[Dave]

55 at the fly

[peester]

wow lad; shes in then... mate - u shudn't give a fook how much its running: its over 200bhp, far too much in a lil nova; ull get no grip/traction anyway; maybe too fast for you..... lol. :D

[Matt EvoVI]

About 350 BHP :roll: sorry had to get that in :lol:

[Aragorn]

probably about 150

you'll rip that intercooler off as soon as u start driving and then you'll have no boost, and that leaves XE with low compression which isnt gonna be too hot :lol: :P

[M_U_T_A_N_T21]

i suspect a hint of jelously :D

[Mark Beeson]

Id say about 210. What exhaust are you running? If its any smaller than the original 2.5" then it will be restricting it and loosing you power.

[Aragorn]

i suspect a hint of jelously :D

lol nope just the fact that the pic youve posted of the apparently finished article shows the intercooler sitting on the deck :lol:

[Dave]

i suspect a hint of jelously :D

nope would have an xe over a let anyday! (unless it was rick's lol)

[Nath]

like the can of boddingtons :lol:

[Rexy]

you running any max power stickers?

[Lee]

i suspect a hint of jelously :D

lol nope just the fact that the pic youve posted of the apparently finished article shows the intercooler sitting on the deck :lol:

LOL :lol:

[scott.parker]

WTF is going on with that header return pipe,could it be any longer :lol:

[dan16v]

lol yea, m8 why not just zip tie it to the slam panel then into the header!

and lol i would much rather a let nova than an xe imo xe gets boring very fast! :lol:

[ANDYRACER]

To be honset id rather have a xe then spend the money on throttle bodies. Always have liked the sound of throttle bodies and the performance. Neva have been to keen on turbos.

[Ste_Nova]

WTF is going on with that header return pipe,could it be any longer :lol:

that will slow the water down.... rather have the water flowing through the turbo fast

[M_U_T_A_N_T21]

i suspect a hint of jelously :D

lol nope just the fact that the pic youve posted of the apparently finished article shows the intercooler sitting on the deck :lol:

hmmmm forgot to mention needed to mount the intercooler on but yea know what you meant by that now lol but o well been as all you slags have slaged it to the ground i guess the cars just crap then :cry: anybody want to buy it for ?1 then lol

[Nick]

99p and you have yourself a deal

[ANDYRACER]

Ill give you a quid. Can u deliever :lol:

[Stuart]

?1.50.... yes im willing to pay 50% over to secure it lol.


how old was the engine when you bought it? had it been rebuilt?

if its not had an easy live then id say that its "back to std" power with the mods youve done.

have a look on www.max-boost.co.uk its a massive bible to the LET and it will educate you beyond your wildest dreams lol

[Dar]

WOW - Im supprised at the reaction to this car :? Although the header tank pipe does look a little odd. So may be worth looking in to.
Nice to see it finshed-ish :wink:

Nice one mate - I bet it flys!! :twisted: Anything 200bhp+ is fecking rapid!

[M_U_T_A_N_T21]

the thing is how can i get round the header tank pipe due to the angle it comes out the turbo the pipe kinks if i run it along the front unless i get a special pipe made i thought it looked quite sexy myself and as for the engine it cost me nothink so would you have droped it in

[Stuart]

but do you know the history of the engine? if its been treated badly then tis going to "struggle" to hit 200bhp, if its a fresh build and everything is done right then maybe 215ish with the intercooler.

It seems the LET is fairly delicate when it comes to running them hard so a freshen up is usually in order.

[M_U_T_A_N_T21]

yea well the engine does need a rebuild and i will be doing that before i put it back on the road it needs all the gaskets doin an that but for what its cost me to do the conversion which is fuck all, i can spend the money on rebuilding the engine to tip top condition took some pictures today aswell

[Jim]

Can I ask why you bought a rev counter that goes to 11,000rpm?

Jim

[scott.parker]

lol i never noticed that one jim,humm is a bit OTT as the engine wont get over 7.000 rpm,well it wont need to or you will have missed the optimum gear change point.

Scott

[M_U_T_A_N_T21]

who gives a fuck a rev counters a rev counter cheers anyway :evil:

[Nick]

Can I ask why you bought a rev counter that goes to 11,000rpm?

Jim

does it really matter that much ?

[ade]

Bloody hell youre all a bunch of girly biatches!

:lol:

Poor guy asks an honest question and you all rip the p1ss.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves - all of you!!!

:evil:

Dont listen to them! Looks good mate - ignore the riff raff - jealousy is a bad thing in the Nova community!

Get it finished - make a good job of it and then watch them dribble!

Just dont overkill the feckin body kit or I'll take the p1ss!

8)

must admit - that intercooler does look a little low on the latest pic - maybe its me

Ade

[Stuart]

i belive my posts werent piss takes, they were merely opening the eyes to a worn LET not being up to factory spec :p

[Jim]

who gives a fcuk a rev counters a rev counter cheers anyway :evil:


does it really matter that much ?

Woooooah, Chill. I was only asking.

If you like it thats cool, but personnaly I would have bought one that goes up to 7 or 8k - these are just as easy to get as the ones that rev to 11k.

Each to their own...

Jim

[Dpnova]

im sorry but i agree with jim, i went to buy one for my old 1.2 but i couldnt bring my self to it....i dont see the point ir ur limit is set at 7 having one that revs to 11

[Rick Draper]

You would have been better with a EGT gauge or a wideband lambda setup than a rev counter. After all its better to know when to turn the car off before it blows up rather than know what revs you were doing when it blew up.

[Stuart]

incidently rick, have you got your wideband sensor setup yet?
Are you still looking at the AEM styless one?
im pondering gettin the LM-1 (or the non logging cable version for about ?100 less)

[dan16v]

im also after a wide band set up, but spose a few other things are more needed at the moment :lol:
