I have a cast Courtenay manifold to use initially
Waiting for a new Garrett T2/25 turbocharger to show up
Still need pipework etc, but will sort that when the main parts are fitted

Hi Edd can you text me regarding the accelerator pedal trim as messages I send to people on here are not getting to them, I did send you a couple of messages regarding what you offered on my post. 07837401675, thanks pal.
FINALLY I have found the problems to the idling
come on...tell us!Quote:

It was the ICV
I bought a brand new GM one/bosch off ebay
The gate that shuts inside the new one leaves a smaller hole when shut than the other two used one I had
Now I don't know if it totally correct as although the new and old look identical they have different bosch numbers stamped in
But it does idle correctly when up to temperature
Will post a pic over next few days
Bit of a wait for good weather tho lol
Well done. Extreme trial and error paid off.

But it's taken a long time to find a new one
The one I have is a E16SE one, different part number to the irmscher one I think?
The part number for the 18E aux valve supercedes to the E16SE anyway so are interchangeable.
I understand the want for new. But a used but cleaned and re-oiled might have done it...
one thing people forget to do is re-oil them.
Benn I tried cleaning and oiling etc
Wish it was summer :(
Cool cool, just alot don't was all. And yes we all wish it was still nice.
Wait to see if there's a dry day to test drive it? We've had a few cold but dry days down here...
jesus another one nearly 6 years old, has it been on the road yet? slowest builds of the car scene here on png
Yes it has been on the road thanks, all very brief tho
BUT building this car is a hobby and not my life
In the time I've owned it, I have saved up to buy a house in a decent area, spent time and cash renovating said house
Also saved up to get married with top honeymoon
All very much more important than a Vauxhall nova sport
Hopefully be able to use it a bit more now I've finally found the problem
Exactly that Edd, other things in life come before a nova.
What was the problem with it?
Wish my sport build had only taken 6 years.
It's very easy to see how projects take a back seat. When I started mine I thought I'd have it all done within a year but life gets in the way, plus motivation comes and goes and money restraints as well at the end of the day like edd says it's a hobby to most of us and the driving is sometimes secondary, it's the building that's the fun bit.
Are you serious? If so you need to get out a bit more..:pQuote:

Mr T, who cares if it takes him 16 years as its his project and he can take as long as he wants, 6 years is nothing when you've got no rust lol
i like the build, its a nice car and i agree that to do them to a high standard takes time, most people also like the building than actually driving them, but when they start taking this long then you can fall out of love with them, hence why you see so many builds getting broken once there complete, get it mot'd/taxed and get it out as soon as the winter is over and abuse/use it like a car, then rebuild it again in ten years
If I was you, i'd ditch all the old skool loom/management, buy some DTA, loom and get it finished. Understand that will cost a bit more, but will have it all uber reliable.
I had contemplated ditching the old school stuff but I want to retain it really so it's more in keeping with the age of the car
Plus the loom is brand new
I'm confident I've resolved the long standing problem now as well
Back doing some stuff on this now
Rear quarter glass and windscreen removed
Headlining out to make a new one
Got this material to make it from, a very very near match to original

Cage out to have extra tubing welded in to make X
Few turbo conversion parts collected

Neat [emoji41]
Looking good edd. Servo set up looks ace.
Keen to see how you get on with the turbo conversion.
Servo does look great, are the proper bulk head fittings?
Yes Benn proper bulkhead fittings
Looks more tidy that way I think
Nice work on the servo setup, very tidy. Have you tested it then?
looking forward to the turbo setup after all this time as well ;)
I've tested it yeah, it was fitted before I had it on the road last year
Turbocharger stuff is close
Nice, might have to get some of them too. Does look tidier.Quote:

Bloody glad to hear it! Be nice to see it, and meet you at a show lol
Some nice bits. Material for the roof lining looks bob on!! I also made my own. Was bloody hard work, but worth it.
Where did you get them? Or what are they called? Can't find anything that looks like it on ebay.Quote:
