 1st?..........

[Jim]

Theres a guide in TV this month about tuning the 8v engine. I think they use the 2.0 and 1.8 8v engines.

I agree with Will, what about getting the car repaired first?

Jim

[wisewood]

whats happening about the body work neil?
you found out yet?

[Neil.]

the accident is being done, it's getting repaired. the engine is going to mikes house where bits and bobs are being done down there, few other things that i dont wanna tell anyone yet. It's been estimated at 160-170BHP, and on top of that im adding a 4 branch manifold, so god knows what it'll be.
anyway the engine is mint and should be a good project for me and mike. ill keep u updated with pics wen i can.

[mikeoxford]

It's been estimated at 160-170BHP

not saying it wont be. but i just want to ensure nothing gets said about me, so all im going to say is all im doing is carrying out the work for you neil mate LOL. people on NL will think i am telling you all this kinda information - if u see what i mean? im just your mechanic with a spanner :twisted: :lol: 8)

[ncole]

[Stuart]

lol


is that a standard engine, appart from a rebore, manifold, Carbs (no doubt), cam, etc :wink:

[Neil.]

yeah everyone listen up, MIKE HAS NOT TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ENGINE, he knows nothing, when he reply's to posts its actaully after hours of research on the net for answer then he types it up making it look like he knows it all, he's actually a spaz.
lol
ive been told all this by the guy i brought the engine off.

Yeah its a standard engine, injection tho not carb.

[Neil.]

---UPDATE ---

Got Drive shafts, Gear box, ECU, loom and Front and rear brakes today off OnePhatNova, picking them up monday, just few other bits and bobs and im sorted! should be looking to start on it November!

[Barn]
