    ha ha i have one of those engines but in an ASTRA ESTATE its lovely
    it had done star trek miles so prob got nothing in comparison to yoer engine but it has got some grunt so i bet it would fly in a nova! cant you turn up the boost or something?

    cool, sounds good.

    Mine's only a baby 1.5 but its fairly nippy, especially after gettin the boost turned up.

    cant wait to see the pics... (can you take one of the engine bay too )

    Get In!
    Like everyone else Im looking forward to seeing some pics.
    Got the same Isuzu TD lump in my estate and the 1.5 Isuzu TD in my nova - both go so well but I really am interested in putting a 1.7TD in my Nova.
    The 1.5TD is good enough for taking on SR's and alike but wud be great to have the extra oompf like you do. (Ive not cranked up the boost yet) Havent found out how to yet.

    I also remember someone getting good power out of one of these, think it must be about 5 years ago now? Made the volume of messages coming through on novaowners quite interesting.

    IIRC
    It was a purple nova with an intercooler etc, dunno whos it was tho.

    I think Burgo's planning quite a few mods to a 1.7td engine and putting that in his td nova.
