Vtec in a nova it can't be done.... Or can it?!?

Sorry to all following this thread I've neglected it a bit huge up date finally found an auto electrician willing and cleaver enough to take on the task of wiring the engine up had him round a few times and on Sunday got the engine fired up! Very exciting fired instant huge sigh of relief all round got a little clip of it starting and running I'll get it up asap bit up in the air at the mo as I'm moving house as well.

Just thort I'd let people know the project is progressing and not stopped

Next step is finish all wiring off, buy a tuneable ecu, get it tuned and enjoy lol

Fantastic mate, Honda engine in a small nova has to be really worth to seeing.lol

I hope to see a video soon.:thumb:

lol.

I joke mate. Just read through, makes a change to find something done with a nova that has either never been done before/rarely done.
Not upto date on honda engines at all, you reckon this one is bombproof as they say??

Just tried it on my iPhone, you can sign up if you go on the YouTube website, scroll down, click on 'desktop' then you have the normal site, therefore you can make an account, then upload using the app! :)

lol here's hoping it's bomb proof the standard unit is but you can never be sure with any highly modded engine but I've built and run a few of these engines and not had any big probs having said that I've never had one as high spec as this but I'm fairly confident in it

Short YouTube vid now on search "nova vtec first start up" should find it please read the discription

Great to see it in there and running.

Out of interest how much wider does the track need to be with the engine in?

Brilliant stuff on getting this up and running. :cool:

Here's your youtube link ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_ZcfoArfTQ

Win. As long as you are confident then that's all that matters :)

Would love some videos of this blasting round a track

Bens 2nd civic ran one of the B16 engine's in it.

Had a dyno printout of 175bhp at the wheels, and had a tendancy to ping it off the limiter every five minuites...that never broke.

The D14 honda engine in the first car (1.4, single cam 16v, non vtec) took enough boost to make a dyno'd 180bhp at the wheels, that had the same treatment, and a month of running an original ECU with no remap, and proceeded to last three months further of him winding the boost controller up a smidge every other day...cant remember for **** what he was running when it finally broke, but i know it was well over 12psi (with a standard head gasket, head studs, pistons, rods, crank, standard compression, and 91,000 on the clock)

VERY strong engines, only reason i'd ever own one tbh!!

What's the engine out of a jordan or just a vti mate. My mate has an ek9 nothing beats the noise

What, this sound?

:d


The thing that always gets me with that video, is at what point precisely in life do you realise you can accurately impersonate a honda civic using an old drainpipe?

f lol

i wouldnt have said the impersonation of the vtec yo! but the inline 6 turbo that sounds just like a skyline with turbo flutter as well! wtf lol

lmao wtf thats brill!!!
