how ?

[steve461]

if i was to get a new set of cams how much would i b looking at in price and would it do much to the performance ? anyone with sum links on info about cams would u mind letting us now about them oh and its for a 1.4 (nova) cheers all

[Chris]

not sure but i think a cam kit is around ?285, and looking at gains upto around 8bhp.

8 bhp i cud get out and fucking run with that lol ?285 for 8/10 max bhp kiss my ass lol

[Chris]

why not consider doing a transplant.

if ur handy you can pick up a decent 2ltr 8v up for ?100. sort some shafts out n ur on a winner

[steve461]

i was thinking of dropping a 2ltr cavilier in coz that goes straight in so ive heard i could get it done no probs i know a few peeps that work or own a propper garage with all the equip but then its insurance and say i smash it up lol

[badnova]

how old r u if u dont mind me asking

just asking to see how much insurance would be

[badnova]

i just i got a qote for a 2 litre cav engine in a nova and they said 1800
i think i will wait

[XZiBiT]

yeah i would wait 1800 tpft?

[Ben3042]

It wont go straight in either.

Wiring loom if your cars not injection
Tank and fuel lines need changing for gsi items
Driveshafts need changing

Plus whatever iv forgot to mention.

ben u forgot engine mounts :lol:

[geordie_racer]

if u want a decent list of wots involved have a look at the valver parts post in this forum, i wrote that for the 16v engine but most of it applies to the 8v

oh and 1800 quid id pay tht for a valver nova no worries, make sure you dont crash it in the 1st year and that would ome down a lot for the 2nd year

also need to modify the bottom pully, slightly modify the inner turret to clear the alternator (not as much as 16v though, also need to modify gear linkage and rear box mount. And brake, musn't forget the bigger brakes

8 bhp i cud get out and fcuking run with that lol ?285 for 8/10 max bhp kiss my ass lol

if you knew wot u were doing that wud help :lol: :lol:

its not just a case of bolting on this and that and having xxxbhp, also have you considered torque? didnt think so.

Anyway take a 1600 engine for an example, if you had bigger inlet valves put into the head, a decent cam and some weber carbs for example you would be looking at 130/140bhp, does that sound more fun?

failing that go with the valver and ring LV 8 times, 7 of the times they will ay no, 1 they will insure you so silly ?s do that :lol: :lol: :lol:

[steve461]

im 18 what bout yourself? how long you bin driving ? you got any no claims i will have 1 year no claims nxt month lol
