Should be pretty similair for the Nova and Corsa. Anyone 1.7 Nova's on here?? Hard to find Isuzu engine tuners these days.

Currently have a 1.5 TD Corsa with Aluminium Allard Intercooler and running 1.3 BAR (Have had 1.5 before).

I have done it and it was strraight forward. You have to use the cam belt backing plate off the 1.5 and the engine mount on that side bolts straight on. The holes are there but hidden

Did you have a 1.5TD Nova and upgrade to 1.7TD Nova? What car did the 1.7 engine come from?

You on MSN mate?
