C20let Conversion or C16xe with throttle boddies

[carlo46]

i am not sure which conversion to do to my nova its getting used as a weekend/trackday car i have always craved a nova turbo but a few of my friends have said theres lots of nova turbos getting built why not build something different

if anyone could give me some advice what you people think that would be excellant

[joshy]

both sound decent projects, though the nova turbo would be more fun on the road im sure, you might get used to the power of the 16XE quite quickly as well...

what do YOU want to build? simples

There is only one nova turbo in newcastle, how is that too many?

[carlo46]

is that all that there is up north mate what are c20let novas like when you use them on track days

[MK999]

As above, build what you actually want, do it once and do it right. I have had all sorts of thoughts on how to do mine cheaper/quicker/easier and ended up deciding that the best way will be to do what I actually want to do with it, otherwise it'll get torn apart again to be rebuilt the way you actually wanted, or just not enjoyed.

i have fancied doing a let nova for while but i decided to be different and try out 16xe turbo, no idea how it will turn out or what it will be like on track but thats part of it for me.

more than one like mate but not that many

A 16XE will be miles more responsive and predictable on track, but I'd probably go for a LET just for out and out giggles

Tbf if it's a track car neither a c20xe on throttlebodies would be my shout or to be different a 2.0 ecotec on throttle bodies
