saab turbo engine question

[bigbazzer]

i have seen a few of these fitted in vauxs now including one in a vec b estate!!

my friend has been offered a 2.3 lump for his nova and i was wondering if anyone has fitted one to a nova yet and how much work is involved?

any info much appreciated

[nige-p]

the 2.3 lumps have a larger timing chain cover so the engine is a little bit wider on that side, i know its a very tight fit in a corsa so im not sure about fitting into nova

[bigbazzer]

do u know what mounts etc would be needed? i have had friends fit c20lets into novas but never seen a saab lump being fitted.

be interesting conversion i think

anyone have any info?

i dont think there is any info as i dont think a nova has been done yet im going to say it would be custom mounts for a nova as it doesnt have a front subframe like the saab/ vauxhall
