Project Winter Freshen Up

Right not much happened recently as i've been waiting for engine builder to dyno the engine then drop it off to be lifted onto its mounts.

To say i had a high then followed by a low was an understatment. The high being it managed 228bhp on Mr Toovey's dyno, the low founding out its not got the throttle bodies on i asked for.
Thats being sorted and the individual bodies pointing up so i can fit a filter or air box if required should soon be on.

Anyhow been today to where car is for a look and here are a few pics.

Unfortunatly now as its just over 3 weeks till i'am off to Le-Mans i've made the decision the Nova wont be going. Instead i will take my Golf GTI derv, which in one aspect wont be bad as i can sit back in the Recaro leather with the climate & a CD on instead of a numb ass, stinking of fuel in a noisy Nova!
Gutted though as was really looking forward to taking Nova on a road trip.

If anybody wants some brand new Jenvey twin bodies and inlet manifold, only run on dyno let me know!!

Martin

Looking amazing as always Martin. Great power as well, just a shame about the TB's been wrong. Bet you cannot wait now to get it on the road and see how it drives.

whats the spec of the motor matey? looks well in the bay:cool: :thumb:

head been match ported? just looks like the ex havent been opened up, due to the marks left from the gasket?:confused:

Its pretty mild spec.
It was built 4-5yrs back and just been re-opened up to check everything is still ok.
Put some new bearings in but everything else was sweet.

It has some mild Piper (if i remeber correctly) cams, pocketed pistons, bit of head work & thats about it.

Cheers

fair play matey. very good power then. only down the road from me too...well im in chester! lol

Looks great Martin, those TB's are silly close to the bulkhead, I'm guessing you wanted direct to head so they point up at an angle (like Marks (nick caro's old one)

He wants individual TB's not direct to head keith.

no theyre called parrellel t.b's.. the jury's out as to whether they give more lbft torque than direct to head, individual t.b's that martin wanted and is now getting..

Luvly stuff as per mart. 230bhp never looked and im sure sounded so good

:eek: :eek: :eek: NICE!!

Martin is moving to individual taper throttle bodies? Judging by what he has said.
