Well over 260hp, much nearer to 280hp imo

Ho will it be miles heavier? the turbo doesn't weigh that much more than a std manifold surely?

Combined with a F28 its WAY heavier

Shaun Larnder's mustard SR is running P2 and a hybrid putting out 290bhp. Its also got diff and sccr quaife and thats really quick with the box.

Personally I dont rate a sccr on a let, a KKK is well out of puff after 5500rpm so if Olz bolted one to his he'd spend his life out of the powerband, feeling fast and being fast are 2 different things

Having never driven a car with NOS does it really balance the power difference between high power TBs vs Turbo?

Look at Gaz'd Corsa for a example, clearly gets up and fooks off, with a touch over 300hp its nearly as quick as a Tigra with 505hp as it has useable power, if you use a controller you can have it deliver the nitrous as smoothly or as aggressive as you like


What are the other cars in the fwd class running? na or turbo?

NA and Turbo, Fiat in question was 400hp Turbo

I guarantee with the power Olz has he could beat that with a more tracktime

lol at bonnet!!! get a 5th pin loz! its gonna weigh sweet f*ck all and is cheaper than a new bonnet when a gust of wind hits it and wrecks it!

So does anyone know where team VX actually placed on Sunday? TOTB website only lists to 3rd

Just an idea olly but have you thought about doing something like this to aid air to the t/bs when youve got the foam filter on? The bit at the top in the middle.its on a corsa on another site(pinched from daveb at c/s;) )

Steve - www.VauxSport.com for all TOTB news mate :)

Matt,

Corsas are different engine bays to Novas, as Novas experience massive updraft from up behind the block, and behind the slotted scuttle panel when driving along, so the cool air comes from under the bay, upwards, even moreso when firewall is removed like mine is...

That was proven when I had the bonnet jacked up at the back, driving down the dual carriage way, it was lifting in the middle, at the back massively!

So therefore, it would be of no benefit for me to do what Dave has done.

I need to have words with him, regarding his tumble dryer pipework, as it needs to be somewhat more direct than looping over and under bits and bobs :thumb:

Should I want downdraft air intake, i'd fit a monteray bonnet vent again, ala my white one :)
