Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral nova 2lr 16v

any 1 got any ideas wot sort of time a 2ltr 16v nova does 0 to 60 an 1/4 mile top spead that sort of stuff

Depends whats in the engine.

0 to 60 is prob about 7 seconds and top speed will be 140-150

sounds good hoping 2 get 1 very soon

There was a red top engined nova that did the 0-60 run this weekend, got in the mid 5's. Had the 5-stud calibra alloys on too, was a very nice car.

thats well good for the money an insurance

Yea i was guessin about 7ish secs to 60

Seeing as my Astra does 7 seconds, expect a Nova to get at least 5 seconds, they're seriously fast with those engines in, and is a weekend's work to pop it in.
Do get the engine bay seam welded though.

am looking 2 get 1 with the 2ltr all ready in an then sell my corsa jus got 2 find 1 dont wont a 8valve wnt a 16there supose 2 be alot better

any got an idea wot a 2ltr turbo is jmust be super fast

the 2.0 turbo is usually used from the astra. the engine standerd is i think 205 bhp but can be turned very easily to about 300bhp. the only problem is getting grip with all that bhp. the 2.0 is alot more reliable than the 2.0 turbo, also none as a let

the c20let id the same engine as the c20xe but with a turbo and lowered compression ratios. if you go for the c20let it will be silly quick with 201bhp on tap standard. the c20xe is 147bhp out the box. personally i would go with the c20xe engine as the LET engine would just be two quick. but it would see of scoobys and the likes. end of the day its your choice and your money. but as stationmeik said make sure the engine bay has been seem welded and try to get one with struts or make them your first mod.

Dazza how fast did your escort do 0-60?

Went PV Show sunday and watched a 2ltr turbo nova up the strip. Got 12 seconds at 123mph or something like that. Was well quick

0 - 60 in about 8ish
