nova v6

[Rob-16v]

hello! is there a kit for the v6 converstion or is it something you jst weld up?

[Aamir]

I've only ever seen 2 cars with the v6 conversion. Too much weight & not enough power.

A 2.0i 16v redtop nova will still be quicker up the 1/4 mile strip, something to think about...

[Mike]

there was a V6 nova on ebay last week, only had 167bhp, which, for the amount of hassle to fit a V6, itll be easier + quicker to XE it.

[Nick]

from what i've heard they go in just as easily.

to be honest, fitting an XE isn't the most simplest thing you can do.

but as said, power wise fit and XE..

or even better an XE power 1.6T40 ? :wink:

No they dont.

[leemh1234]

my mates just built a v6 nova well over the last 3 years it may be feayured when its out on the road 8)

[Rob-16v]

I understand all your views on it, but is there a conversion kit or do you have to make one?

[Philsutton]

no there isnt a conversion kit have to make one your self. If yuor going to do it then use the saab one :D

he he 3L saab one at me local scrappy and she wants ?80

[Mike]

not sure the overall power output of v6 tbh, but im pretty sure the add said bout that! which i though seem's a little low?

Mike

[leemh1234]

my mate used a m-tech 2.0 16v conversion kit then modded it to make the v6 fit.he said he'd never do another 1 tho

[Stuart]

the 2.5 is about 170/180ish and the 3.0 is 207bhp (with the right intake and exhaust as the omega and calibra ones were different)

And spend 1500 on an engine instead of 300....

[Nick]

i wasn't exactly being 100% serious.

How's about spending 1k on a 2l 16v to make it handle like a small block nova ?

there's disadvantages and advantages of doing everything

I didnt mean it personally but N/L seem to be very against XE Novas and ohhh tune the 1.6 8v, there won't be any Twin 40's left in the world soon :lol:

Oh and for the arguement, my mates XE Nova handles amazingly well, infact better than any other car ive really ever been out in, thats just sat on AVO coilovers

[STE Novavanman]

want handling and power by motorbike engine then you got it all 150 bhp from 1.3 for 500 for engine and own mounts plus weights less then a 1 litre

[Stuart]

the 1.0l nova engine is fooking heavy as its made totally of cast iron lol.

[STE Novavanman]

the 1.0l nova engine is fooking heavy as its made totally of cast iron lol.

exactly the small engines aren't that much of an advantage on handling

[STE Novavanman]

[Stuart]

small block is still 50Kg's lighter than an 20 XE lol 50Kg's is a fook load of weight

[burgo]

motor bike engines dont really have enough torque unless you can get you car down to about 600kg's

[benji]

lol, i bet a busa engine has more torque than my engine and nearly twice the bhp

[benji]

just out of interest, does anyone how heavy the td engine is?

[burgo]

very lol. i love the good old v6 is to heavy debate

p.s.
Suzuki GSX1300R "Hayabusa" engine and gearbox is installed. Maximum horsepower 129kW(175PS)/9,800rpm, maximum torque 138N-m(14.1kg-m)/7,000rpm. Liquid cooled four stroke in-line 4 DOHC 16 valves engine will rev up to 11,000 rpm
which means 172bhp and 101 lb ft torque

[benji]

same torque as a standard gte. and loads more power.

p.s.

what site did you find that on? and what bhp is a gsxr 750 putting out (K4/K5)

[burgo]

just did a quick google

1996 Max Hp: 117.1@11,750 -- 1996 Max Tq: 57.0@9,750
1995 Max Hp: 92.9@10,500 -- 1995 Max Tq: 49.3@9,500

bit wank compared to the busa lol

[benji]

the k4/5 are the latest models. 2004, 2005 bit more power i think.

[STE Novavanman]

best bet is a zx12r engine on turbos then imagine that 250 bhp odd with an engine weight of around 100 kgs

[burgo]

fook how much it weighs someone buy my v6 ;) lol

[Gistra-Nova]

A turbo zx12r is about the best power to weight ratio, with a bike engine.

Until you tune a busa, seen 580bhp busas..........

[burgo]

ive seen a 600bhp busa. to be fair though it did go bang lol
