Get some tight angled 90deg ally bends and get them welded onto the cooler outlets so your pipes are starting in the bay??
yea thats what i was planning on doing :thumb:
Almost the same ic i have (yours is a bit higher) i had an "elbow" welded on to mine to clear the F28 mount,
Love the ic hidden behind the bumper, looks perfect!
Love it!
cheers benn :)
i much prefer the hidden ic compared to sticking right out,
Think im going to borrow your idea of having the Chav valve on the intercooler aswell
lol It seems to work well, get a nice tight bend welded on. That's what i wanted but he boxed it off which i know isn't ideal, bit its on and works.
On the drivers side you could have the pipe cut and moved so it points in to the bay and is just above the cross member, then you only need a small pipe from turbo outlet to ic...
im going to wait and see what its all like with the engine in and work out what needs doing then,
At the moment it just looks like i need 2 right angles welded onto the intercooler and all should be alright then
Cool cool. Just watch the rad to turbo.. Mine was a bit too close.
yea looking at mine its going to be close,

Still got to get a fan on the back of the rad aswell :(
You should buy my bumper, better air flow to the intercooler ;)
Actually just buy the IC and boost pipes too lol
I'll take phase 2 off your hands :thumb:
i havent cut any out of this bumper as i want the sleeper look,
You don't want ph2 anyway, way too fast lol
And imo no point having an intercooler if no air or very little air is getting to it.
i reckon there will be plenty off cooling, the rad fan will be sucking air through it aswell
If its that bad ill get another bumper to reveil the ic.
I do want phase 2 lol swap ecu's :p
I don't know if you knew this but ph1 and ph2 run the same amount of boost anyway (0.95 bar)
Xe Ftw
Really why the up in power them it goes from 240 to 280ish depending on what else is done,
I want just under 300 and ill be happy
Agree with the above! LET Novas are so fast they're almost un-drivable
Humm, if I'm honest here, i don't see anything over 210-220bhp from ff in a nova being worth doing/having, as it's bad enough to keep grip to get usable power with 185bhp lol
Exactly, unless its a drag car of course.
Non of the power LET offers can be used in a corner.
/\ that doesnt matter all helps on the straights :)
Jimbo you clearly didn't get to "drive" your car before you took it off the road..lol
you will be shocked when your back on the road mate.
right my pistons, rods and bottom end gaskets/seals turned up on saturday :)
Hopefully get the pistons took up the machine shop tomorrow so hopefully have my engine back soon to rebuild :)
Any update's?
Arh haa my thread :) cheers bazil
Right the nova is almost complete now just got to whip the f28 back out then get an exhaust made for it,

Do i get tyres for these? hmmmm

Looking good mate, loving the doorcards too, and I'd fit the vectra wheels, :)
Yep I really like the Vectra wheels as well. ;)
Would look good it you could do the same to the centres of the seats as the door cards somehow.
Actually love the hatch, you still got it? I have a b rej 1l saloon in "leaf green" iirc with the green cheq interior :)

This was what he had left over a year ago :( Poor pea.
http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthr...=1#post1649678
no bits from pea are salvageable, well the bits that are im keeping for the next nova i build,
I hope the weldings alright lol it was my 1st attempt

No pics of removal cause we've seen it done 100 times and i know where everything should go now hopefully haha,
