Talking of 1.9cdti's.....has anyone seen the 2.4cdti based on the 1.9 but with an extra cylinder?? They are a beast, im waiting to see one crop up in an astra or vectra

It's the twin turbo diesel I want to see squeezed in a nova
As far as management got to be easier to go aftermarket route surely
I had thought about this. Decent big block power from a 2.2 without the weight penalty due to the alloy block.Originally Posted by vxrcopey
Also have a crazy urge to bang the 2.2 in there and supercharge it!
The inlet and exhaust are opposite to the rest of the engine range so not sure what clearance would be like. Be nice to see a set of throttle bodies or twin 45's hanging off the front of one
Derv aftermarket is still in its infancy, its mega cash and usually a bit megasquirty in its codeIt's the twin turbo diesel I want to see squeezed in a nova

Saying that you can get a bosch motorsport Derv pcm for about £2K + calibration tools (another £2-3K), but its running software that would make the old NON square light transit feel embarrased about.
Not saying its impossible but its not quite as simple as old dervs were
Yeah weigtht would be an advantage as you say but I was thinking more to with height.. Its quite a tall engine.. Would probz have to run crazy bonnet vent.I had thought about this. Decent big block power from a 2.2 without the weight penalty due to the alloy block.

Also I reckon the cdti just might be too heavy.
My mate threw another into mix... X24xe turbo'd
Mid mounted CDTi 150
i'd guess the best way to DIY fit one would be to fit the whole loom, and sensors etc, then modify the donor dash gubbins to fit. i think the 1.3 sounds more of a prospect, due to it being quite small.
has anyone stuck a VAG 1.8T in a nova yet?
there was one Mowgli but for some bizzare reason the threads not working any more, maybe the guy wanted it deleting.
a google search and it was the first post but now a dead link.

was I dreaming it or was someone putting a 20v turbo vag ... http://www.pngclub. com/forum/showthr.
The 1.3 would make a brill daily driver tbf, and are still fairly spritely with a remap/tuning box...
Majority of people have Novas as a second car / weekend toy, no one would want a boring diesel when they probably drive one as a daily!
