is it possible to take the turbo unit and manifold from a 1.5TD nova and stick it onto say, a 1.4 or 1.6 nova? does anyone know what pressure the 1.5TD unit runs at? it would be a good experiment anyhow :-)

RE: TURBO'D NOVAS
I read some where that some bloke put a turbo on his 1.4, he used a turbo from a r5 gt turbo & a cav desiel intercooler. I can't remember where I read it though.
RE: TURBO'D NOVAS
I saw the same as you Dan, I think it was on this site, but it might have been before the latest update, so I'm not sure if it's still on here somwhere. A 1.4 turbo would be nice
RE: TURBO'D NOVAS
dont you need to put oil feeds in from the crank case!! just in case it wasnt thourhg of
RE: TURBO'D NOVAS
That is a cool idea, if it works!!! I think I'll be leaving it for someone else to find out though!!!
RE: TURBO'D NOVAS
I like the sound of Nova GSi Turbo. !!
RE: TURBO'D NOVAS
If i remember rightly Ian Storey might know something about a guy who does these conversions quite cheap. But he probably won't be on here tonight. Difficult choice though standard GSI or 1.4 Turbo hmmmm.
RE: TURBO'D NOVAS
a choice between turbo or not,hmmmmmmm definately a turbo, so you can fit a dump valve and watch peoples heads turn as you change gear!!!!!
RE: TURBO'D NOVAS
That means ringing Adrian Flux again and getting another quote.
RE: TURBO'D NOVAS
I asked someone on here about it. They used a 1.6 engine, sandwhich plate to drop the compression, mahle? pistons, r5 turbo. He had to take it to courtney to get it running right though, but it`s worth it if you can be bothered.
