    my 6k quote came from paul on here. ask ANY turbo owner thats had it for more than 10 mins and they have spent around that. remember you need to modify every part for this. shell, brakes, suspension, box all need modification. im guessing the o.p aint short of cash but this is different to tuning ready built performance cars. and tek, no thats not involving insurance.

    I think it's also a case of some people over do it. Anyway, I'll be sure to add up my spend on my project

    the 1.2 nova is not built for this sort of thing, it needs every moving component changing or modifying to run a LET properly
    the shell needs stripping out & strengthening, then it needs modifying to fit the big block.
    At 580bhp standard Esc Cos parts wont cut it either mate, everything was uprated on his old car. As far as I can see everything to uprate a Nova to handle LET power is available off ther shelf... jus need someone to weld the bay.

    Anyway back on topic....

    milko, i have had a damned good look round a few let novas & i can tell you that anything off the shelf for this is only the start.. a few mount brackets & shafts are not enough to make one of these work
