The map was absolutely awful, and up top wasnt the worst place either, the part throttle on boost ignition was.

Whatever happens with it, for gods sake dont go driving it on that map till its been checked and altered by someone who knows what they are doing, and that most certainly is NOT whoever told you that map is ok! It isnt!

The schoolboy errors in that map are bad enough that anyone who couldnt spot them really shouldnt be allowed near a car!

PS

Hope the rebuild all goes according to plan and you get good results this time after all the hard work :D

wow just lookin back at your pics there thats one hell of a clean nova that i havent really been on here for a while mate just had a quick glance on the last pages are you rebuilding the engine now

and 5 litres of this stuff to run it in on, its has very high zinc content which protects the drivetrain when first run

the engine has undergone a full rebuild only thing that remains from old engine is block and crank everything else is new its taken pete (engine builder) in total 70hrs in total to strip , inspect, clean, measure, bore, and re assemble it. it is built as a competition engine and the tolerances inside the engine are what you would expect from any high performance, race engine!

Good to see you've got it back fella......I expect another update within the next few weeks showing it back in! ;)

Looks well mate
