Good work

Really think you should of welded up the seems in the bay tho mate

[turbojolt]

meh if it twists it twists, Ive spoken to people that have run big power novas and didn't bover welding and they never had a problem, if this engine comes out for a let, then i will have it all sandblasted back all plated and welded etc..

and to be truthful Ive decided not to bover welding the rest of the legs aswell, the factory welds are more then likely stronger then my shocking welding skills, i know people will completely disagree with all of this but I'm not fussed, I'm convinced that the story's of twisted bays are from shockingly **** shells

[Edd]

Never heard of twisting bays tbh

Deffo heard of and seen factory spot welds splitting tho mate

You MIGHT get away with on standard XE power tho

if it happens, it happens, on my head be it

personally ive never heared of anyone having these kinda problems with other marques, 300+hp rs turbos, 400+hp old single cam turbo civics, i started a thread asking for proof and no one showed me a picture of it happening to there car or a friends motor just a load of talk and no real mention of the shells orignal condition, as said this might go against the grain a little but mehh its my car i will do what i want

[Edd]

Oh yeah just crack on mate

But if it does split at least you could post a pic of the evidence in your own thread

[turbojolt]

will do fella, im man enough to own up to my own mistakes

Worst excuse ever the reason a nova bay twists is the suspension arm bolts to the cross member so under strain its like a jack hammer banging away on the cross member to its good for nothing.
Look at pauls yellow nova thread it has loads of cracks and he was constantly weldind rear mounts etc in.

Nowadays it worth doing the full stitch as you'll not find a solid shell fast like 10 years ago
