newbie here, what turbo engine can i put in my nova?

[bedford8256]

as above not got much knowledge on novas, just wondering whats the best turbo engine to put in a nova and how dificult is it? thanks

[Novasport]

Most common is a C20LET, a bit more work could fit a Z20LET but wiring would be a bit of a pain. Also Z16LET(I think?) from a Corsa VXR could be done I suppose. Either that or turbo a 1600 8v etc

any you like if ya pockets deep enough.

Just to help us out on this do you have any mechanical knowledge to do this or, was it just a question to answer some mates down the boozer?

There are all sorts of routes really as a few have mentioned really. Standard engines and turbos added on various threads on here so have a look around the site and get a few ideas. Use the search for bits aswell I.e turbo engines.

If you are still stuck then others will respond but it does help get to know the cars a little before going in at the deepend.

Not critisism just guidence :thumb:

ok well thanks for ur help, iv got a load of spares that i want to sell but i havnt got a clue how much there worth, then i can put it all towards a new engine :)

they do a z16let too/\.
id say to you, buy a conversion kit, and all the right hoses and stuff from chris astley. then buy your c20let, and buy a rebuild kit from autovaux. then prep your shell, i.e strengthening plates etc. then build it. id say your talking 8k to do it right with all bought bits. and thats a std let, no mods.
plus your time to build it.....
