big job then mate , can`t wait to see manifold come together

I have been thinking a lot about the Nova recently, E.g. how long I want the car and what I want from it.

I decided from now on if I find any rot its getting cut out. If I can't buy it I will make it and if its not done for PVS12 then its not done.. I want to do it right, and to the best of my ability's. I really think the car is worth it. I have a lot of fond memory's of the car and she has served me well.. I have made a few friends from her to and I think its about time it needs a Full on rebuild. That is why am doing everything I can to it. All the work done on the car I will do my self even spraying it as it means to much to me, I want to be able to say.. Yeah I Built that Car. and yeah I want it looking standard on the out side but 100% different under the bonnet. I will keep you updated on the FannyMold Sam as I know you 'Understand' my logic.

Jesus that turbo will be a bit lagtastic wont it?
Im making a exhaust mani for mine for a rhb5 turbo, i had david dixon on migweb make up the flanges so if you need the head one he should have the templates.
Can't wait to see this come together it will be insane!

The Spec is about the same as a RHB5 and I have been in Dervy's Astra with one fitted and it were fine so I should be okay. If not I will fit a T2 (bolt straight on)

Cheers Dan

Sounds like you know what your doing. Is your's a 1.7 or a 1.5 i cant remember now?

[Balley]

1.5 I plan to fit a 1.7 cdti one day though.. but i will give it a few years as I want the 125bhp one out of a Corsa D and there still a bit dear and I would need stand alone management to run it. Funds don't stretch that far at the minute!

Arn't They 1.9 Fiat engines though, the 1.7 cdti is still an old Isuzu engine as is the Honda I.CDTI engine and some Mazda 323s
