Looks fun, black looks great.
Fresh ideas, I like!
There was a z28net (2.8 v6 turbo from vectra vxr for those unsure) on eBay the other week, didn't fetch it's reserve! Maybe one for the future? Or is a turbine taking the p!ss when your already using a big v6 what with all the extras that come with terbo?
Still, £400 thorney remap and you've got 300bhp & 400lbs torque!
Glad to see another nutter gone down the v6 route, whats the bhp of the 3.2? One of the vectra b 2.5s was 195bhp (ish) wasn't it?
How come you've gone with the f18 over the f20? they have a bit of a reputation of blowing up the diffs lol lol
:cuckoo: :thumb: a like to see little pocket rockets
good on you mate, ive built a few now and they are great fun. the sound is insane! not done a 3.2 though so i bet that'l make some sound!
i have my 2.5 mk1 for sale in the forsale section if anyone fancies one ;)
IIRC the 3.2 V6's are something like 215 - 220BHP. Would be interesting to see if the F18/20 can take the power.
we have already thought about turboing the 3.2 if the direct port nitrous kit doesn't get us into the 11's but i'm sure it will!Quote:

Yea be good to see the f18/f20 take that amount of power there an old box now though too would he not have been better fitting something a bit newer if could have got away with it. I mean going through all that trouble fitting the newer engine into a nova just to take it back out because the box had spat its dummy out seems a bit daft but each and everyone to there own lol.Quote:

I think too many people make a issue of boxes to be honest, i have only ever had 2 boxes go on me in 15 year and they were both on turbo engines, if it goes it goes i'll fit another.Quote:
