does anyone know the performance figures (i.e. 0-60 and top speed) for a 1.2i nova hatch k-reg??
i aint expectin much but i just wanna know for the sake of pub talk!
cheers all
*s*
The 1.2i has got the same power as a 1.0 which is 44bhp.
The 1.0 litre is supposed to do 0-60 in 15 sec and top out at 85mph so the 1.2i should be the same but i'v have 105mph on the clock ov mine.

when i had my 1.2i i got clocked by 96mph which is faster than the book says, still that was as fast as it went
Nah it aint realy, just a back box and drilled air box. but i think the speedo is problem a bit off.

1.2i is supposed to do 89mph but i've seen 105mph aswell. Faster than 1.0 I know a lad with one and was right on his arse for ages

Got mine 1.2 carb to 112 mph, 0-60 never tried, and about 58bhp but with no mods really apart from K&N filter. Getting plenty more mods soon hope to get booset up to 90-100 bhp :twisted:
Have saloon tho

112mph... downhill with the wind behind you maybe.

how are you intending to get 90-100 bhp out of a 1.2?
turbocharging?

haha! Thats quite impressive from a 1.2i, although the speedo will probably be about 10-15% inaccurate at that speed!

Dual webber 40, camshaft, exhaust, ported and polished and replaced valves probably, nothing impossible :twisted:
I hope anyway! :D
And 112 was on the flat straight line, but probably with the wind, however at this speed it doesnt metter, but i was following BMW X5, so was drifting behing it :twisted: 8)

i can live with the speedo being out, but thats where i hit the rev limiter in forth!!!
my engine broke soon after> :(
hmm dubious about your estimate on power, but hey
you need a proper rebuild to start hitting "real" power from a 1.2 lol

Come On!
Lets be more optimistic! See what your signature says! :wink:
i said it because i KNOW what has gone into the rebuild to get it near a state of tune to hit power like that.
its more than just banging T40's and a bit of a polish with the dremal!!!

I didnt say I was just gonna bang two 40 :wink:
But i know what you mean! It will be very difficult tho! But lets bring it on! :twisted:
:lol:
looks like i still have no competition then

I've had (honestly) 112mph out of my 1.2 carb.
Was driving the car to where the 1.6 was being put in so I thought might as well give it some as I'm not too bothered what happens to it. I did have all the interior out (every last bit including dash) and only one seat so it was a little dieted...

i had the 1.2i to 5750rpm in 4th gear down hill with a wind up me arse and that equates to 106mph-ish
the speedo was reading 125

Cambridge are you the one doing the 1200 turbo? I thought about enbarking on a project like this a while ago but I couldnt justify the cost for the predicted power at the end. How far along the project are you?
What sort of power and torque figures are you expecting to achieve? As far as I know (correct me if I am wrong) you are the only person doing a 1200 turbo at the moment...so respect!

My 1.2i did 115mph, down quite a steep hill.. lol The gaskets recently developed a pin hole, letting air into the water system and presurising the system. So i've the head off and its away getting skimmed today, with a new gasket, bolts etc..
Wonder will that make any difference? Probably not much on a 1.2i lmao!

might be worth fitting a 1.2 carb head and matching the 1.2i inlet manifold to the carb one or making up an adaptor plate so the 1.2i throttle body fits on a 1.2 carb inlet because the carb head has much better ports and valves
throw an SR cam in while your there and a decent zorst system and you'll gain a good few ponies
erm not a turbo, dont be so stupid
me az got a 1.2 aiiii wiv a wicked paht cossie cone and a big bore 4 coz dat soundz paht. it iz gunna do 150bhp coz me az 2 max power stickers and a fake dump valve
lol ^^^
- anyone with a 1.2 check my sig :D :+:
had my sting reading 119 on the clocks in 4th
all bollocks mind but good mine poor thing RIP
cambridge is the 1.2 guru ne question on em ask him :wink: :lol:
ask him anything you like and i guarantee you'll get a daft answer.
as far as i know (and i don't know much) NO ITS NOT :p

yeah really sound answer there cambridge, nice to see you have the time to answer a straight question with a straight answer

the 1.4sr stuff doesn't match up to the 1.2 head aswell as the 1.3sr.
