well I got my borg s480 billet t6 turbo. also picked up a built 400 th with t-break and csi carbon fiber blanket. worked all my spare time this week doing a new steel roof on my house so now I can get to the car. i'll get some pics up soon.

 

pics of the steel roof too plz

 

ok here is an update. with pics. picked up a fresh 400 turbo with a cheetah t-break , tci converter and csi shield. bought a precision shifter to match it . reverse pattern. billet borg 80/96 t6 1.32. and after getting the steel roof on had time to assemble the front end of the nova.

 

man that looks great! The quote I got to do mine *very similar size house i think* was 60k!!!


car is looking killer too. that 8 is coming home for sure!

 

really! I had a quote of 6k for shingles. and they said double it for steel. I bought everything from mid Michigan metal sales and did the whole job myself in two weekends and after work during the week. I have $3630.00 into it complete. 21 square

 

I hadn't even considered doing it myself. I will look into it.

are you keeping the front end on this nova steel?

 

yes . the car has a wrap on it .im going to paint it at some time so if I get a glass hood it will be painted at some point.

 

my house is a hip roof so it was a pain and I had to cut most of the sheets. but your main steel panels will be precut. It took me about 50 work hours to do it myself. from shingles to final seam chalk. but it has shown me im not as young as I once was. lol.

 

Nice job on the roof, did you skin it first, or lay the panels over the shingles. Was thinking of
doing mine in steel.

 

just put down the vaper barrier and went right over the shingles. there recommendation.

 

40 yr warranty on paint and lifetime on steel

 

Are we building a house or a Nova? lol

 

a nova. the house got in the way. lol

 

You could always turbocharge the house.....

 

yeah I gotta add an interchiller to my house if this global warming **** keeps up

 

Fake news

 

yes just wait a couple months and that global warming shows up here in Michigan.

 

well intercooler, radiator, aem wideband ordered.

picked up a aem 400. and a set of bosch 210 injectors as well. . pick when they arrive.

 

What intercooler did you go with? You ever seen anyone route over the rad with stock placement in one of the verticals?

Check it. He used one similar to what you’re taking about.

I used a treadstone, but it’s a side inlet/outlet vertical flow.

Fits well.
