big engine swap

[pickle]

i have a 1.4sri and im getting a 2ltr turbo out of a 130 motor. im gonna get all the engine bay seam welded and a strut brace. just wondering if the car will still be ripped appart with the 2ltr turbo? if so what can i do coz i fucking love my nova and would hate it if the fucker died on me! thanks lads. pickle

get a harry hockley strengthning kit welded in the kit costs ?90 also id use a lower strut brace as well as a top 1. other than that seam weld all the bay and pay detail to doing the joints as this is where the trouble would come from

lol well i hope u wouldn't be welding anything but the joints... and it's stitch welding not seam welding
