will let you know next week some time, when it was last running it was fine just used to squat grip and go, im hoping this will be the same, its all down to driver styleQuote:

Well done mate sounds the boll*cks :thumb:
Awesome work my friend!
the nova is now safely home in the garage :d to say i am over the moon with the mapping is an understatement
it idles perfectly from cold, on 750cc injectors and 3 bar fuel pressure :eek::eek::eek::eek:
havent driven it properly yet only off and on to the trailor and down the short run up the street and into the garage!
i have a graph but it only reads 278bhp @ the wheels at 4250rpm it flat lines to 6500 before dropping off
torque flat lines also at 330 ft @ the wheels at 4400rom
the rate its increasing the mapper worked out that its around 350-360 @ wheels
which equates to 400-410 at flywheel
its holding 26.8psi :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
oil change tomorrow i think, a final nut and bolt check fit bumper and get it mot'd early next week
big up to dave young at mech motorsport he has spent in excess of 20 hours on it, i am very happy finally
ebngine did 500 miles on the rollers over the last week with out a single issue
Good to hear all seems to have turned out well for you mate! :)
cheers mate! :thumb: now its time to really enjoy itQuote:

Great result!
I thought you were mapping it yourself though?
i mapped the low down stuff but the software is not user friendly for road mapping and i got ****ed off with itQuote:

True mate but it's the fact that you put all that effort in the engine with the mods etc so getting a result like that makes you know it's been a worth whlie modification. If you had got way lower reult then it'd be a major facepalm headache moment.
I'll be well happy getting 210bhp from the LET with the induction kit, custom s/s exhaust and XE inlet cams fitted. That'd do me well for a while :)
end of the day the engine will make what an engine will make, if it had made 350 or 320 i wouldnt be complaining, tbh i guess many people will doubt the figures are realistic anyways, but i could've got more with a bigger more modern turbo (gt series) but why its just extra cost again and where do you draw the line, the turbo currently comes on boost a 2300rpm and holds power to 6500rpm thats a power band most gt series turbos will struggle with!Quote:

myself and paul have proved the t34's can produce good power on let's if mapped correctly and they are bullet proof:d.... so he sayslollollol
Testiment to both Pete Burgess and Dave Young. I rate both very highly indeed!
Pop over tomorrow thwn chav and we can get it ready for MOT!;)
yeah ok mate:)Quote:

No other news really, i am hoping to make the bumper fit and get it for mot in the next few weeks
Front end looks brutal, a deffo warning of the power underneath. What exhaust system you running?
its just a 3" system using cnc bends 2 boxes, made by my mate who is a powerflow dealerQuote:
