and the fact the rods are in the bottom end means you will be able to rev it and with it being a 0.63 it will hold boost to 7000-7500 and not tail off:d
should make for a very good spread of torque
nice mate ;)
update :- ready to map
finally got round to fitting a cambelt cover not painted yet but will do the job for now
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...DSC00046-1.jpg
also fitted some 90 degree bends for the chargecooler system:thumb: looks alot better imo
filled up the system will water wetter and water mix took around 6 -7 litres
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...a/DSC00048.jpg
installed a new internal shifter with quaife gearknob
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...a/DSC00049.jpg
also got some gauges - water temp, oil pressure and boost
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...a/DSC00042.jpg
wired them up

Looks much better with the bends now.
cant believe how good that water pump is for the chargecooler, though i suppose people use them to cool v8 engines and alike so a little charegcooler system is childs play.
gauges look good to, will do the job and you get to keep the radio :)
BIG UP JDM DYNO john is a legend it took 5 hours each way but well worth it the nova made
363BHP 382FT LBS AT ONLY 1 BAR!
we decided to leave it at that for the time being as the engine is brand new and hasnt really been run in so gie it a few weeks and well be back up for MORE BOOST!
VIDEOS AND PICTURES TO FOLLOW
Nice figures.
Plenty more to come then! excellent!
yeah but we just wanted to see how the car drove with this much power it suprised everyone with how much power it made on such low boost. The engine and tubo can easily run 2 bar but its weaTHER IT WILL BE DRIVABLE LIKE IT!
363BHP 382FT LBS AT ONLY 1 BAR!
im over the moon with it, it has the potential to make well over 400, although i will drive it round like this for a few weeks, get some miles on the engine, then maybe if i take a few brave pills back up for another 14psi of boost :)
its taken over 11 hrs driving there and back but it was well worth it!!!!
Good stuff.
Gotta be chuffed with that! Top result mate.
yes well happy! over the moon in factQuote:
