Gorgeous 2.0L Turbo Engine Bay

[KeithRobinson]

Mental fella on Novaload.net is coming to the end of his mental 2.0L Turbo project. Its running a HUGE turbo, and loads of trick bits like that gorgeous manifold. Not much room left in the bay eh?

Estimated to run 350bhp to start with, but once run in he wants to boost it to over 400bhp

Here are some up to date pics of my now running nova :lol: Going to try and sort out this week when it can be fitted in to be mapped up and then go from there.

Enjoy Rick

[KeithRobinson]

Standard BERU spark leads too by the look of it. I need a new set but they cost a bloody fortune. The original ones on mine are starting to deteriorate. Not bad for 12 years use though!

 

[Tufty]

not bad. is the car used to drive on rds r jst tracks

 

[Big Dog]

class.... boy from magherafelt with a 2.0 8v turbo corsa, not sure on its power... once it grips it goes like ***

 

[Baird]

mental looking, some moneys worth there..

 

[Sonny]

would that not rip the nova apart, all that power

 

[Adam]

Most of the guys on MIG do it properly unlike your average bloke down the road. They fully strip the cars and seam weld everything in sight.

 

[slinky2000]

thats looks pretty mint alright

 

[Emmy]

there goes the 'nova turbo leeek' jokes then

 

[Marc]

looks cool as ****... esp the manifold

 

[Dermot]

Very nice .... But 400BHP from a FWD nova ?? Its not going to go anywhere ...

Infact, I reckon Most cars would kill it 1/4

 

[Adam]

Yeah it will most likely wheelspin the whole 1/4 mile but at least it will be fun to watch!

tire shreddin at its best... i wudnt mind a go

 

[Tufty]

surely its not legal having a choped front panel if it where to crash there would b notin to cut down on impact cud not see the insurance company lettin that go

 

[Spoony]

Looks sweet!! that manifold is mental lookin!!

Plenty of BHP goin on under there, lovin it

 

[Max]

ermmmmmmmmm, power

 

[MrCool]

Thats a sweet power plant, just a pitty he did'nt swing the engine round and convert it to RWD, with the work he has done I'm sure he could of tackled the job. And it would of laid down the power better
Love to know what the engine spec is as the 2.0l turbo even when chipped finds it hard to pop over the 300 mark thats serious power, Unless he has spend funny money on the guts of the engine.

 

[ewok]

thats what you call an engine very nice good luck with her
