Right so after a good 12 years, I finally have the bug to start on my Nova again. Luckily with it being garaged, rust is less of an issue, but the shody paint job and the C20XE engine have to go, along with some wiring issues. But I want turbo power back in the nova once its all sorted.
I originally wanted to go down the LET route, but they are getting rarer and with budget constraints its just not going to be possible for me. But the newer Z20let and Z20LEH seem a good idea. I almost thought of the Corsa 1.6 turbo, but with a CAN bus, its just a lot of work for no gain.
I did think if building my XE into a LET but parts etc. would cost the same as a Z20LET, so I am still mulling over the best option.
So something simple with its own loom that i can get my hands on.
What are your thoughts? I don't want silly power, (standard will be fine) but a bit of the return to my Series One RS Turbo days, plus you gotta love a dump valve in a tunnel.
Deffo not thinking Saab lumps as although cheaper, seem a lot more hassle.
