Trully bautiful car mate fancy coming to do my nova ??? ;)
Love the body not to keen on the dash mindya ...... 10/10
Looks stunning Joff.
Quick update .....
Just been sorting out some new spark plugs and a revised fuel pressure regulator.....
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15...a/PICT0065.jpg
Also changed the yellow bosch injectors for some bosch red ones from a Saab (which have been cleaned and refurbed by the local Bosch Fuel Injection place)
Sorted an oil change so I am now 100% fully synthetic .... Mobil 1's finest!
All this is in readiness for a rolling road & rechip session this Friday at The Racing Line in Halifax The Racing Line
I have been recommended by a pal who had his Evo VIII sorted there and he reckons they know what they are doing . Spoke to them on the phone and they were asking the right questions about the engine spec ..... so I will scan in the charts when I get back.
Also need to get the nitrous bottle filled this week as well so they can make sure that this is running right on the rollers as well.
Will update once I have further news!
Joff
Good luck mate.
i bet you have put some money love and effort in to it good to see sum one who loves his nova
10 out of 10 mate i sin thant nova in total vauxhall
How much nitrous are you using and what type of rollers do they have ?
Personally I'd avoid using the gas on the rollers if its a braked type of setup and from LOTS of testing recently we have seen some extremely strange figures using widebands to tune nitrous.
Myself and Gaz'd with the Corsa have both lost engines due to trusting widebands, usually on gas they show rich when infact its running completely the opposite.
Feel free to drop me a PM, got plenty of experience in this and wouldn't want you to potentially ruin a good engine

As mentioned I had a session booked on the rollers at a spot called The Racing Line , in Halifax tucked up on a small industrial estate on the outskirts.
Simon the chap who runs it seems to know how to get the most from these engines , although he specialises in the Evo's (there was a nice Evo X with just a 1000 miles on the clock getting a remap when I arrived)
Pics of the nova on the rollers ....

The session was really a game of two halves ..... got it set up and warmed up and gave it a few run ups and came up with this on standard management....
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15...nova/RRoad.jpg
I was a bit miffed at this as I was wanting at least 260 bhp - aparently the boost controller on the standard ECU's are pants and this is what was holding it back.
So the nova came off the rollers for a while whilst I swapped over the standard chips for some EDS phase II ones I had brought with me , just in case we needed that little extra .... and I'm glad I did .... the results ......

WOW - 295 bhp and 310 ft/lb torque !!! Simon says his rollers are about cock on and read less than Well Lanes (which are a bit optimistic from experience)
Here's some video footage :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2hCl1wrVk8
Chuffed at that, but you will notice the boost comes in hard at 4500 rpm and at 5200 rpm it starts trailing off again - again due to the stock boost controller . I will be getting an Apexi jobbie which should smooth out the boost curve better.
It's an animal on the road now :D :D :D
