Why mate? Its a nova sport. Its the fastest nova they made, and pretty rare.
You already have twin 40s, and i think the 16v may be slower than the standard sport....not sure about that. Anyone else any idea?

Oops too late already fitted roll cage seats harnesses, but as I said frm the begining Iam keeping all the original parts to put back as original if someone ever wanted to.
What BHP could u expect from a 16 16v on throttle bodies then??? mmmmmmmm sounds good!!!

Yeah, you'll see about 160Bhp on TB's (standard engine with uprated rod bolts) and about 180Bhp+ if you get the special SBD cams to match!!

160Bhp has seen my Nova run 14.7 down the quater, which is comparable (...better even?!) than most of the 2.0l 16v's.

Good handling, and the the ability to get 'off the mark' without bogging yourself down in wheelspin is a plus-point to this conversion :D
