Remember all nova driveshafts are the same, except some GTE's have 22 splines not 28
A few people have told me they run their LET (2.0 16v turbo) powered novas with nova driveshafts, F20 gearboxes etc
Obviously using inner CV's from the Cav and normal nova outer cv's..
Standard this engine produces 204bhp and 206.5lb/ft torque, does anyone know how much more torque the shafts can take before snapping?
An XE put's out standard 144.5lb/ft but mines about 155 at the mo.
I've got a nitrous kit i'm about to fit, which increases torque roughly the same as power, so if i run say 75bhp jets with controller it will increase my torque to about 230lb/ft, with power being roughly 250bhp..
Will only run 25bhp jets to start with obviously so they should be ok, just wondering for later...
So who has snapped a driveshaft? What power or more importantly torque were you running through it?!
Don't really wanna buy Group A shafts and CV's if I can help it.
Cheers
