i know this will be covered all over search but tbh i hate the thing Lol, just want a few questions answered really.
basically i have a 1.4 sr shell and am thinking/really wanting to put a turbo in, was going to go down the valver route but is it really that much more money and hassle fitting the LET?
what will i need?
Engine and g/box obviously
full fitting kit (do these come with the hubs and cvs?)(and are the fitting kits different depending on which gearbox i use?)
2.0ltr/v6 brakes
uprated suspension
custom exhaust (do i use the standard manifold from the engine?)
il have an intercooler hopefully next week, what other bits and bobs are needed? what extra piping will i need?
fuel tank/pump (which one?)
what size rad will i be wanting?
do i use the standard loom and basically re-wire it the standard nova one? il be asking many questions about that once i have the thing, but what i need to know for now is there any extra cost to it?
what do i need to do with the shell? obviously itl need seam welding,my mate told me id have to cut out part of the inner arch so the thing will actually fit lol, and then re-weld it over. is this right? hopefully he will be doing all the welding for me
am i missing anything here? and do you think its worth paying that extra bit and getting a LET rather than an XE? not looking to modify the engine to begin with but its always good to know that when im ready for it i can pretty much spend all the money in the world tuning it.
any help/advice appreciated :thumb: and before some of you try and talk me out of it, its just a spare nova shell i have so time isnt an issue and il actually find it fun doing it and reliability isnt an issue as itl hardly be driven tbh.
