2.0 litre 16 v help

[djbrowney]

Hello there,
I have a 2.0 litre 16v in my nova, running a f20 gear box, it was put on the dyno last week and is running 159.5 bhp, which i was well happy with
But when hitting the limiter in 5 gear its only doing about 140 mph, is this right, i know two other people who have had 2.0 16v novas.
one had 163 and the other 157, are they talking rubbish or is there something up with mine djbrowney

Sounds about right to me, LOL @ 157mph & 163 mph !!
lol

PMSL, 163 mph in a nova? No one is that brave!

[Philsutton]

140mph sounds about right. The speed they say they have done is what it says on the speedo not real speed. I had the corsa at about 166mph on the rollers with quite a bit still to go but i full **** myself. Forget trying to do that on road lol

[djbrowney]

the one who was 163 said it was on sat nav but didnt know wether to belive him or not, does this mean there is something not quite right with mine then. only doing 140 !!!

[Philsutton]

no 140 is what they do, he didnt do 163 even if god himself said he did.
