12k mile mrk 1 C20let Project!!

[chrisnovaturbo]

its all done via the coilovers they increase and decrese pressure on each corner to shift the weight

yes very light:thumb:

what coilovers you running on this again. when you say they increase and decrease pressure, is that spring pressure or shock pressure?

[Will F]

Car cover and in the garage? Are you really Keith Robinson!?lol

[Jonlem]

Personally I would of stuck with the harder compound as their mega soft anyway.

Make sure you get the pressures sorted when you test the car as they will go off in a few laps if their not right.

they are mainly for the 1/4 mile and the handling course at totb mate i have another set of medium compound for the track day on the 21st august :thumb:

what pressures would you run??

[discoinferno]

this is why mine is rust free and yours is now like a pear :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

You know it's as rusty as dick rapers nova and corsa's

[Jonlem]

what pressures would you run??

Should be ok for the handling circuit, my mate was sent the harder compound ones by mistake and struggled with grip at the Sprint last sunday so i think the soft ones will be ok for totb and drag use.

I'd be looking at 20-22 psi for the sprint course and just see how you get on, might need to run them a touch higher, for anytrack use you would want about that in them as after a lap or two they will of raised in pressure a fair bit.

Watch for how their wearing, they will wear the centres out in a few laps if the pressure is too high so better to start low and work up, not the other way round.

[discoinferno]

Yeah cheers mate

[discoinferno]

did a bit on the nova today

heat wrapped the down pipe

then i heat wrapped the header tank ( to try and illuminate heat soak)and moved the air filter back into position

then i continued with the heat control, i wondered with the charegcooler being bolted to the engine if it was picking up any heat i attached some more fireproof matting see if it makes a difference :) charge temps are fine but cooler is always better just an experiment at the moment

[discoinferno]

saw you towing on my way home with the lads from a beer sesh in leeds,
Cool :)

[novashed]

bunch of 3 lads in an astra looking very hung over lol

[Will F]

No nuggets of knowledge from Pete then re the stupid terminal speeds?

[discoinferno]

no nothing yet, will need more power to compete with the tigras running 11's but its not a bad start for first runs in the car!!! the tigras have 100-180 bhp more than the nova) but the car is not all about 1/4 mile

the 3 tigras and suttons corsa are built for one thing 1/4 they all run much much bigger turbos (gt35r's) than me also, but if i had a decent 60 ft time i wouldve been low low 12's whihc is very good2.9 60 ft is very poor its quicker to walk :P

12.7 is no slouch tbhi dont wanna chnage to much on the car as it drives so well on the road, maybe try winding the boost up abit higher up the range will have a word with mapping guru dave today see what he thinks

the actuator on the turbo is removed and being refurbed due to a torn diaphram hopefully that will arrive today and get it back on the car!!!

[discoinferno]

after rebuilding the actuator with new 20psi spring, checking the turbo penny valve, all boost hoses, and replacing a missing bolt on the manifold

went for a drive to see my mate in neath and dia few pulls now its all back together all seems well so far, these logs were done on the road so unable to hold it flat out for any great deal of time due to traffic etc but its holding 1.5bar or just over

but it seems to go alot better now, going to get it to hold 1.8 at totb it was holding 1.1bar :cry::cry::cry:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/RSGBodystylingska/LogRun1.png

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/RSGBodystylingska/logrun2.png

need to get it back on the rollers up the boost to another 5-6psi i'll be happy bunny then :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

[Will F]

Sexy graphs! lol

Will be good to get it on an RR and see what its doing properly....

[discoinferno]

as said yesterday took my mate out who owns ap developments and he loved it just sat there holding on to the harness :d:d:d:d:d

that was at 1.5 bar :) i be he'll **** his pants at 2bar

[discoinferno]

[The Simps]

Carbon suits it.

I've driven to Plymouth & back in a day before to buy a calibra turbo - never again!

[MattBrown]

That wouldnt last 30 seconds round here.

Anything sticking out the bumpers and instant pull lol

My mates exhaust is 15mm out of the bumper, and he got pulled and fined.

How do you get away with it? Surely if you hit someone, they will be ripped to bits?

I like it, but the police can't lol lol lol

[Shaun]

lol plymouth aint that bad simps...

i tend to make trips to bristol/cardiff all the time for bits. bloody nova hoarders...

Not really true - if you hit someone, it would actually be softer, as there is less of a front panel and no sold metal bumper bar!?

What about the thousands of massive 4x4 pieces of scrap, with huge climbing frames on the front?

well attended a open pit trackday at combe today,turned out to be superb nice and cool and dry perfect for high horespower fwd :)

nova and the latest vehicle monterey (tow vehicle)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/RSGBodystylingska/62315_502038653901_502063901_7147431_5564109_n.jpg

overall the car was greatly recieved and people were astonished how quick it was going even spinning in the first 3 gears, a 500bhp sierra cosworth was my play friend for the day we had a good few laps chasing and following he was on full slicks which helped him alot (and the fact he can pedal fair play) on the straights the nova was pulling a good few car lengths, he would ctach me through the bends and off it would start again up the straight!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/RSGBodystylingska/33781_502039258901_502063901_7147436_5931613_n.jpg

managed to out accelerate a supercharged arial atom up to quarry :) also had a good blast with a radical though he couldnt loose me on the straights he soon pissed off once a corner arrivedbut was good fun
top speed i hit at avon rise was 141mph on the spa clocks, averaging 120-135 i just need to be braver the car has alot more potential... but it'll come
the nova did about 40-45 laps in total with the only issue a small hole in the bottom header tank hoses caused by the jubilee clip

will foy also attended though he was to tight to pay £10 to be a passenger


i was concerned with regards oil temps and coolant temps rising after sustained use, but it was fine coolant temp didint go above 81degrees and the oil temps averaged around 97degrees after a 30 minute session

chareg temps where also superb averaging around 28-30degrees again constant over the 30 minute sessions


the car is now back in the garage and will be sorn'd in a few days and left to rest for the winter

the girl did me proud and the love for her is back better than ever. i was learning the car all day and by 2-3pm was really starting to press on but a red flag ended the session then the rain started so we decided not to chance our luck in the rain, so came home.

main thing is the car didnt break and is in one piece allways a good end to a day

[Mieran]

Any vids? :roll:

Glad to hear its getting the use you built it for Gary...... sounds like your engine builder/mapper have done a top job for you. :)

yes it does help that when it was built all cv's were new, all new bearings, new clutch, new engine , turbo etc

i am pleased with it, really am

and 141 left little breaking after avon rise but again the ap's came to the rescue (just:d )

it is surprisingly good on fuel for such a big truck, very impressed its very comfortable as well, for the money i paid and the low mileage (100k) its a bargain will do me for a while

on the straight the nova had the edge pulling away as you can see coming into quarry but in the corners he was 1)braver 2) on full slicks 3) a better driver lollollollol

was good fun looning about for a few laps

[Nova_Tek]

Is that normal gearbox oil? or something for the track?

[discoinferno]

its fully synthetic gearbox oil very good quality oil, it will give added protection when driving hard or on track

[Nova_Tek]

still the same grade as normal IIRC 85/90? (from what I remember)

[discoinferno]

Castrol SMX S 75w-85 Fully Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid

Cheers dude.

...and the award for maximum oil changes without driving a car goes to....

...and the award for maximum oil changes without driving a car goes to....


lol

the oil hasnt been changed since i did combe track day so its needed after 30-40laps, as for gearbox oil well for the price of it, i tend to do it as often as engine oil........:d :d

cough cough how many miles have you done in your silver one in the last year 0 i ve done almost 2,200miles

just reminded me ive gotta get some oil for mine,awsome setup you got there

[discoinferno]

well after the last track day it became apparent the cavalier rubber coolant hoses i was using were getting a bit tired, the pipe from the back of engine to header tank kept splitting every time i did the jubilee clip up, anyways time to go silicone and renew the lot

spoke to merlin motorsport yesterday regarding some samco xtraflex hose as you can see its pretty awesome, not cheap but will do the job :)

in the end i managed to replace the two rubber hoses with the 1m of xtraflex so i can send the 90 bends and ally tube back for a refund :d

all in all a good morning

roll on the next trackday :cool:

[Will F]

Roll on the 30th then!;)

[discoinferno]

[Jonlem]

Good hose that, was suprised how much you can twist it past everything !

Engine looks great squeezed in there.

[discoinferno]

cheers its a tight squeeze:thumb:

[Nobby]

loving it mate

[Nova_Tek]

Nice hoses. What oil cooler are you using? It looks like the one I bought. If so where did you get the pipes from, was it custom made or off the shelf (as I need some myself)?

[discoinferno]

had the pipes made at a local hydraulics place

[Nova_Tek]

Cool, thought so. Need to make some up for my Mocal cooler.

[Jonlem]

So what turbo are you going for now ?

[discoinferno]

So what turbo are you going for now ?

a roller bearing t38 conversion from vince at cr turbos (same turbo housings as currently, just new wheels and bearing housing etc)

my issue is due to the way jay has built the manifold and angled the flange,i cant physically go any bigger in size as it would mean the rads sticking out even further or getting a new manifold made, so i will make the most of what i can and get as much as i can out of this thing, once done vince says he has seen 460bhp.... which will do nicely :)

:thumb::thumb::thumb:

not that it needs any more but progress is progress :thumb:

[Jonlem]

Good turbo that, my mate uses a lot of them on his customers YB powered race cars.

[discoinferno]

yes on the right spec engine they are superb :d :d :d

should get it back for next weekend, will get it booked in then for some mapping

[corsakid]

Awesome awesome car!

[K24_STE]

How well dose it put that sort of power down? can it still be used proply on the road? :)
As said before awsome build keep up the good work and the updates! :thumb:

[discoinferno]

it puts power down really well and its really nice to drive :d :d

[Will F]

it puts power down really well and its really nice to drive :d :d

lol

Yeah, once you are in 5th and its bone dry:cry:

[WILSEN]

read my mind will hahaa

[Jonlem]

lol

Yeah, once you are in 5th and its bone dry:cry:

Don't worry, it will have LOADS more traction with e bigger roller bearing turbo fitted lol

Didn't you run a 11 up the 1/4 in it recently though ?

[davidfox280585]

do love this build mate

[discoinferno]

thanks for all your comments, will its not that bad if you drive with a bit of thought, of course flooring it in 2nd will spin it in all gears. but feather it and floor once your got some decent speed and it'll just twitch slightly then go..... didint to badly on track the other month :)

[discoinferno]

look what arrived today :)

one Hybrid T38 0.63 turbo ready for between 450-480hp :thumb::thumb:

mapping is all booked for the 14/12/2010

cant wait

[Connor]

Holey mother, now thats a large african land snail :thumb:

[Jonlem]

Holey mother, now thats a large african land snail :thumb:

Its identical in size to what he has lol

To look at anyway ;)

[nova_stee]

very nice indeed

[Connor]

still, not small is it ;)
(fail on my behalf)

[discoinferno]

to look at as jonlem has said its the same size its just internally is where things are different :d :d

[Connor]

Is it a hybrid of your old one then?

[discoinferno]

It's not a t34 any more it's a t38 so midway between a 34 and a t4!!
How ever externally it's the same size

[Connor]

okay im lost lol
*goes off to research what has been said

[Jonlem]

As far as the external casings are concerned its identical to the T34 that comes as standard on a Escort Cosworth, however this one has the compressor cover machined out to accept a larger wheel.

From what I am told their good for 460 @ 26psi on a YB and they don't like high boost levels.

Perfect IMO for a fwd car though as it won't be so responsive that it makes it a complete **** to drive.

Look forward to seeing some results !

[discoinferno]

It's had a larger exhaust wheel also. I don't plan to run massive boost probably 26- 28psi max

14th I ll have results :)

[Connor]

Ahh i see, just not really clued up on different turbo sizes.
Sounds ideal for what you want it for

[Will F]

Lets just hope the Paj stays together and doesnt completely disintergrate by then...lol

[BongMong]

well that was a interesting hours reading :thumb:

Well done, quality toy.. they call me Jealous Ste.. :tard:

[sr jack]

i would kurl one out if i see this in my rear view mirror lol

superb machine you have built, just wish i had the money for a car like that

top work!

Nick.

:thumb: :thumb: cheers nick... always room for more:thumb: :thumb:

[discoinferno]

watching this, suprised you didnt opt for a GT30

due to space mate i had a gt30 and i needed to move the rads out even further due to the way the turbo angles on the manifold... so im sticking with what fits

i think it'll work well with the t38, we'll find out on the 14th:thumb: :thumb:

[discoinferno]

well fitted the turbo today and got the nova back up and running

its coming together slowly

now going gt3071 0.82
44mm external wastegate
custom inlet manifold
new ecu

[K24_STE]

Immense carn't imagine how this must feel to drive what sort of power you looking to be at once all running? :thumb:

[discoinferno]

Not sure on power figures mate tbh, it should be around 450bhp 450 ft lbs at 2bar ish all being well but i have learned it'll make what it makes ( i m trying not to number chase.... he says after spending on new turbo etc)

response should improve along with midrange torque, power will be held longer with the new inlet manifold design!

:thumb::thumb: cheers for comments

[Paul]

Itbs or single tb i cant see on phone?

Knew youd get a gt30 lol

[Mike]

ITB's Paul.

[Rick Draper]

ITB's Paul.

No its not :roll:

[chrisnovaturbo]
