Yeah I have seen that dude! I'm unsure. Would do turreting for talk if anything lmaoLooking good rob! Haven't read all of thread: but it's possible to get Avo's on without turreting the rear, just give it a good smack with a lump hammer. Saves work!
Look forward to seeing it done
I was thinking AVO plus bash=
Or GAZ with its 26 (iirc) settings (lmao why?) and turrets.

My mate just said, Turret it you nob!!

I need inlet,fuel rail, injectors,DISpak,bottom pulley,crank sensor/bracket, engine loomwhat ya need? I have a shed full of most bits for alot of VXs lol! I really got to see whats in there! I prob have SR suspension still in there
The tank on my nova is a silly 1.0 spec one, its prob is the problem as if I go round a corner with half a tank it goes down to almost reserve on the gauge lmao Oh well at £15 to fill half a tank it doesnt matter atm!
Ahh, the 1L tank explains the engine dieing with 1/4 tank,Lol. That also means you dont have a fuel return lineLol
Ok will check my shed but....I need inlet,fuel rail, injectors,DISpak,bottom pulley,crank sensor/bracket, engine loom

I have put a return in

Oooof! that's all I can say really. Loving it.
A C16 would be different to the hoardes of XE's out there.
In UR BITCH MEKKIN NOO DOODZ
cheers

smallblock 8v turbo mate.
User called cheeze is selling a Courtenay manifold, turbo & some other bits. Get some low CR pistons from Mattheus & then fit a dirrty great intercooler & megasquirt. Blow them XEs into the weeds.
Re handling, you can strengthen, polybush, rosejoint & uprate all day long, but the same mods on a smallblock will reap better rewards. A pukka smallblock will overtake an XE* round the inside or outside of a bend, you choose.
*Said XE was plate strengthened with Bilstein cup dampers, polybushes & -60mm.
it's a C20XE not a fookin Redtop FFS
Interesting... hmmmm

depends on your shell as it goes, and turrets are a good idea, as the original 'turrets' arent really designed to take the load of the rear of the car
spanish, dunno how much 18xe's are, gonna be investigating next year though

Nice one Lee!!! Gonna research that one I think!
123bhp std arent they? A bit of sexual TB-ness and one should be 'sorted'
www.shonkyopels.de
Research done- Don't bother with ebay! No Z18's aroundlmao
www.shonkyopels.de
they are very responsive to a set of pistons and some cams, was chatting to a guy who has afiberglass shelled nova in the BRCC with an 18 in it, 237 bhp, still on a wet sump
and the torque is apparently quite impressive, definitely the engine i'd pick to start with now

DRIZZ

This is even gayer than the Venga bus! lmao
Go Fly, go fly, go fly!
*Graham Norton cheers and spunks in his pants!* lmao
You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.
Warren Buffett.
The thing is that on most trackdays you can't overtake on the corners anyway.
If you've got an LET nova (even running standard boost) stripped out, stiffened up, decent suspension and good tyres you'll be able to hold it in the corners then absolutely poop yourself going down the straights and watch the small block novas disappear in your rear view mirror as they try to keep up by revving to 9k!! lmao
Simps
I'll second that !!
Rich
not sure whether its been said yet but talking of C16XE broster got 193bhp out of his with TB's n stuff......
Yes he's car is awesome but struggles to get good times on the 1/4 but is mental on track.
