Aluminum block
forged rods pistons
stock crank
PRC stg 2.5 317 heads
Lil John custom grind cam
Holley hi ram 92mm
120lb injectors

Tial BOV
Tial 38mm twin gates
Up and forward manifolds (spoolin performance)

Good news today got a call from forced induction turbo is done.. got the 317s to the machine shop soon enough ill be ready to start on the hot side...

randomninels1nova

Still waiting on the turbo and being that I need it to do the hot side I'm still waiting in the mean time anyone do a similar build?

Sorry about the pics they are from my phone but a month later it's here!!!

Hey guys I need some ideas on turbo placement!!!!

DEFYANT

Battery area?

randomninels1nova

That's what I was thinking but with the tubular headers it's gonna make pipe routing interesting

Novas aren't bristling with tons of space. You might have to rethink the headers.

I'm pretty much committed to running them, the lack of space is definitely an issue.. but I think I can get away with a similar placement as you Ron

If only someone would make a plastic version of the turbo so a guy could hold it in various locations. :-)
I'm sure you will figure it out. I look forward to following along.

Looks good! What part of the valley are you located?

randomninels1nova

this build looks very similar to mine except im using an LS6 intake and a 78/92 1.10 A/R. I'm very curious as to what you're going to put down

Here is my "helping hands" setup I used when trying various orientations for turbo placement.



Ron, I love your way with words:

i used my engine hoist lol. the mojo is heavy.

s475 in nova, with headers, never again.

randomninels1nova

Yea I can't wait to see what this thing makes! A little ways away..

So it's been a while since I've updated any progress on the car but I have finished up the whole hotside minus wastegates which I'm now going twin gates as opposed to my original plan of 1 60mm. Also changed my plans on the heads

PRC 2.5 6.0 heads


I just wanna make everyone aware that this is a first attempt at fabing a turbo kit for me and my buddy, with that being said don't bash us too hard.
