we got hold of a vectra vxr engine (z28net) so decided to use the turbo and remote pipes for the 3.2, so this is where the turbo will be sitting but the intercooler will be lower down.
we going to run it at 5psi with around 10.3:1 compression but i think we'll get away with around 8 without retarding the timing, we'll see how it goes :thumb:

This has all the right bits for an epic Nova. One question though. If you had a VXR engine why not just use that?

I know 3.2 V6 turbo sounds more impresive but surely the power output of the VXR lump would be better and it's all ready to go, so to speak.

Great build though whatever you do. :thumb:

Thats going to be a hell of an exhaust manifold lol

I guess the blower will only run off the front bank?

well the reason we using this is because the 3.2's run at around 240ish with a filter, 4 bar fpr and a decent exhaust so add the turbo and slightly flowed heads it should see around 320bhp on 5 psi

its not a hard turbo to pipe up to be fair, we using both heads for a good flow with a remote pipes to the turbo. :thumb:

Makes sense. Keep up the good work can't wait to hear this running :thumb:

Bays looking cool as fook with the turbo sat there!!!
How confident are you that you'll be able run 8psi? CR sounds quite high

10:1 is par for the course with turbo engines these days though....

just put the boost in later to get good results :)

impressive work david.
love the fact you have looked beyond the normal engine choices
never thought i would say 'have you seen the 3.2 v6 turbo'd nova' lol
Cant wait to see this finished and heading up the strip :thumb:
