Keiths Nova Turbo build

If you want a loom making Keith then I know a guy that would do a pukka job. Price would be about ?400 with all new connectors included. He has done several cosworth looms for me and they are awesome, I'll dig out a pic.

Why use aftermarket management ? Just stick with the moronic and speak to Stu @ Motorsport Developments for a live mapping session.

Much better than the EDS or EVO chips.

Regarding the slam panel it is much easier to have it removed for when working on the engine, but it does looks miles tidier with it left untouched, knowing how nice you keep your novas Keith I would attempt to leave the slam panel in situ and work round it.

keith if you are sticking with the kkk there is deffo no need to remove the slam panel! just remove the bar that runs to the cross member as i think you have done already?
looks like its coming on well though mate!:)

That loom is lovely! whats this I hear about live mapping didnt know it was possible on a LET ecu. How much does it cost?

Yep the loom is bloody awesome mate, his work is A1.

Live mapping on a cossy is approx ?600, but I think thats over 3 days everything is looked into. cold start etc..

Best to look through his website really and drop Stu a email about any enquiries.

He can crack just about any ecu now so no need to upgrade to an aftermarket ecu unless your building something completely mad.

Cheers for the info Jonboy, let me know when your mate can do it and i'll get it all wrapped up ready to send - probably after x-mas tho!

The Inlet and turbo were discustingly dirty lol. So since the weather was slightly better today, i went and steam cleaned them both. The inlet could still do with some autosol to remove some of the dirt, but until the engines rebuild it makes it cleaner to work at.

Turbo came up excellent, and will only now need a quick rub over to make it 100%.

Should be taking the engine out next weekend. And the strengthning to the shell is scheduled for Jan.

You getting a new one made up keith or your one reconditioning?

I just got the wishbones back today from my neighbour, they've been plated at the bottom to box them in and add strength. I also asked him to put in two small tubes where the bolts go, to prevent the box section collapsing when under pressure from the bolts.

The ball joint will run on top (usually inside the section) and the tie bar below (to clear the gearbox)

Some pics, Check out how neat the tig welding is!!
