Browney's Workshop Nova Build's

[djbrowney]

Some of you have seen the poor efforts i have made at trying to build this car changing my mind so many times, so hopefully this will be the final time

Got sick and tired of not having enough space so found myself a workshop at a decent price so i moved in along with all my junk a few weeks ago

The workshop (the boat wasn’t included)

Last Saturday went and collected my cage, and seat rails from fabri cage awesome service

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i70/djbrowney/007-22.jpg

Just need to buy or make something to profile the ends of the cage, ordered my rear turrets and harness eyelets last night so hopeful by the weekend i can get fitting it.

Also purchased another nova from olly hewitt (trackdaynova) a few weeks back for building my other every day car but it's tucked up in the corner so i don’t have any pictures at the minute

[Markd89]

wish i had a ramp, nice work on the shop

[vxr_racing_2008]

Nice workshop and tidy nova:thumb:

[Pistol Pete]

[liam944nova]

would be nice to have workshop like that. i'd be there more than i was at home lol

[djbrowney]

would be nice to have workshop like that. i'd be there more than i was at home lol

i havent seen my house in the day light for weeks lol lol lol

[Rich]

Looking for a lockup myself, looks a good size and a ramp too! :thumb:

How much you paying/how did you come accross it if you dont mind me asking?

No excuse not to get the car done now, look forward to the updates. How comes the 2 door frames are different shapes for the cage?

[djbrowney]

The work shop is £216.60 a month, that includes the workshop, electric 240 volt and 415 volt, a **** of 300ltr compressor (which i share the welder/ fabricator just through the roller shutter) a toilet which i can quite hapily take a **** in and water so pretty fookin good i think http://www.vauxhallsportforum.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/023.gif

im not sure what you mean aboout the cage mate ???

[Rich]

The 2 bars that would go over the door and down in front of the dash look different shapes?

Thats a good price really on the unit!

[mk3-fezza]

nice unit mate, now get on with the car !! lol

[Rickyb]

looks a fair old size crack on

[djbrowney]

Decided to go with the holesaw method for profiling the ends of the cage, tried a practice the other night and it should all be good lol
Got the main hoop trial fitted and made some feet for it to sit on today, also got some more stiching hopfully by the end of the week i will have the rear turrets in, boot floor, and fully stiched ready to fit the cage and do the underside
Ran out of gas today so will get some tomorrow to carry on

its 16 ft x 26 ft so 416 square foot that includes my rates aswell lol

[Rich]

Im hopfully going to be moving into a unit on the 1st, its about 900sq ft (i think) 500 a £month plus £144 rates :(

Cage is looking good, is it off the shelf or custom bent?

[djbrowney]

units a fookin expensive i got really lucky with mine !

i brought it from fabri cage mate, just the hoops and roof diagnals are bent kinda wish i had spent the money on buying a profiled on but at least this way i can make it as tight as i like (just the way i like it lol)

[Rich]

Looks like you know what your doing, at least it will be stronger mounting it where you are.

Yeah units are expensive, but i cant find anything else! theres 2 of us going in on it, going to buy/sell a few cars and do a bit of servining/repairs to cover our rent

[djbrowney]

[djbrowney]

What did you use for cleaning the roof?

used thinner/gun wash/heat gun/scrapper and some scotch bright lol

[djbrowney]

First thing was to repair the ******* foot high fence that jumped out and scratched the work van.

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i70/djbrowney/001-39.jpg

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i70/djbrowney/002-38.jpg

Geeeeeeeez! thats one hell of a rollcage! good stuff:thumb:

[Andy]

Great work mate looks spot on that

[djbrowney]

cheers guys !!!

[ade]

quality metal working skills there matey. I think I need to clean my garage out - your "cleanliness" makes me sick!

[djbrowney]

i think its called ocd mate you should see the my room and work van lol

i cant help it lol

[jimbob-mcgrew]

damn that cage is impressive, good welding skills too. looks like you could drive it off a cliff, bosh it up, and carry on going.

is this going to be a competition rally wagon by any chance ?

[Sturge]

Hi mate, reasonable effort I must say!

Just a couple of points to maybe help you out a bit...

First off, the harness mount plates should be inside the tunnel, they're spreader plates and are designed so that in a crash they have to pull through the panel. Welded on top it's too easy for them to rip free in a heavy shunt. Best way is to drill 3 11.5mm holes, 1 for the thread and 2 for puddle welds on opposite corners of the plate, keeps the heat affected area down making the mount stronger.

Next, your tunnel brace, or hoop brace or whatever they've called it, where it meets the hoop it should be at the same height as the door bars and rear stays for the most effective triangulationand hence strength. Just a minor thing as you have it pretty close anyway :)

And your issues with it hitting the roof and sides, it should touch the side of the car as that allows you to stitch it to the shell. As for the roof, there are a few options,
either the hoop is a little too long and needs 5mm or so taking off each end.
It could be bent unevenly and need a bit taking off one end so it sits square (very common due to the stretch in the metal as it gets bent), easiest way to check for this is to put a straight edge against the top of the hoop (on the straght bit) and measure down to the foot. Both sides should be the same.
You may have the hoop slightly too far forward or too far back,
Or it could be (probably most likely) that the cage was designed for cars with the roof strengthener cut out.

Hope this is of some help

Thanks for you comments sturge,

with regards to the spreader plates i have already welded them in wtf should i do with them now as there is no way they are coming out :cry:

with regards to the hoop brace i am a little unsure weather i am going to use that setup at the minute, i may end up putting an x in there but fear it maybe more weight thats wasted over strength, there is still an x to go in back half of the cage yet. i can adj the height they sit at because i have still go to weld a spreader plate on were it meets the tunnel.

The cage a brought was just the hoop and lots of straight bits so i have had to profile and legth all the tubes my self, the main hoop didnt fit into start with so after trimming it down its just touching the roof as are the pillars which is what i wanted. The reason i bought an unprofiled cage rather than a profiled on :thumb:

[Andy]

Would you mind Pm'ing me how much and where that cage was from please browney?

[djbrowney]

pm sent buddy

[Ste L]

with regards to the spreader plates i have already welded them in wtf should i do with them now as there is no way they are coming out :cry:

The reason i bought an unprofiled cage rather than a profiled on :thumb:

Personally I'd probably just leave it where it is now lol was more for future reference and anybody else planning on fitting them :)

I think I probably prefer the x idea myself, provides a bit more support if you put it on it's roof, but then the current setup gives a lot more support in the event of a heavy side impact. 6 and two 3's I guess. Although a horizontal tube touching the tunnel with a V going from the centre of that to the top corners of the hoop is a more modern option. or even a horizontal level with the door bars and rear stay cutting through a single diagonal. Loads of options to consider depending on what you feel suits you best :thumb:

Must've picked you up wrong about it touching the roof, thought you didn't want that :wall: my bad lol

Fair play profiling it yourself too, it's a crap job to get right even with all the right equipment :thumb:

[brucer]

awesome skill going on in this build, keep it up.

[djbrowney]

Got the wrest of the cage in today, after runing the grinder and straight through the wire and triping the electric out. i only had to break in to three other people's units to find my rcd switch lmfao they will never no lol
im collecting some of the parts for my engine one night this week, brought a car to break which will turn up at the weekend which im going to use the gearbox from. it already has a atb diff fitted so flogged mine this week.
also need to go and collect my seats from rick as i cant get the seat rails in until i do.
also need to make a spreader plate for the hoop to tunnel brace awsel.
i have also decided to let a proffesional weld the cage up for me as it would really piss me off if its not how i wanted lol

[The Simps]

I'll look forward to it! I think.

[djbrowney]

Not so much as an update,
went and collected my crank, pistons, rods, valves, guides amd shims monday night, only need the dry sump and cams for finsh the bulk of the engine. Hopeful get it built up before xams

Bought ben ev corsa turbo from him tonight, nice spec let acralite pistons, steel rods, z20let pick up pipe and pump, oil squirter is the block, snazzzzzy fanny moulds and so on. im planning on using the box and diff in my car and breaking the wrest. keep an eye out in the for sale threads.

[djbrowney]

sorry mate, what did you want me to do again i been so budy mate i really need to crack on with the car lol

[djbrowney]

Fook me how long ago was it from the last update lol

I dont even want to think about how many hours i have worked from my last update but it has given the project a good kick up the **** with out actually doing anything apart from spending lots of £££££ but then that the easy bit :cry:

Having bought ben ev corsa managed to gain a f28 with a quaife atb for free along with some other little bits gagues/willwood bias vavle ect :p

Went up to ricks a phew weeks ago and collected some seats, seat rails, holley lift pump, swirl pot, internal line and a few aero quip fittings

also had a few trips to see sbs were i have collected my crank, pistons, rods, valves, shims, guides and the latest purchase was a dry sump, head gasket and a set of camshafts that i need to collect some time very soon.

My solid engine mounts should be here some time this week so i can mock up for the dry sump becasue iirc i need to remove so chassis rail :cry:

The head is over at gaz-d being ported and polished and having the porus mod done while its there.

next on the list engine wise is to get the caps machine to fit the griddle which i need to buy, also get the cams from sbs so i can get gaz-d to shim the head (glad im not doing that lol )

Im hoping to get the engine built over xmas but only time will tell its not long away now

Going to try and get some metal tomorrow to build a spit so i can get the car rolled over clean the undersaside and stich under the car, then get the cage welded up and get some primer in there asap

on a plus side got some new sockets wired up, a 3m roller shutter that need fitting and some more lights should be here this week :thumb:

will upload some later sorry lol

[Count Vaux Alot]

The shell looks good was that trackdays old one? Is this the new daily we were talking about?

[djbrowney]

yes and yes lol

[chrisnovaturbo]

what you fitting the quaife shifter to? the track or daily nova?

[djbrowney]

the track car mate, i can see this is going to get confusong lol

[Paul]

new thread ftw

[Count Vaux Alot]

new thread ftw

Agreed :thumb:

[djbrowney]

no way lol

[Count Vaux Alot]

Hi mate i did some digging for you on the turbo front and i need to know what power you are actually after? So i can try and suit a unit to your needs, the GT30 with the 76 comp wheel will be spot on for 500 - 550 ish all day long at 1.4 bar but if your after more power than that then we may have to think again. I spoke to my boss concerning the 82 comp wheel and he said this wheel can have issues with surge due to the comp wheel to turbine wheel ratio so its probably not worth opting for that particular set up.

[djbrowney]

The GT3082R is also known as a GT3040 as it has an 82mm GT35/40 compressor wheel mated to a GT30 turbine. Its the largest GT30 and I believe its rated for 600hp-650hp lol

[Count Vaux Alot]

The GT3082R is also known as a GT3040 as it has an 82mm GT35/40 compressor wheel mated to a GT30 turbine. Its the largest GT30 and I believe its rated for 600hp-650hp lol

I know this already....my point was it will be laggy as fook due to the size of the comp wheel compared to the turbine wheel so if you don't mind the lag then go for that but if you want something more responsive its either the smaller 76 comp wheel or a different choice of turbo or a different choice of comp cover and turbine housing. Just remember that, that figure is also a manufactures rating for what that turbo is capable and the same result isn't always seen in practice lol

[djbrowney]

i got the car stripped over the weekend, did take a few pictures but my camera decided to delete them all :( any way the track car is sat on stands and the road one is now on the spit :thumb: hopfully get it in paint asap so i can get it build just need a heater and a compressor :pmsl:

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i70/djbrowney/006-37.jpg

now on the look out for a compressor :(

[Count Vaux Alot]

Looking good mate - i got my compressor from costco (you have to joint but its only £12 or so) its 150ltr and 3hp it cost just over £300 and its pretty good i've had it 3 years and give it **** and its been spot on (it will probably fail now i've said that!) It runs most things well ie paint gun, underseal gun nut gun etc but the only real bastid is the grinder or anything with a high air consumption.

Whats your budget?

[djbrowney]

im not really sure on budget, i watchin one on ebay local to me that finishes in a little while, its a 200ltr so should do the job lol

[auzzy-b]

Thats awesome mate! wish i had a shell whirler to get under the car

[scott.parker]
