I'd say if that is the turbo I think you have then with good boost control you will see over 300hp.

Awesome result that.
Get a manual boost controller so that you can set it to hold the higher boost level
EDIT-Didn't noticed it had already been mentioned about holding the boost lol
I'm pleased and honoured to say that this thread has now had over ....
100,000 views !!!
I think this may be a PNG/Novaload record for a WIP thread for now - although Keith R is catching up !! lol lol
Cheers for all the comments and views over the last few years & see you all at PVS'08

Just had a read through this thread and looked at the photos. Some serious workmanship has gone into this Nova. Top marks to you, and congratulations on your TV feature. Well deserved. Good figures from the RR aswell, animal i bet!?
Im currently rebuilding my Nova at the moment, and your rebuild has given me encouragement and motivation to get it done, as been abit slack as of late!
Its been a while since I have made any changes but I did a bit more tinkering today .....
I sourced an Apexi boost controller on the advice of the chaps at The Racing Line who set up the car last year. I've had the controller about 6 months so I thought I'd best get it fitted before this years season kicks off in earnest!
I thought about the best place to put the controller and have come up with here .....

Seems to nestle quite nicely on the end of the dash and is in easy reach for the all important tweaking when setting up.
Just need to figure out the wiring - the instruction manual says this :-
Apexi Loom-----------GM Loom
Red-------------------Black (ignition switched positive)
Purple-----------------Green (RPM signal)
Green-----------------Earth
Black------------------Earth
Grey------------------????? (throttle signal)
White-----------------Blue/red (speed signal from digidash transducer)
Anyone know on the C20LET which wire to use for the throttle sensor wire (as the C20LET has five wires going to the TPS)
Also have these in the box ......

This above is the boost sensor - easy to plumb in from the feed to the fuel pressure regulator.

Now this part above has me foxed a bit - I assume this will take the place of the amal value (which will be left wired in) but I am unsure which pipes should go where - any advice much appreciated !

Can't help you with the wireing Joff, however i'll be interested when you find out! good to see you back updating.
id have a word with G8WCC (gareth) as he's got one on his iirc, sure hes got some pics on his wip.
pm'ed
OK,
With a bit of searching and some advice I think I now have this sussed ....
The Apexi grey wire for the TPS should be attached to a brown green wire here ....

So thats the wiring issue sorted ! The plumbing bit I think goes from the standard piping which looks like this ....

To this with the Apexi controller....

Can you chaps confirm this is the correct way of plumbing in. Basically capping off the pipe to the turbo and the controller has the wastegate pipe on COM and the breather pipe on NC.
Cheers
Joff
hey joff got some pics and diagrams on my computer at home will pm them over to you myn is different as im running an external waste gate but ill work the plumbing out for you and send it over later
