Keiths Nova Turbo build

[krobinson]

Little bit more progress - no photos yet.

Got a Jig made, and some dolly's to move the shell around on. Taking the engine out soon and getting it prepped to go for welding.

Holly cow, I go on holiday and come back to this. Now this will be worth reading so all the best with it Keith.... Yet again

[krobinson]

Little more progress:


Had a spit made up, and two dollys to mount the shell on and make it mobile. (My brother had a set made also as he's building a 16v Saloon)

Boxing everything up:

Looking good Keith jig and dollys look well made. If you wouldn't mind I'm after the measurement of the dollys

[krobinson]

I can measure them this weekend. What specifically do you want measured? The mounting points are just measured off the chassis?

[Benn]

Good work.

[kingwick]

X2 for measurements of dollys and a "how to" on the spit making.

[krobinson]

Thats the parts starting to filter in now:

As I'll no longer be running a distributor and coil, I've got a dizzy blank and coilpack bracket from SBD.




DTA S40 management:



Fuel pressure reg:



Boost Control valve:



3 bar map sensor:



Siemens Deka 630cc Injectors:



Just need some gaskets ordered for the engine now, and I also have to measure up to get my loom made. Then I can remove the engine and get cracking on with the shell repair and repaint.

Looks good Keith - I have a mate who used to work for DTA and made their engine looms and programmed the ECU before they sold up to the new owner - he still makes the engine looms for the new owner, if your struggling for a supplier I can get a price next time I see him

I've been in touch with http://www.harnessing-solutions.co.uk/ who made Matt's loom, I think they are pretty competitive and do a really good job. Going to have it on a connector on the bulked so it's super neat.
