[quote][i]Originally posted by J1M[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Ojc[/i] 16v is good fun, but they fall to pieces easily, I want to have a simular spec to Brosters mate Jim, his engine is excellent. [/quote] Firstly, thankyou very much for the kind words :) Secondly, the spec of the engine is as follows: New pistons, ARP rod bolts, main bearings set replaced, new big end bearings. Con-rods have been de-seamed and shot peened. Head and block Chemically cleaned. Head and block skimmed to increase compression to around 11:1. Block has been re-bored to 1650cc. Crankshaft has been reground. B+ head with additional porting and polishing. Piper A13BP300H cam. Black Diamond clutch. Webber twin 40 carburettors with 32mm chokes. Polished trumpets. Two K&N bolt on air filters. Twin throttle linkage. Fuel pressure regulator. NGK Sparkplugs. Magnecor leads. Magnex 4-2-1 manifold with heat wrap. Centre exit 2 1/4" bore, mild steel custom exhaust. F13 gearbox with 4.53 final drive. Quaife ATB Diff. Griffith quick shift gear linkage. You say you want nothing too mental. I guess it depends what you're definition of mental is, lol. I'm not sure how much more mental I'd like to go. To get any more gains from the engine will cost hundreds if not more. My car has always had an 8v, hence my reason for sticking with it. Nowadays it's all too easy to stick a 2.0 16v into a Nova. In all honesty it is the cheapest way to get 150bhp in a Nova. Call it a respect thing if you like, but it's nice knowing that I have a 1.6 8v that can put down quicker times than a standard 2.0 16v. There is the age old argument "you could have spent just as much on a 2.0 and have more power" but that's not the point in my eyes. Good luck with the rebuild. Jim. P.S. For those that are interested, the rest of the spec can be found here: http://www.novaload.net/features/viewfeature.php?ref=3071 [/quote]
