Help!!

[M_Parsons]

I have a 1.0L Nova SR! I'm wanting to buy an induction kit for it, but the only induction Kits I can find are advertised for a 1.4, 1.6 GTE/GSI.

If I was to use the 1.4 Induction kit, would it matter?

Any Help would be greatly appriciated!

Feel free to mail me with any suggestions: martin1986@tiscali.co.uk

Thanks

[Jack]

They didn't make a 1.0 SR - are you sure on the engine/trim level?

If its an SR it'll be either a 1.3 or 1.4 carb engine. You can get K&Ns for these.

If its a 1.0... not sure if you can get one for those!

[edit]BTW are you looking at the K&N 57i induction kits? They're for injection engines. Your SR/1.0 will be carb so requires a bolt-on filter.

[dannyb]

There is no such thing as a 1.0 SR, GM never built one. There is no point fitting an induction kit to a 1.0 anyway, the gain will not be very much, if anything at all, especially considering the outlay of making an induction kit fit.

[mowgli]

sorry, there is no point tuning a 1.0, stick an ohc engine & box in.

[M_Parsons]

lol, Sorry Guys, It deffinatly a 1.0L SR. I even checked the Registration documents.

Its also finely printed on the side of the car.

Can i use a 1.4 Induction kit or not?

[Iain]

Pics of documents and car please lol There's no 1.0 SR

[Timmy]

we are tell you it not a 1lt sr FACT

[Dave.]

they never ever made a 1.0l sr
you sure its a sr and someones downrated the engine, eg put a 1.0l in it for cheaper insurance?

[Adam]

An induction kit wont fit a 1L.

And this is a technical question :)

[Jack]

Yup, as said the induction kits (57i) are for injection engines so will not fit the carbed 1.0.


you sure its a sr and someones downrated the engine, eg put a 1.0l in it for cheaper insurance?
Putting a 1.0 into a 1.3/1.4 would make the insurance more expensive than having the standard engine in!

[Adam]

And would be a seriously stupid idea

[M_Parsons]

Too dark for pics, maybe another time

[M_Parsons]

Maybe not that you know off!

I **** you not, Its a 993 engine size, and has a SR badge, plainly on each door.

It has not been down graded as I'm the first owned to want to do anything like this too it. The previous owner is a good friend of mine and never thought about changing the engine. The engine is the original.

[Jack]

I **** you not, Its a 993 engine size, and has a SR badge, plainly on each door.
Pics of the car and engine required please lol

Its definately not going to be a 1.0 SR, not original from the factory anyway - there's seriously no such thing! ABI don't even have it logged as an available model.

[Stuart]

then its got SR stickers on the doors of a 1.0 base model car. post pics of the exterior and interior please :p


but back to the "topic" no point in spending money on the 1.0 engine, its a total waste of time

[Adam]

Perhaps the doors were replaced with ones off a sr model.

[Nobby]

pmsl i love these kinda people!! pics will reveal all!! Must be rapid fire for a 1.0 SR

[M_Parsons]

LOOK! This has been my car for over 2 years, I should know. I have even been to a sodding garage to work this one out.

Now to P I S S over your fire, Its also Fuel Injected.

lol

[M_Parsons]

Original Doors to. And Yes, Its very quick. Cant say much for the suspension though!

[Adam]

Lol

Can you be sure the doors are original? ;)

[M_Parsons]

YES! I have all documentation for all repairs carried out, and all service reciepts aswell. I have studyed close, and there are no mentions of door replacements.

Bearing in mind, the guy who gave it to me was the kind of person who would log everything, Inc Petrol and minor repairs!

[Novadex]

lol you wouldnt argue with the pope about god... This is "nova"load :thumb:

THERE IS NO NOVA 1.0LTR SR

[M_Parsons]

Yes, Yes i would, the pope is a D I C K. I have many friends who are mechanics and they all have said what I have said to you.

[Novadex]

well your friends are wrong! end

[Iain]

lol

[M_Parsons]

You may think that, but at least i know i have a nice little car that is quick and reliable (ish).

:D

[Jack]

And not original :D

This is a random thread really... lol

[Novadex]

well you sound like a good lad! most people would get all p1ssy and strop there point. However you are wrong, look at the features section... do ya see any 1.0sr section there?

http://www.novaload.net/forum/featurecars.php

[Stuart]

its a 1.4 then not a 1.0 lmao...

[Philsutton]

lmfao there is going to be some serious ownage happen when you do post pics up. My best advise to you is stop posting on this account, start another one an forget that you started this thread. Either that or your about to whole load of abuse lol. Just accept that your wrong an all will be fine.

[H15 NVA]

no i agree with him its a 1.0l sr with fuel injection they made only 2 in conjunction with nasa, i own the other one, i would take pics but it was painted with vampires blood so isnt visible in pictures or mirrors. they came with unbreakable 4wd, gullwing doors and std 0-60 of 4.8s 1/4in 11.8

[Nobby]

Yeh yeh my 1.2 GSI is the same has GSI Stickers on the door and the boot iirc, but it is a 1.2 16v engine that was standard and ive been to garages and they have agreed with me, its pretty nippy to and rliable - ish!! hehe think you you have something on you lip mate lol :p :thumb:

[Nobby]

******* you go there 1st lol

[H15 NVA]

ha ha only just thou!!!

[Lucky Luke!]

Your a d i c k M parsons.

Whats with this sudden surge of newbies with attitude?

must be Gaskells friends...

[draper]

were there any 1.0 injection engines ??

[tom reid]

I'll give him injection, UP HIS JACKSY!

He'll be doin lots of this:eek:

[Nobby]

Not that i know of the only 1.0 injection engines in Vauxhalls are the 3 cylinder 1.0 12v engines ?

[Nobby]

I'll give him injection, UP HIS JACKSY!

He'll be doin lots of this:eek:

ay??????????????????:gay:

[Philsutton]

agreed only injection ones were the 3 cylinder bad boys, now they are a seriously **** engine.

[draper]

and not found in novas ????

[Philsutton]

not that im aware of, but then again ive never seen a 1.0lt sr so yes they could exist

[draper]

altho ive had a few novas running on3 cylinders if that counts ?? lol

[ANDYRACER]

lollollollollollol
I like people like you, you make my day at work go even faster. :D
Thank You.

[Jack]

Give the guy a break - ok he may be a little misguided but at least he's not come on and been abusive, and can type properly lol

No doubt pictures will reveal where the confusion is. You never know, it might be a 1.3 SR with the Irmscher injection setup on it...

[M_Parsons]

lol. Well I'll let you think that. What can I say, You drive a corsa!...:D

[H15 NVA]

yeah but it aint a 1.0l sr corsa lol

[M_Parsons]

LMAO, Yeh, but I like it! Apart from needing a re-spray, its a nice little car!

[M_Parsons]

Pics will be up tomorrow anyway, Make your judgement then, but I aint taking the p i s s or winding any of you up.

Registration Documents Reads as follows:

Make: Vauxhall
Model: Nova Trip
Body Type: 3 Door Hatch
Cylinder Capacity: 993
Fuel Type: Petrol
Wheel Plan: 2 Axel Ridged Body
Colour: Red (ish)

Thats the Documents anyway, Pic will be on tomorrow!!!

[Nobby]

Registration Documents Reads as follows:

Make: Vauxhall
Model: Nova Trip


says it all 2 me mate:thumb:

[Timmy]

i think someone has change doors or added stickers. did Sr have SR on the doors i though it was only the GTE and GSI that had?

[JSeymour]

where does it say its a sr? its a trip.

my nova is an 1.4 sr and when i cheecked the reg it even said it was.

lmao at this thread.....post some pics up, youve been owned but seem ok lol

[JSeymour]

i think someone has change doors or added stickers. did Sr have SR on the doors i though it was only the GTE and GSI that had?

a lot of novas had there model names on the doors

[H15 NVA]

LMAO, Yeh, but I like it! Apart from needing a re-spray, its a nice little car!

noooo dont re spray it, might come out the paint booth as a 1.0l novastra vxr 888 diesel

[Philsutton]

Im not doubting the fact that your car is probably very lovely indeed, it just isnt a 1.0lt sr. It could be a 1.3/1.4 sr that has had a 1.0lt put in it for some reason and thus had the engine size change on the log book making it a 1.0lt sr, or it could be a 1.0lt base model that has had sr panels fitted to bo it up a little.

Fact of the matter is its not a 1.0lt sr as the factory intended.

opps didnt see your above post:

Actually its a ****ing nova trip lmfao, there you go its just got some sr badges on or sr panels. quite simple really as nova rot and has probably had some changes. Youve just owned yourself there lol
http://www.birkoph.com/owned/owned_help.jpg

[draper]

now then, without being rude or disrespectful fella BUT when you read the logbook and it said nova trip didnt you think that was a bit of a clue ?? or did you think it was a typo ??

[M_Parsons]

Explain to me why its a racing engine then. No other standard 1.0L Nova that i have seen is able to rev to 7.5 before hitting its red line. Even at 7500RPM, its pulls like a bitch.

If you guys think its not a SR, give me some suggestions to find out, and clear the matter up?

[draper]

your log book ??
vauxhall didnt make a 1ltr SR ??
are you actually sure its a 1.0L engine, as in the engine code ??


and my god, a 1l race engine - are you gaskells dad ??

[M_Parsons]

Maybe the registration defect was the fact that I failed to mention it, or put it on the reg docs!

It might well be an SR, Your not a F U C K I N G genius are you!!?

[M_Parsons]

Yes you T W A T, It is a 1.0L.

Vehicle hand book says its a 10S (Is that sport)
But the Badges on the door and tail gate say SR

[beavy69]

The engine is the original.

Yet it is an injected 1.0 that revs beyond 7500 rpm that you say is a race engine?

Right, no more funny business! Tell us which Saxo forum you're working for!lol

[draper]

no sport was a 1.3, so your basing your whole theory you have a racing SR on a few poxy decals and are calling ME a tw@t ???? jog-on

[Jack]

Explain to me why its a racing engine then. No other standard 1.0L Nova that i have seen is able to rev to 7.5 before hitting its red line. Even at 7500RPM, its pulls like a bitch.

[tom reid]

Draper, your'e not going to let him away with that, are you?

[draper]

he will always get away from me in his race engined 1.0l sport

i feel so inferior

[beavy69]

What mpg do you get from this magic engine? lol

[draper]

4million and a half ???

[beavy69]

Seriously though pix are the only way to solve this one - of everything?

But to start with are the tubes of the inlet manifold square and is it SPi of MPi?

[savs_redtop]

lol cant wait to see some pics, what a joke!!

[M_Parsons]

Yeh whatever dude!!

[draper]

but pics WILL show it as an SR - remember kids, it has SR decals

tbh mate your making yourself look stupid, to start with i thought you were just misguided, we try and help and get insults ???

[beavy69]

As least all this pointless banter will boost your number of posts ;-)

[Ash]

right lets make this simple...

What colour is it?

What colour is the interior?

Are the seats buckety?

How many spokes does the steering wheel have?

Ash

[M_Parsons]

You were not helping at all! I was just trying to establish wether i was able to fit an induction kit, all i needed was a yes or a no, not a bloody lecutre on what my Nova is or isnt.

[JSeymour]

go to the feature pages and fined a pic of an engine bay that looks like yours, copy and paste it, then get owned all over again when its a pancake styly air box like the one you have on your 1.0L but you seem to think its a injection system! lol

[Ash]

we still dont know the the engine really is? we dont know what the inlet looks like?

A

[draper]

you can fit an induction kit to a 1.0l but why would you ??

you said it was injection, its not
you said it was an SR, its not
you said its a race engine, im guessing not

3 strikes - your out




if any of the above is true and im wrong i will apologise and buy you a pint

[Ash]

anything like that \/

http://www.novaload.net/images/car_images/1893big6.jpg A

[Jack]

As said, to advise what filter you can fit we need to know what engine you have. Hence all the confusion over your engine, as the 1.0s are not injection.

Incidentally. 10S is the engine code. My Nova was engine code 12NV - doesn't mean it has Nitrous Valves lol

[Ash]

[euro sbd]

mate dont do it. dont try to make a 1.0ltr faster it aint worth it. as for the sr debate go to a vauxhall dealers and they can check there records and tell you for definate NO there was never a 1.0ltr sr made. if you want a 1.0ltr engine for free i got one here your more than welcome to take (i can even stick a sr sticker on it if you like) lol just messing mate:thumb:

[M_Parsons]

Just to get a few things straight! I'm not a mechaniclly minded person, I only came on here to ask a question. Neither of those Pics looks like my engine!

[draper]

so if your not mechanically minded why not take our advice ???

[H15 NVA]

and my god, a 1l race engine - are you gaskells dad ??

raoflmfao lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

[M_Parsons]

Instead of the slander, why dont you try and give me pointers, I build PC's not Cars.

[Novadave06]

yer its a nova trip 1lr Lol if it was a Sr it would say on the Doc's Vauxhall Nova Sr Or SRI !!! you TIT !!!

[Ash]

i expect a 1.0lt nova does pull well compaired to a PC, shame really life isn't like a computer game..

Ash

[draper]

we was giving you pointers - its not an SR !! even your log book says its not an SR !!

[M_Parsons]

OK OK! I stand corrected (untill tomorrow)

Even if it is a standerd 1Ltr, its amazingly quick for a small engine. Help would be greatly appriciated, I'm not a mechanic, well not a car mechanic anyway!

[H15 NVA]

sure its even a flucking nova???

[M_Parsons]

Fluckoff you tart. Im not F,ucking blind

[draper]

stuart will have a field day with this thread lol

CLEARLY!!! lol

[NOV4_SPORT]

the telly has been pish tonight so i thought i would check out the net, so glad i did now, just spent the last five mins wetting myself, they never made a 1ltr sr, it would say "sr" on the v5, also my bro owed a "trip" 1 ltr engine, poverty spec, i guess we shall need to see the pics, some one has probebly tried to made a look a liky "sr" lol

[Novadave06]

this therd is sooo F**cking funny !!! at the end of the DAY !! on your reg doc's it saying its a Vauxhall Nova TRIP *GET IT TRIP NOT A SR!!!* i think you must get wet dreams over this amazinly quick 1lr SR LOL ! i am not being funny but there aint a quick 1lr nova maybe little neppy but not quick ! so you sad Gimp get it into your head your on NOVALOAD !!! everyone on here knows stuff about novas but obvs you dont soo take everyones advice and believe us when we say its not a SR !!! and if it happens to be then the reg docs havnt been changed ! but vauxhall never ever ever ever never ever made a 1LR Nova SR !!! unless they maded one just for little old you ! GET IT !!!

[H15 NVA]

all the quickest 1/4milers are 1.0l's anyone wanna straight swap my 171bhp xe for a std 1.0l sr lump??

[beavy69]

M Parsons, you must find it extra amusing as a PC builder, that what would have taken a couple of mins to set you straight about in real life, has taken 10 pages (so far) of a forum.

[M_Parsons]

right lets make this simple...

What colour is it?

What colour is the interior?

Are the seats buckety?

How many spokes does the steering wheel have?

Ash
Colour: Red
Interior: Grey ish
Buckety Seats: Yes
Stearing Wheel: 2 Spokes

[General Baxter]

it must have one of these

[M_Parsons]

lol, Its the most amusement i have had all day!!

[Novadave06]

rite its the 1lr interiour not SR OR SRI INTEROIR AS MY NOVA 1.2L had grey interior soo its a 1lr nova with Sr stickers on it !

[ANDYRACER]

Colour: Red
Interior: Grey ish
Seats: Yes
Stearing Wheel: 2 Spokes

So it has a 1.0 steering wheel and an sr interior fitted.

So its a 1.0, if u think a 1.0 is quick my god dont buy a 1.4 ull scare yourself.

I used to have a 16v badge on my nova sr does that make it a 16v?

Now shouldnt you be in bed, getting some sleep so ur all bright eyed, and bushy tailed for school tomorrow? :thumb:

[M_Parsons]

Wether it is or it isnt, I'm happy with it, it works and its quick. The guy i got it from was not into performance enhancing, so as it stands, its a standard engine with no extras!

[M_Parsons]

HA! Do you even know how old I am! Moron! I left School 4 years ago, and have done 3 years in college!

Yeh i do think its quick, I have driven bigger cars than a 1L Nova for
Example: 485 bhp Ferrari 550
Ford Capri 2.8 Tickford Turbo <- Deff the best

im so sorry everyone im such a homo and i know absolutly nothin about cars,i was clearly mistaken and appologise, im not even sure if what ive got is a nova, and im too retarded to listen to the advice of people who clearly know what theyre talkin about!! i understand ill never be able to attend a meet or event with a novaload presence in the future!!!!

well thats very big of u mr Parsons, appology accepted.

I prefer to line my inlet with barbed wire to create a semi vortical molecular smash effect. Water injection is added to this which oxidizes the mixture taken into the engine filling it with with a noise reducing agent known in the industry as R.U.S.T.

My car also burns more rubber due to the revolutionary compound in the rubber bung I plug the exhaust end which also plusses the engine's back pressure and helps the turbo to work harder for the car.

[M_Parsons]

Very Funny! Hope you got a lot of joy from writing that!

[beavy69]

Glad you like it!

**** doing these 2ltr conversions, 1ltr is where its at, if its as fast as you say it is

to be fair, we dont really let many people 'in' most people get shot down at 10 paces for a small slip up, but this guy is a knuttbar and does really believe that he drives a 1.0 SR.

You were not helping at all! I was just trying to establish wether i was able to fit an induction kit, all i needed was a yes or a no, not a bloody lecutre on what my Nova is or isnt.
I gave you an answer about 250replies ago.

[Stuart]

time was when the chat room was well used, that if you were new and could make it through an evening or two of the severe piss taking then you'd be on the site for a long time lol.

had all kinds of tall tales to get new folks going.... like the first LET'd nova being so fast it cracked your spine, the 118 and 125 stings hee hee, all sorts really. So if this chimp stays and takes the abuse hes probably going to be a medium term user..

[Matt2107]

I few possible suggestions for his posts

1. He's certified
2. He's on crack
3. He likes to wind people up
4. He is a servent of God

I just think he's a little confused ;) and really doesn't know when to stop digging that hole.

Incidently... if your still unsure whether it has a 1ltr fitted.. which side of the head is the oil cap on? Hope you stick around too...

[JSeymour]

HA! Do you even know how old I am! Moron! I left School 4 years ago, and have done 3 years in college!

its amazing how you think your 1.0L nova is fast when youve driven ^^


lies, all lies....

[savs_redtop]

Think ive found what hes talking about!

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p90/savs_redtop/parsonsnova.jpg

[H15 NVA]

cant be that one sav, its clearly a turbo, it says it on the screen top so it must be!!!!!! lol

[savs_redtop]

lol but seen as its 1.0lt sr thought it might of had the turbo as standard. lol

[kronk10]

I think hes dug his own grave if it is a wind up please stop now. If not can admin please ban this guy mainly because he started getting really arsy and swearing at most people on thread this is funny it really is but is not needed on this forum.:)please ban him:thumb:

[BigStan]

Just read it all, what a truly amazing thread !

i vote

2. He's on crack

[vallanc3]

this is probably the funnyest thing ive seen.
a guy comes onto a nova forum and trys to tell people about some random nova his mates made up.
does your mate have a lotus nova by any chance?

[Dave]

This thread made me laugh...loudly and for a long time!

but as the guy said he knows nowt about cars and to that fact if a car says sr on the doors + tailgate he probably thought it was.

the fact that he's somewhere and somehow come up with the fact that it is a 1.0 race engine that is quick and revs to 7500k is a false and even if true everyone would need proof before it's beleived!

so to answer the original question you can't fit an induction kit, you'd have to go for a 'pancake' filter which bolts over your carb but as said before is not worth doing best bet to do if you want a slight improvement is drill some holes and cut away some sections of the air box that's on the car now BUT make sure they're on the out side of the air filter!!!!!!!!! or all you'll do is let dirt an crap into your cylinders!

best thread i have ever seen! this guy should win an award! i cant believe he hung in there for so long. still, no pictures today i see.......

and btw, as for engines revving to 7,500, my 13SB (Sporty B***ard) revs off its little sr clock (but it doesent sound too healthy...)

[Lucky Luke!]

**** me, no wonder my nova lost power when i took the 2.0l badge off! i'm off to get me a v6 badge that should boost my corsa!

[Ash]

thing is, how does he know it revs to 7500 rpm as a standard 1.0 doesnt have a rev counter...?

yes... i have too much time on my hands lol

[wudgey]

lol, Sorry Guys, It deffinatly a 1.0L SR. I even checked the Registration documents.

Its also finely printed on the side of the car.

Can i use a 1.4 Induction kit or not?

if youve checked u didnt check very well did you why dont you go and ask at a parts dealer for sumthing for your 1litre sr and they will do like we are now lol laughin at you

[Asa-James]

all wrong!! he only has a two spoke steering wheel!

[NOV4_SPORT]

so mr p, where are the photos off this mystical 1ltr SR ?

[Lucky Luke!]

Lets end this

if you can prove, i mean actual proof you have a 1.0l SR i will send you a cheque for ?200, i aint bull****ting either, this is a genuine offer.

[Asa-James]

some one photoshop quick!

I was thinking the same, how can he tell what it revs to on his povety spec interior. Although its an sr one but is grey and has a 2 spoke wheel lmfao. I bet it sounds like it revving well high, makes some noises like its about to blow up an thus is revving to 12k, all measured by the magic ear.

Its the fact that you keep coming on time after time an saying that your right were wrong that makes it so funny.

No nova as standard would rip the tarmac off the road, even the massive engined 1.6 GTE's so i very much doubt your "well rapid race prepped" 1lt will cause the local council much to worry about on the road repair front.

THANKYOU THANKYOU ALL ! MR P WELL DONE I WOULD HAVE ONLY LASTED TILL PAGE 3 MABY 4 I BOW DOWN TO THEE AND MY RESPECT GOES OUT TO YOU AND YOUR CAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lee-Gsi]

great thread

[Dar]

This reminds me of this claim that was made by someone on another forum.


Just one final point, 1.2 nova engine with 1.3 cam and 1.3 twin choke carb - that is built for "revving its **** off all day long"! They will rev to 9 or 10 thousand rpm and love it, the 1200 bottom ends are indestructable!

Great thread, although its got to be a wind up. Still amusing though.

[beavy69]

Don't know what you've bin doing to yours mate but so long as they're put together properly and you warm them up properly they're pretty solid. But then I've only had two and am also going on what other people have said. How high did you rip it and what cam you got?

[Ash]

i've had mine to about 7750ish not very often tho - it's useless, but it's funny because my digidash used to turn off after 7250 lol.

[Lee]

Ill pay 100 quid if I can have video proof of the 1.0 at 7500K's lol

Itll be worth it just to see how high the pushrods go. I rekon most of the way into orbit!

[Novadex]

i think Mr P has vanished...

[NOV4_SPORT]

i think we scared him off lol, good bye Mr P lol

[novaboyopr]

ive been reading this for 15 minutes and have nearly falled off my chair from the sheer laughter!!!!
what a plank!!!

hope he never returns

[kronk10]

My tuned 1400 will rev to 7000rpm but even with rebuilt top and bottom ends i dont like to do it. Just to be on the safe side:thumb: this guy must have been a wind up he must have been:wtf:

you dont want to know what ive done to some, given the correct treatment they will let go quicker than most french engines.
