    Talking Twin Turbo Nova?? :D

    From Roybacer.co.uk:

    ----
    yes guys i've decided on the latest project
    1400 twin turbo nova
    plan to do this using a pair of R5 Turbo units on a custom manifold and hoping against hope to run silly bugger boost levels and have a 200 bhp 1400
    anyone know of companies that manufacture headgaskets to individual specifications or is it gonna be a grp A gasket every other week lol

    Wink

    Twice the number of engines to blow up, twice the amount of smoke to pour out, twice the expense. That's if the nova doesn;t vomit out the useless engines first.

    Sounds interesting Mr R, the magic 200bhp eh?

    Mine has 160bhp apparently so i'd be interested as to how you get on with this.

    In a Nova, this should shift alright.

    Did drive GTE 16v, on the look out for new car

    Smile

    Even with an LSD though how will that light little car handle the power and get it the power down from the start, probably won't be able to use first gear

    Hey SHO off,

    How would you like to put some money down on this project of Mr Rs, against yours on a strip in the future?

    Could get interesting?

    ps. The R5 is quicker than you may think.
