c20let or twin 40s

[hoob]

hello i got a nova 2.0 xe and i was planning to change it to a c20let but i not sure if to do that or put twin 40s on the c20xe instead what do you lot thinks better :thumb:

[Adam]

Behave.
40s or a 20let? lol

LET all day.

[burgo]

i spose the only factor to take into account is your budget

[hoob]

well i got the c20let and every think i need to go straight in the nova but didin no wether twin 40s was better so the budget side of things isint a problem

[ste porter]

are you a window licker?

[SRimon]

40s will all but strangle the XE, at least 45's...

Standard LET vs 45'd XE will be about 200ish BHP Vs 180ish BHP

[Adam]

40s will be "ok" until you get to higher revs.

[Dan 130]

if you said 45's or 50's maybe but 40's nah mate

[ste porter]

putting them on an xe is like straping a pillow across your face and running a marathon take the pillow away you will do it alot faster

[hoob]

ok so is twin 45 or 50s better then then having a let? ste porter i see ya point lol

[Adam]

40s are ok on a xe, with big chokes.
And will give better low end power/torque.

They will only strangle the engine at 6/7k rpm+


Id have a let over carbs ANYDAY.

[Dan 130]

sell the let and go for spunking the money on 45's some other goodie's its only because im not really into turbo's i prefer n/a power your choice

[ste porter]

45s would be better and would give more room for further mods in the future some would argue that 50s are over kill but on the same note anything over 300bhp is pointless in a front wheel drive car as once you break that sort of power mark putting the power down is a big issue but its becoming more and more common place to see 300 + motors

[hoob]

thanks for info. will 45s give you better acceleration then a let ?

[Adam]

No.
Let has more power and a shed load more torque.

[hoob]

thanks long live the nova i think i go for the let

[dave.gsi]

yep deffo go for the LET.:D

especialy as you allready have it sitting there.

plus did i read that budget wouldnt be a problem?! if thats the case you could make a seriously quick turbo nova
