WIP Nova turbo 1.6i SRI

Right cars up and running and will hold a bit of boost havent tryed reving all the way up yet. Problem is that took for an mot yesterday and the car didnt smoke at all, then on way home about 4 miles later when the car sat in traffic for more than 10 seconds it started to smoke badly, but when i drove off it cleared again, we where thinking it cant be the turbo seals because it should smoke all the time. but at the moment the car is running rough so were thinking its either over fueling so im off this morning to get the fuel and air setup. apart from that the car runs sweet its a bit hard with the poly bushes in but i bet it will handle a treat. any thoughts on the smoking???? or is it thats its a fresh build and just needs running in?

Bigger turbo and some more mods we have done, full engine spec when up and running right. rolling road jan to see how much im pushing then standalone getting put on.

cheers for the commets will take some more pics today.

No ideas on the smoking. Hope for your sake its nothing major. Maybe have a smell & see if its unburnt fuel or keep an eye on the water & oil levels.
You should get pretty good economy from it off boost so if it consumes a lot of fuel then it could be overfuelling.

Nice car mate,still find that manifold strange though.

I would say your over fueling etc,as the cars not set or running right on the "tricked" ecu set up,my mate has a e16 turbo and its not set up/mapped on his dta yet and it burns fuel on over run and also staves it at times when he plats his foot so it stuters then it compensates and russhes fuel in and bang it back fires lol he needs it sorting,sounds like you might have the sme thing - the pop bangs.

What colour is the smoke?

its blue smoke we have put it down to the inlet seals on the turbo because it only smokes on tick over, so turbos going for repair on the 3rd jan. will be looing for my standalone man system soon everyone keeps telling me mega squirt has anyone heard of this?

got my grill and boot handle back yesterday about time!!

pics are from the other day.

Right then found camera after i lost it for a day, heres some pics with the grill and boot handle in and some engine bay photos, its looks loads better in person. i found the turbo doctors phone number last night on an old thread hoping it still works after new years because i hear he has done 1.6 turbos before and might be worth the drive up to see what he can help me with anyone know if his still around? or any good? i need to get the standalone man on because the cars not ticking over correctly. i was also looking at people are running a 5th injector do you have to run this because at the moment the car boosts alright and doesnt feel like its lacking fuel. parking car up for xmas until the turbo has been sorted on the 3rd so back after the new year, and ive got loads of ideas still to come.
cheers for the comments and help have a good xmas.

Car is looking great mate, bay looks sweet, needs a blue top rad hose tho ;) Lol
Liking the manifold now its turned same colour as motorbike cans do..


Megasquirt can do exactly what you need.

But you will need a mapper who can use it....
You will also need a MAP sensor etc so it knows how much boost is going in.
4 injectors should be fine with megasquirt, as it will just add more fuel depending on how much boost is entering the inlet. Might be worth fitting 20xe injectors to make sure the 1600 ones dont reach max duty cycle.

Also, a wideband lambda and controller would be handy.



Yeah, sounds like turbo seals.. Was the turbo a re-con? Or just bought off ebay or something?

Looks lovely that pal. Novas always look nice in black IMO.

Top hose is not that simple in samco both ends are different size's and ive moved the rad, but will sort something out in time, only started on engine bay theres loads to be done yet. yes turbo is re-con from a turbo centre in derby, so takin it back on the 3rd for them to sort out. my mate had same problem with his turbo from there so it makes me think there no good. got a set of xe injectors lieing around so bonus.

Xmas prezzi off the girlfriend.
