That looks awsome mate. I was considering Turboing my C25XE but this is something else.
On the note of gearboxes I blew my F20 on sat night but I recon it was because of a lose gearbox mount causing me to miss the gear :p lol. I'm putting another F20 in it. They are fine for big bhp imo as long as they are well looked after.
f18wr out of a densel astra would work better imho, thats what im using on my let
This project is nutts! Liking the Black btw, an overlooked colour on Novas.
Are you still using the F18 now the turbo is involved?
yeah the f18 is a WR from a derv and will be good for around 178mph @6800rpm iirc, if it holds up to the added turbo is another question but i'm not a one shy of trying a couple to test it out!

The SAAB engine is a 3.0 v6 but the turbo setup is old school and not as good as the new vectra vxr one, this runs from both heads giving an equal flow.Quote:

What an F18 WR From?
lol the 3.0V6 Turbo saab engine is lower power than the N/A one!
I'd be a bit wary of the gearbox, turbos push up torque quite nicely and thats what will munch a gearbox. My V6 pushes 199lbft of torque and has eaten 3 F20s already.
Less Power lol.Quote:
