hello all ive just got a nova an cant make my mind up do i put a red top in it or a v6 ? :?

V6 in a Nova is awkward not impossible but you need to do a hell of a lot more work than a xe. Only you can choose depends what you like driving.

Sorry but how can you give some input when you have no idea what both the engines are like :roll:

I would say if your affter easy big power gains and on a budget etc,then try 1.6 8v on twin carb's fist off,as they are proven to work very well,or if you have more chash to splash then go for the c16xe or x16xe 1.6 16v small xe engines,not so easy to tune but will keep the hendling better,or go full on xe with tb's like i have.

wouldnt bother with the v6 just too much messing for not a lot of gain over the c20xe.

Scott

40+bhp

[scott.parker]

yes granted theres more bhp and lbft but at what coast,the xe is bad enough on udersteer with poor suspesion set ups ect,so the extra weight of the v6 hanging even more so over the front axle is bound to be a lot wose no?

[Ben]

dunno about weight, if i can pick it up then its light enough :lol:

lol thats no supprise your a big fucker :lol:

[ANDYRACER]

Like i told you on msn mate, the V6 is a inferior engine, not very tuneable and crap handling in such a small car. :wink:

[Will F]

XE over V6 any day. Unless you are putting it in the back.

[DaveMarshall]

XE is the cheapest and easiest. LET is loads of fun. :D

[Philsutton]

i no what a red top turbo feals like dick my m8s bro has a red top turbo calibra!!! and thats f**k quick!!!!

big difference to it being fitted into a calibra and a nova, the calibra is 4x4 for a start and weighs about twice as much.

[RJM25R]

I take it rudeboy69 relates to your attitude. No need to call anybody infantile names.

[beanyboy1982]

still cant make my mind up ?

[Stuart]

how are you with tools/bodging?

if yout not too hot then go for the 20 XE conversion as its a piece of piss. if you like a challenege and have a bit of intellect then go for the V6, but unless you do it properly the XE will be a better all round engine to the V6 in the front of a nova.....


although id properly recomend a 1.6 16V on TB's if you want a nice engine lol

[F188CHG]

If your looking for a challange and wana be diffrent put a 1.6 16v twin cam v-tec i have 1 of these out a crx but wana c some 1 do it before i atempt it :lol:
