As Connor said, on Saturday I went over to SVA Imports for their open day. I decided I may as well get the Nova dyno'd so I can give a reply to people when they ask what power it's running.
It made 129bhp at the wheels which I think is a bit optimistic. I shall be getting it dyno'd with a friends Corsa x14xe on bike carbs later this month or next month so we shall see then.
The feedback I got was that it drops in torque/power massively after 5,000rpm which is strange as these engines normally have power right up to the limiter. Anyway, the cause of this was soon found out as it was running rather low on fuel! When we left it had no power but once filled up with fuel it was fine again, fine enough to play with an e36 323i BMW lol.
At least I know to actually have some petrol in the tank before the next dyno lollol
I think i've also made up my mind about the Nova. Once I find a job (got made redundant the other week), i'm going to start saving for another car and once I purchase one i'll store the Nova and use it a 'weekend car'. The reason I don't want to sell it now is because I know that I will regret it badly. Plus it's a clean shell and I know how it's all been done.
