Another engine idea

[djp_y2k]

Just read that regal are doing a 4x4 kit for the nova. Not sure if this is true though.

SO I was thinking doing this and throughing in a 2,5 v6 with a turbo or super charger.

Anyone actually fitted this engine or know how it is done

and

do you reckon a turbo or super charger would fit in as well coz there wont be much room with the engine.

These are only thoughts, (but my thoughts have a tendency to come reality) so I doubt I will do it, but I could! :lol:

Cheers

ive only seen 1 2.5 v6 and that was that blue 1 in max power with the mk 4 golf head lights but i wasnt turbo or super charged dont recon it needed it tbh cud waste evos and imprezas no probs think it was a bit of a ball ache 2 fit tho like if i remember readin it right

[djp_y2k]

Yea know the one.

I'm pretty sure some one from here has done it but not sure who.

Just makes it more fun with a super charger or turbo. lol :lol:

Yeah there are a few V6's in Novas, the only ones i have seen are the Cavalier V6 but the Vectra GSi would be the most fun.

I think to fit a supercharger you would need to cut a hole in your bonnet like the old MK1 escorts etc.

Was a supercharger for sale at Billing for ?350 :lol:

Just a point the V6's really do chew tyres and ui doubt those 19"s are cheap.

also they eat suspesion nd driveshafts according to 2 v6 owerners iv chatted to

the yr shit hot i na straight line but due to being too front end heavy they dont handle mind u ur on 19s so it wudnt really apply,

ive heard theres no point in fitting the v6 as it is such a heavy engine u have to make the front end so stiff that it doesnt handle at all only way of havin a v6 and it still handling is for it to go in the back

there was a 3L v6 nova saloon at billing on throttle bodies. he was being a prick driving it round on full power through the site

[Ben (lurk75)]

no disrespect to Dan but i dont think he will be that worried about handling and speed etc, i would have thought he just wants an engine as unusual as the bodywork, probably wrong.

Obviously not going to spend that much money and want it unuseable, but the V6's are not that bad, just wouldnt advise one for a track day etc...

can't imagine the 4x4 thing being true! :?
