616 BHP Vauxhall Nova Opel Corsa - amazing! - C20LET Power

[SODMGIBO]

Does that thing have a nuclear power plant.

[miklovesale]

my nova got 617bhp!!!!!!!!!!

[myRScosworth]

600bhp in a fwd! in makes no sense as you can only put 300bhp max depending on tyre width! it will just wheel spin and make you look a fool when you try to beat a scooby or porshe and you can't get the power down! not trying to put you down love novas owned five of em and there ace tuned up but once i got mine to 300bhp it was the limit and the only way forward was front drag radials which are to wide for the car and not road legal! I have a tuned escort cossie and i still miss my nova :(

[spagnolDes]

Vauxhall Nova - The Real power of Dreams :)

[sniper6r4]

building a wee nova for rallying at the moment. any videos of the car giving it all. interesting seeing how it puts the power down.

[TheTamaiti]

my 500 hp ford falcon is better

[saracen25]

ITS almost runnning 2 bar of boost. SHIT.

[kilted06yass]

that shit is just mad. I bet it came with an extra large man nappy

[XxAIRSOFTCREWxX]

Why the hell would you do that to a vauxhall nova 616bhp it will just wheel spin it won't be able to put it,s power down tyres won't handle it and all it will do is under steer

[Porygonseizureman]

All the chavs are envious of that lucky bastard!

[gamerdude1989]

corr that baby revs to the bo***cks. so sexy :D

[MegaLoMonkey]

@36psi You're not wrong there! - I wonder where it is now!?!

[peadair1]

beast



[Adasiek9595]

yea awd would be massive advantage ....

[jammyroger2010]

i would of converted to a 4x4 then it would be awsome i miss my nova now after watchin this

[laggercrackhead]

If only i had my old hardrive, you could have all seen my corsa! again, another pretty good car been ruined by the "BoyRacers" it was a 2.2 turbo stripped and lowered 100mm all round on limited edition vauxhal alloys, and was last dyno'd at 502bhp.

I am very upset she has gone! she was a gigantical gokart!

[oOxJOSHxOo]

ahah thats why we love nova's...i mean it looks shitty enough but knowing you've got the power to blow away pretty much anythin that comes up behind you well...you gotta love that feeling haha

[ITZfuckingLEMONZ]

If you're going to make a Nova that powerful you might as well convert it into rear wheel drive at least. It's very hard to take corners fast in FWD.

[Norbee576]

really nice job! i like it! ;)

[alceuzinho]

Dyno contest in Brazil. Only 4 cyl VW's.

/watch?v=89mIg6g9KFU&NR=1

[MrHedg]

Well nice

[palukas80]

....honda for life..............

[MegaLoMonkey]

@palukas80 Vauxhall for Christmas? :)

[baskie2000]

gotta love the vauxhall!!!!

[MegaLoMonkey]

@baskie2000, Yes, Yes you do! :)

[whittinghammassive]

it doesnt matter what you do to the chasis...therrs still way to much power hitting the front wheels. itll be useless for anything but drag racing. even then your guna have to beef up the front end to stop the axel bending!

[MegaLoMonkey]

@whittinghammassive - well, I have resisted replying so far..... "to stop the axel bending!" - firstly it is an "axle", secondly... it is a front wheel drive, so there are Track Control Arms (TCA), not an "AXEL", crashing on from that :) ... Why would you think that this is a car that is designed for a race class? if it was meant as a drag racer.... well it wouldn't have been made like this! - if it was a rally car.... well it wouldn't have been made like this... Oh well! Smiles all round! :)

[stueyhooey]

nice way to kill an engine with no load on!

[MegaLoMonkey]

@stueyhooey ??? Why will free running an engine with no load kill the engine?

[festaboy21]

One small problem....It's a shitty Nova!!!

[ichigozanghetsu]

its useless to have that much power on the front wheels ¬¬

1st. the thing would be burning rubber thru all the gears.

2nd. it will only be good for a straight road.

[58008518]

@ichigozanghetsu vtech much?

[ichigozanghetsu]

@58008518 no vtec rather have a silvia RWD al the way :P

[mt69696]

@ichigozanghetsu - i agree mate but then again it all depends on what it was built for, gear ratio's could have been altered for track days or it may simply be a 1/4 mile strip car

[kammiste10]

Good Car wv is very shit car!

Live forever opel

[driversdomainuk]

it would be as quick as a Ferrari Enzo up to about 140 mph I guess....but oh dear, I would not like to throw it around corners...the car would simply not cope....

[rinor456789]

Fuck VW !

Opel♥ forever!

[MegaLoMonkey]

Found these kewl C20XE Redtop A2 Stainless Steel Rocker Cover Bolt kit sets on ebay anyone interested? bit . ly cKRKTV

[SuperHenryhorse]

wot a waste puttin that engine in such a shit car. you loser!

[boosted14]

ummmm torque steer anyone?

[robertk288]

haha nice comment frankie

[sunnetalboy]

why not 4x4?

[helvetinooppeli]

suomalaasii

[frankieflash]

I have to admit to being burned off from the lights by one of these beasts. I gave it my all in 1st and second, actually was ahead of it briefly, but by the time I got to 5th gear it was powering past me and away just accelerating to beyond 30mph, so I selected the large chainring on my mountain bike and just cruised, was too puffed to go faster.

[66smerk66]

hahahaha shit hot mate that was proper witty that haahhahah lol lol funny funny guy

[frankieflash]

;-)

[MegaLoMonkey]

@frankieflash Ha ha ha

[rallyboy88]

@frankieflash lmaooo that was good hahaaa

[MegaLoMonkey]

@frankieflash LMAO - Ha Ha Ha! - Love it! I would so love to see it! :)

[MegaLoMonkey]

@frankieflash LMAO - Ha Ha Ha! - Love it! I would so love to see it! :) can we arrange a time? :)

[frankieflash]

@MegaLoMonkey Yeah man, name the place and I'll cycle up to ya.....better be ready!

[TheHaunted2]

@frankieflash one of the funniest comment on youtube haha

[jknR]

@frankieflash 900 RR Honda is a litlebit slower.

[frankieflash]

@jknR What are you on about boy?!

[TheHaunted2]

i bet that doesnt turn corners haha

[MegaLoMonkey]

@TheHaunted2  Probably Not! :) - but point & squirt - and you are away! :)

[lionpulse]

someone knows if vids of driving this beast exist

[bmxking00]

i think frankly amazing to get a nova liek this i mean yeh there ok cars but as far as your drag strip legends or spicy italian suercars are concerned the nove is nothing but to make it put out that much i think it would give most so called "better cars" a solid run for their money so my message is next year from buggatti we dont want another bag of shit veyron ( joke good cars) we want a 600bhp vauhall nova that way i can drive around manchester late at night without lookin like a rich cunt lol

[rbrueford]

Some fantastic engineering and no mistake. Will say that i would personally find 600bhp in FWD car that weighs as much as a packet of peanuts a bit scary but i dont think there is much that would keep in touch with it on a sprint. Seen some mad outputs using the c20let but ill stick to my 300zx twin turbo. Rwd and comfortable lol

[arte100]

what amazes me is that, who came up with that idea "lets have 616 BHP Vauxhall Nova"

[MegaLoMonkey]

@arte100 - LOL can you imagine the focus group? ha ha ha!

[Maximusfool]

@arte100 Can yo imagine the fricking torque steer with that sort of power. ? Somewhere on Youtube there is another Nova with one engine in the back as well as the front. Bioth pushing 600bhp. Now that has to be insane

[MegaLoMonkey]

@arte100 Can you imagine... "guys, I've got this great idea!".... Much hilarity ensues! :)

[jarrus464]

@arte100 Why not though? I love the madness of it!

[georgevts]

@arte100 and to keep it FWD!

[nafe65]

nova are shite ..full stop

[minima86]

@ nafe65

you obviously havent got a clue so go crawl back under your rock n stay there...LITTLE GIRL

[leggettian]

I used to have a nova 1.3sr now I own 4 Ferrari's and 3 Aston Martins. You can launch a piece of shit at the speed of sound however it doesn't make it any good eh boys! ha ha get rich like I did.

[DrekzSRi]

This is real life mate not Gran turismo lol. cock

[steevew]

who gives a fuk if u have 4 ferraris & 3 aston martins u still sound like a rite cock head

[wwwNooBcom]

Lmao this would smoke your peice of shit ferrari and aston martin, too bad they only way you got those cars was by charging 40 bucks per blowjob, and damn you must have gave much head

[azonicone]

Lmao! The only thing smoking would be the tyres! And then there's the challenge of keeping it in a straight line until you get to a corner where you'll encounter armfuls of understeer and end up in a ditch. Most people work damn hard to own nice cars, something which has eluded you so far you stupid bum.

[wwwNooBcom]

Dunno how how shit your driving is but keeping a car in a straight line isnt hard, yes you work damn hard to own 4 ferrars and a aston but yet you come on youtube and make shit comments obout a nova, Make more shite up why dont you, your full of shit

[azonicone]

Actually I was looking for examples of turbocharged Vauxhall engines. Then I saw the complete stupidity of your comment and felt compelled to reply. As for my driving? I take it you have never driven a truely powerful fwd car then? Oh and I never said I owned Ferrari's and Astons, I don't, you assumed I did, so who is making stuff up here?

[gravey07]

impressive. you wouldnt wanna crash in THAT though.

[ROCKSOLID19]

the size of the intercooler on that thing is just crazy. not even the most souped up 1000bhp Evo has one that big

[nannynobnobs]

i wounder how big the turbo is!!!! n i also wonder how many miles does the engine have to have a rebuild???? 1000 maybe??

[gosh1234]

even 1000ps is not impossible... its all on costs of durable

... have you seen this car is not 4x4... 620 NM? lol

[aestheticsoldier]

That is the biggest intercooler I have ever seen. 1.8 bar is around 25-26 lbs. of boost and must be a really built engine to make that power. I have penis envy over the size of that intercooler.

[MexicanBearFighter]

that thing sounds AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[missionmjl]

yeah its bolted to the fucking dyno to much power not enough traction,laws of physics apply clampits ,your gonna get smoked by a diesel from the lights while your leaving ya tyres on the tarmac,n then theres bend where u will allmost deffinitly stuff it into the nearest tree wall or lamp post just to make sure its fucked..............the end...

[bmxking00]

its a good car but i can see what your sayin and your a funny man lol

[wulli1988]

impossible when a c20let only produces 204 bhp so show that in your face and dont post a lot of bullshit

[Freke81]

not possible to get 600hp from a let engine?? are u nuts? to make it even better use a x22xe block and let/xe head and u h ave u self a c22let =)

[munnsey]

@wulli1988 . You need to learn about turbocharged engines!

[wulli1988]

even if it is as they say 600 bhp man thats way to much for that car to handle and would to reinforced etc. and launch control fitted the thing is so light it'll just wheel spin like crazy

[Mantua64]

What should he learn about turbocharged engines? With 600 hp and 600 nm!!! there is no chance of that car getting a grip with fwd..

[terhhh87]

603hp, 723nm,rpm limit 7230rpm, 12 year old holset, harisen dyno max speed 270kmh (bosch dyno), calculated max speed 6. gear and 9000rpm 360kmh, 4wd gear box,cars calculated weigth about. 720kg

Straight from the owner not the video maker.Car is From Finland.Used to be build by team Firges.Now new owner and some new "tricks"

[corsavxr]

freaking sweet

[JONNIE219]

this is so funny you fucking losers get a life you cock suckers faggots novas are shit hahahahahahaha fucking freeeeeeeeeeks and your mothers a fat bastard

[MaltaCelica]

I have a Nova SR and modified it with the 2lt 8 v SEH and was plenty of fun :-) Had tuned it to about 200hp before selling it and getting my Celica now. Novas rule

[pedrorodrigues22]

fiat uno

[MegaLoMonkey]

Nissan 370Z... ???

[MegaLoMonkey]

Robin Reliant

[Hnepap]

Indeed, this is from Finland. I've heard lots of rumours of this car, not sure if it's in one piece anymore :/

[paulb4uk]

I bet it is a lot of fun .

[SmithsVideos]

it only registers 140mph beacuse its on a rollingroad! it wont be that quik on the road, itll still be fast tho

[MegaLoMonkey]

Hmmmm....

[Lukethemong]

vauxhall nova opel corsa?? make your mind up

[MegaLoMonkey]

????

[RosesForTheDead7]

Vauxhall and Opel are the same company. but Nova and Corsa are two different cars lol

[MegaLoMonkey]

Not on the continent. The Nova is called a Corsa "A", and when Vauxhall named the small hatchback the same as Opel, this is a Corsa "B" - The first "bubble shaped" ones.

They were made in spain, where "no-va" would roughly translate to "No Go" - probably not a good idea for a car name! - Hence the name was always Corsa.

Just like an MR2 is not called that in france, because when spoken aloud, it would sound like M-R-deux - or merde - which is french for "shit"... :)

[RosesForTheDead7]

Haha nice.. i didnt know that.. i knew Vauxhall and Opel was the same thing.. didnt know the cars were different there..

No-va would be a great name for nearly every Vauxhall then... :)

[SASCartman]

Vauxhall Nova and Opel Corsa are one and the same. Vauxhall and nova are both under the parent company General Motors, When GM Came up with the Nova/Corsa they released it in germany Under the the name "Opel Corsa" and in Britan under the name "Vauxhall Nova".

Also judging that this vid is from Scandinavia it is probaly an orignal Opel Corsa.

[SXiLad1]

I want....did you have any trouble/ is C20LET conversion easy to do on a nova? I am really tempted on selling my corsa for a wee nova 1.2 then getting a C20LET lump in it. Nice work especially how you havent put a shitty spoiler or a chavvy body kit on it.

[MegaLoMonkey]

Sleepers are the best - nothing outside so you know. I've just chucked a redtop into a 1.4Flair, and left it badged that way. - Though I have added full harnesses, seats and rollcage for safety. - They don't like to go round corners with all that weight in the front! - My suggestion would be to stick a 1.4 16V lump in as these can go non-aspirated to 180BHP for 6-7K (with the right engine builder) or try to put a VXR Turbo lump in it. it'll handle so much better.

[sillychicken599]

erm why? lol. thats mental!

[galea360]

wow that's cool, it don't matter what car it is its all about this. Your sat a drag strip next to another car (worth more eg a Ferrari) and you beat it in a NOVA.

[Rockaliser]

Why do that to a Nova? seriously nova's are possibly the worst cars in the world, they struggle gripping to a road using a stock engine. I would have bought a better car rather than spending all that cash its taken to get this car to 616 bhp. You'll never get that money back when you sell it.

[MegaLoMonkey]

I see you have entirely missed the point! - Never mind!

[mushkamusic]

Fuck me that's the most mental nova I think I've ever seeen!

[cammymcghee]

ehh i like the idea of 600+ bhp in a small car but 600+ bhp in a small front wheel drive car ehh nt much of a fan of that idea lol

[cossiesteve]

Hats off for gettin a C20LET to 616BHP but 4x4 is the only way youl ever get to REALLY enjoy it in ful.

[ilsot1]

i've heard that it is 4wd nowadays..

[pokerboy002]

fuck off timodonkey

[thesamuari70]

holy shit that's like a jet taking off!

[timohippy]

that is just a supercharged shitbox,end of.

[kingoftheging1571]

i woudnt say no to it thats for sure! who would?

[58008518]

would do me! 2000 revs all the way to the shops and back would be more than enough to bannana the cocks of it innit

[bmxdan08]

1:47 i could imagie that pissing past a lambo or a 1000 bike hahaha love it great work

[MrLittlejonnie]

car is a failure get a life faggot

[58008518]

"The car" is obviously not a failure on the dyno, which is what this vid is all about littlejohny,? its a car on a dyno with high bhp! that's that! ..............................­...

"get life faggort" pmsl, go read your comments

[58008518]

you fail at life

[SafcfinestRyan]

better than yours

[jamezzzzzz1986]

think your the one that needs to get a life your just jealous you don't own the car

[jamesthq]

mwhahahaha look at that cute little car

[58008518]

great work that!

i love it

wtf is the noise at 0:37 lmao

beep

[colshit19]

someone farted

[58008518]

whats the noise at 0:37 lol

awsome mechine that

[PCPO007]

lol at the intercooler, guess you can't run it for long without the engine overheating!

[rudi118]

hi gr8 vid man. this is a front wheel drive rit? what gearbox are you using? doesn any1 know?

[rudi118]

hey man gr8 work on the car. this is a front wheel drive rit? wht gearbox are you using since the c20let comes out 4wd? tnx

[lovebuzz44]

Thats fucking mental!!! But id hate front wheel drive in a little nova.Shame it wernt rear or even four wheel drive,if i was spending that time and money that would be the direction i'd go.

[Nickb008]

shit car jap cars all the way if it ay jap its crap

[shaunhornby]

great vid mate

love the amount of time and money that if must have taken to acheive this

[vadosdj]

What is the point building so powerful engine for a FWD car? =)

Great results, but what for? )))

[STUCASHX]

Could put an F28 gearbox in it and calibra 4x4 running gear for four wheel drive.

Now THAT would decimate ALL.

[cammymcghee]

i would neva take this car 600+ bhp going 2 the front wheels u would neva take a corner in that

[mt1104]

haha torque steer anyone...

[michaelcort83]

Id love to ask this guy 'why?'

[gordycpk]

OMG if u gave me a chioce eitha to have this or a lambo id have the nova wivout a dout!! i respect all the work uv done to this nova mate, fair play to ya.

[laurenceking08]

HAHAHA

[leedsbmxer]

Anyone with a genuine interest in cars would agree that this is a brilliant engineering project, instead of getting abusive just because people like Novas. People seem to miss the point that we dont all have mega money to spend but does that mean we cant be interested in modified cars?! Yes i drive a Nova but im not a chav... I just can't afford a Mk2 Escort!!

[mikeburman]

the only people that slag off front wheel drive cars are the ones that dont know how to drive them properly

[gangsterburrinator]

i agree wiya guarantee half the people slaggin the car off either have one or they will get one for there 1st

[MrTremmy3572]

I race cars on oval circuits every week and can tell you all there is nothing wrong with front wheel drive cars, every fucker uses them to race, so if its good enough for us its good enough full stop, I would happilly race a nova gsi standard against an evo or any rear wheel drive car around an oval and piss all over it! well done lads quality work, nice big slicks and it will stick like fuck on the 1/4s

[RSTdave88]

What planet do you come from? At what point in your little skull did you think a STANDARD vauxhall nova GSi 1.6 8v 100bhp could even smell an Evo around a track?! it wouldnt be a race.

[MegaLoMonkey]

OMG! - I so love the division this video causes! LOL! I think it really depends on who is driving! :) - I have been on the track on a track day, using a race spec 120BHP 1400cc nova and taken apart TVR's - the difference there is race craft and experience though! Imagine the Stig driving a race nova, and your mum driving an EVO... I think you get the idea?!!! :)

[RSTdave88]

So? you could say that about any shit car then? lets say you have 2 drivers of equal race experience and a track they both knew very well and then put a nova against an EVO it wouldnt be a race at all, the evo would still win even if it was towing another piece of shit nova behind. These stupid comparisons annoy me, ofcourse a nova would win if the stig was driving it and your mum was driving the evo. But thats not a victory is it!!

[MegaLoMonkey]

That was kinda my point!

[kingdingalingggg]

damian NERD please do shut the fuck up u no fukall clearly flip and break? its not a fucking hovver boat you TIT!

[damiannerd]

well if taht drove it would flip and break and it would break all the other components, clutch suspension carberetta and even the tyres it was a waste of money doing this and it sounds like a jcb SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MegaLoMonkey]

OMG.... You really don't know what the hell you are talking about. - It is actually quite funny! :) I can't even be bothered to pick apart your comment!

[oldskoolfool09]

lol u tard. and if i heard that coming down the road i wouldnt guess that it was a jcb to be honest lol. how many high revving turbo'd jcbs have u heard? do u know what a turbo is? considering ur name has "nerd" in it ur pretty damn stupid

[hitm4n1985]

thank god its not a riceburner :)

[stewiegriffin1001]

its all well avin it on one of them rolling road things wheres the racing?? i'd luv to av a bash in it

[anneveenstra82]

Hell yeah!!!! is this street legal?

[uhrrtax]

at least the did not put any useless stuff like huge spoilers on the back

[miamifinfan283]

bro..spoilers arent useless

[staffordacdc]

they are on a front wheel drive car, the air flow would push the back of the car down meaning less traction on the front wheels (with all the drive).

[EidoHassan]

you twit,its not the airflow,its the shift in the center of gravity under acceleration!!!

[rpholz]

why is everything so big!?? the intercooler, the boost gauge.... wtf?!! lmao

[pleasurepete]

still a piece of shit

[t1g3r1991]

i agree

[uhrrtax]

looks well are just looks... put nearly standard bumper with cuts for intercooler and radiator and it will look standard nearly standard = sleeper... and with it it's mass to power ratio it would eat any standard evos and porsches in a drag race (if there is enough traction on front wheels)

[solidtechchris]

I have a question.... Whats the point? Do you realise that this is a Nova/Corsa?

[RSTdave88]

exactly...

[chapmasi]

pathetic

[alfista145ts]

It's fwd?

SO crazy shit!!!

Didin't they fond a better Opel to do this???

[RichardODwyer]

lol, piece of shit

[drm1221]

lol that thing would just torque steer like a bitch.

[sesuobosyte]

It looks like bending in the half when floring on rolling road.

I think it needs strong gearbox,strong driveshafts and wide slicks.1/4 mile 10 sec.

[glupigogo]

it's tied down like an animal

[malandnic099]

impressive power but its a bit pointless putting it in that, put 4wd running gear in it an you will hav a serious wee beast tho ur probs easier putting it in a cavy or sumfin an enjoyin a mega built engine instead of it only being good 4 meltin tyres, good effort!

[jamesieboy85]

600 brake or not it's still a shit box nova. No matter what power it puts down.

[MysterioRobert]

that shit box nova will smoke your car anyday

[fineshade13]

if it can get off the line without spinning...
