[scott s]

hi ppl im a old one cumin bak to this forum so hi to all... and for my first post just a quick wee q.. iv seen it done but want to know wots involved in fittin a v6 into a nova i only know of one done and thats brett rogans but i cant find any info on the conversion so any help or opinions are much appreciated... thing is i can get a v6 engine cheaper than a 2.0 that why i was concidering it thx in advanced.......

[scott s]

no one have an opinoin on this......

[ydg27]

i have seen it done and its a cram!
have no idea on ow to do it though, try asking mike oxford he seems like a bottom less pit of useful info

[Aragorn]

besides the weight issues the one problem i have heard of is the rear exhaust manifold runs streight thru the steering column - so that would require fabrication of a new manifold

[scott s]

awrite this is more like it.... so anyone else know anything... at all..

[Stuart]

it will cost you a small fortune.

and you will have to make a shed load of stuff yourself/engineering company.

Its been done before and was proven to be shite, it was slower than a stock XE'd nova and not worth the effort. Rick

and to prove that i beat it at york by 0.4 sec

no one said i was looking for performance tho... just imagine the sound of a v6 comin from a nova and not to mention they look the dogs danngles... tho iv heard they are very tuneable with some work..

Here's an idea: BUY A DECENT CAR INSTEAD WANKER

Not tuneable as there is no ones does any bits for them as they are best left in Cav's, Callibras, Vectras and Omegas. Rick

I had some technical input on Brett Rogans first V6 nova (He's built another one since writing the first one off !!!)

As already stated above - the main problem was the rear exhaust manifold hitting the steering rack - Brett had the manifold/system fabricated by Tony Law exhausts (based nr Leeds - well known for building works competition exhaust systems)

Other than the usual wiring problems - the front slam panel had to be modified, the o/s strut (inner wing) had to be reshaped to enable the inlet duct/air filter to route correctly, the o/s/f engine mount has to be fabricated; Bretts runs F16/F20 gearboxs which don't last very long !!!


Although its different in a nova, and sound great - I'd stick with a decent spec C20XE
