Engine mods - what to expect.

[Anonymous]

I am considering buying a Nova GTE :), which has the following engine Mods:Martin Bower Big Valve head, enem cam? What the hell R they? :-/
It also has 40's and a 57i induction kit.
So...... is this any good? will they make much difference to the performance? I know the 40's will but the head & cam?
I'm not planning on keeping the car, it's just I cannot sell mine but he's gonna do a P/X and then I'll sell the nova at Xmas or summit.......

40s and a 57i?

40s are carbs

and a 57i is made for injection

16v Nova - Toolkit, Trouble, Points and great expence all come as standard :)

oh yeah, good job u pointed that out!!
GTE's R in injection! So why does he have twin 40's in the AD?
Maybe it's a sign to steer clear then......
Lets say it's a genuine mistake tho, wot difference does a enem cam and a martin thinghy head make?

The bloke doesn't go under the username of K&N does he? Lol!
Go and look at it. I've not heard the name for the head work b4 but it maybe a competition rally head or similar. Try rally site forums. To be any good it will need larger inlet valves - exhausts are optional.
Ask for the phone number of the head modifier.

A tuning guy near me recommends Enem cams over the Kent cams, says they are better built. its all ablout the power.
anything else, I aint got a clue!

yeah went to see it, had all the mods that were listed, really quick, snorted with power, but I'm gonna buy an Astra GTE instead.
