View Full Version : had nova R/R today :-)
just been down europarts motorsport & had my nova on the rolling road for a power run. Well chuffed with power, not as much torque as i thought.
but considering it is a 1.7td without intercooler, i think it has performed brilliantly
110.6 Bhp @ 92.7mph in 4th
127 lb ft @ 56.4mph in 4th
tell me what ya think
well chuffed
having intercooler, cam, exhaust and filter next...
video to come in about 2 weeks ;-)

Not bad m8, someone will come and say europarts over-read like mad but it looks accurate enough to me :) I thought you had an intercooler on and some mad boost on the go? Still, impressive, and should kill a fair few GTE's/GSi's :)

GTE/GSi will probably put out its max power at 82mph something around there. Not all that revvy are they & got a close ratio box. Td is a winner!!
Will be intrested to see what you get when finished.

europarts had it setup again and suppose to be much better now!!

The best way to read rollin road results is power at the wheels. A dyno can only calculate power at flywheel using supposed values for air pressure/ temp etc then uses transmission losses to estimate a flywheel figure, if everyone used at the wheels figs then universall y we would all have a better idea for comparisons. My 146bhp is 119bhp at the wheels. Not very impressive as far as I'm concerned but on the other hand if my 1600 whoops most others I know convincingly then, the others must be considerably lower at the wheels also. True figures not bogus flywheel claims! This is not meant to upset anyone btw :D
i lost 20.7bhp through transmisson and tyres. gutted, but not bad through just boost alone, and a bit of fuelling. my exhaust is restrictive and induction system shit apparently and when intercoolered should run 110bhp @ wheels with induction system and exhaust sorted. and 150 lb ft torque
yeah it is Ian Nixon @ euro parts in stoke
quality guy
he was impressed at the 70 - 90 time on my derv.
70 - 90 @ 1.8 seconds on the rollers
fucking ace
ha ha :lol: :lol: :lol:
