2litre novas......

[Dave_Hay]

well i came to a crossroads with my corsa and was just wondering a couple of things

do all the 2litre nova owners on here use there car everyday??

if i were to go back to novas i would drive 60miles a day including town driving for when im at uni.....

just wondering what its like - i know youd get used to no pas but it would be very annoying for manouvering, and last time i was in a car with no abs i wrote it off oooops

so i was wondering if anyone knows of any novas with pas added (how hard would it be to match a corsas set up - any room ??? ) and abs... i think that would be an easy enough fit but how hard would it be to wire it in with ecu???

above questions would be for a 2litre engine already in a nova.

i know this is kinda a techy post but i was thinking this is more of an open discussion too......

cheers

Don't be such a pussy. I use my turbo everyday and yes its heavy on the steering but i'm not a woman :P

You can put pas on a nova though.. look at the Novarally website, theres a guide how to do it.

poof


you dont need abs! unless you are totally shit

if you really want it though the abs unit (the bit with all the pipework) has the "ecu" built in and it has sweet FA to do with the engine ecu (except on rather complex very modern cars that have allsorts doing things together)

all you'd need to do is remove from a corsa and fit the relevant bits onto the nova, since its essentially the same platform for mountings etc.

I think he's on about Power Assisted Steering, u must have mis read Anti-lock Braking System somehow.

Pas must be well good on a 2L, especially when cornering hard at speed.

Well, I use my valver every day to and from work, about 50 daily miles, and to be honest, you can get by without pas, but on parking it would be useful. I'm thinking of going the corsa rack - paxo pump, but I need to find out how to connect the pump to receive a signal from the digidash transducer, so it'll go hard at high speed. :?:
Apart from that, just remember: On a valver, use low throttle openings in low gears!!!! :oops: 8)

what that about?
A valver isn't bad without pas. i drove mine 100 miles sometimes and was no prob

re: power steering get it sorted no need for it .

keep the standard steering wheel its big enough to gear it down for parking stuff with reasonable wheels

i used to use my for my 200 mile round trip to work.... no hassle at all

I used to use my nova everyday when it had the 2ltr in and it has a quick rack and 17's so the steering was fairly heavy but not to bad at all. Now its got the Turbo in i dont use it everyday as its to unreliable and the engine is never in! Rick
