2.0 litre 16v killer

[RobertosVTS]

I had a little race with a 2.0litre 16v nova the other day and i pissed all over it he thought i had done something 2 my engine but its standard the look on his face it was well funny. smileys/smiley17.gif

[wideboy]

er...well done? smileys/smiley24.gif

[Yates]

was it not running properly?

my mates 2 ltr 16v pissed over any saxo that came near him, also on scoobys and evos aswel

[w_jd_w]

erm congratulations smileys/smiley5.gif

[vtrkieran]

lol well done mate

[RobertosVTS]

The car was runnin right i think my vts is running bout 130bhp i dont know why he didnt piss all over my saxo i must just have a fast vts lol smileys/smiley17.gif

[w_jd_w]

what engine mods you done?

[Clouds_mate]

hes said above mate in the first post. His engine is standard

[w_jd_w]

soo hows his standard vts running 130bhp?

[Yates]

cos i think some early mk 2 vts's were 128 or sumthin? im sure damo will sort this one out, is yours a mk2 roberto?

[gafvts]

congrats, smileys/smiley10.gif .that nova could not be running right

[Scott]

there was never a proven 130 bhp vts model. never.

there was also a very specific engine it was reported to be, normally around X regish, engine had the mounting prongs for the EGR valve but had no EGR valve.

[Dan]

It wont be 130 bhp mate, im sure that nova would have beaten you if running right. smileys/smiley2.gif

[w_jd_w]

i didnt think a standard vts would be 130 bhp!

[RIBstaff]

thats the roumer. there has been plenty of posts regarsing them

[SteVTR]

the corsa cant of been running right a 2ltr redtop engine is putting about between 150-160bhp std so drop that in a nova n in a straight line it would destroy you on a twisty road you could keep up with it n if the vts was tuned you'd possibly beat it

it must of been running like a proper bag of shit or the lad cant drive

[shaddow]

iv raced my mate in his 2.0 redtop corsa and i beat him in a strainght line but my vts has full de-cat, bmc and re-mapped ecu but i wouldnt have been far off as standard, sounds like the one you raced may have been a 2.0 8 valve. but well done anyway

[Yates]

my mates raced a 2ltr red top in his vts, he has everythin done to it apart from turbo/supercharge, and stil the corsa beat him, he was able to keep up

shaddow ur mates corsa must be fucked then

[shaddow]

the corsa must have had about 200bhp then!
admidedly my friends corsa is a standard 2.0 with a exhaust but it runs fine. think the main advantage is the weight of a saxo. or like you said the corsa may not have been running right. they are old engines after all.

[Yates]

a corsa with a 2ltr engine is not standard!!!!!!

i think that the cav 2ltr red top is about 150bhp so even a saxo with all them mods mite not touch 150 and with the speed of them both i would stil favour the corsa

[shaddow]

can see where your coming from but its always a tough one, cos some of the 2.0's will be nacked where as other will be running close to 180bhp easily so when you race one you never now.

[SteVTR]

a corsa with a 2ltr engine is not standard!!!!!!

i think that the cav 2ltr red top is about 150bhp so even a saxo with all them mods mite not touch 150 and with the speed of them both i would stil favour the corsa

yeah they are 150 or 156 std

shaddow the weight of a saxo?a corsa isnt that much heavier even with a 2ltr in then theres the extra power n torque of a 2ltr redtop the saxo wouldnt beat it unless the engine is shot to shit n the guy cant drive

[shaddow]

its prob the latter, he cant drive ha ha

[rsands]

i watched someone race a 1.6 focus and a 1.4 saxo down a straight! the saxo won...alot of it is down to the driver! its ok having the power...but unless you know how to use it theres no point!


its a bit like Formula One....there all running same engines nearly...but how come drivers are miles behind? ....down to the driver


but i don't see the point in racing people...only damaging your car like!

[tgazvtr]

right cav man is here even though i sold it today,

the nova must of defo not been running right or it was not being used to its full protential.

the engine will of been either 150bhp or 156bhp if standard, the diference is that the 150 is from the k-reg cavs or mk3 astra gsi with a cat, the 156 is from early cav gsi's and mk2 astra gte,s.

a mate of mine had a nova with a xe conversion and it pished all over most things including my mates brothers 220 bhp fiesta turbo.

hope that helps a little.

also are you sure it wasnt the 8v engine?

[Phatsaxo55]

theres a lad floating round my area in a 2.2 twin turbo nova. smileys/smiley5.gif dunno how or who he is but rumours of 300bhp are common.Anyone heard anything like this?

[RobertosVTS]

I sort of know the bloke with the nova and it was runnin fine as loads of his m8s asked me what i had done 2 mine he couldnt keep up with my vts and he knows how 2 drive i know they havent proven that the earlier mk2 vts were 130bhp mines is an xreg if u ask damo bout the nova as he knows the people who know him tell him 2 ask hannah from pompey smileys/smiley17.gif

[Yates]

phatsaxo could be true mate

im sure ive read about a 2.2 turbo which was 250 bhp

roberto have you been on a rollin road to prove yours is 130?

sorry but his must be fucked if he couldnt even keep up with you

[Bakersaxo]

lets face it the xe is one of the best motorsport engines ever built its practically a cosworth engine, it is still widely regarding as the top choice for many conversions and kit car fans love them, sorry but we all no its better then the r and s version of the saxo engine.

[RobertosVTS]

I havent had it put on the rollin road yet im goin 2 do it soon and c what it is runnin i have decated my exhaust and ive got an induction kit and thats it smileys/smiley4.gif

[SteVTR]

theres loads of xe novas n corsa's round here i've got a vts with a heat wrapped 4 branch a full magnex decat exhaust n an enclosed air filter n i cant beat any of them theres been the odd one that i've sat on there arse round corners or on roundabouts but straight out power down a straight the vts looses everytime

sorry but redtops dont die they just get faster

[saxx]

arent regal runnin a twin engined nova?

[SteVTR]

arent regal runnin a twin engined nova?




dont quote me on this but i think its dead

but yeah they were running a twin c20let engined nova n what a weapon it was

[saxx]

700 bhp was the rumoured figure i heard smileys/smiley5.gif

thats scarily powerful for a nova!

[SteVTR]

think it was in the 600's when it was mag featured not 100% sure though

very fast car just like the twin engined mk3 golf n the twin engined r5 turbo
