intakes finished up... onto the exh mani

VERY,VERY, NICE.:thumbsup: Awesome fabrication.:thumbsup: Scott

Good looking intake. Have you said anything about the fuel management system?

Coolwelder, thanks! Im trying to get it figured out :D

The car will use a factory GM pcm and harness that i have modified. Fuel system will be a walbro 255 and a set of RC 720cc injectors. Tuning will be handled via HP Tuners

Blake

It came out great.

[QUOTE=417 Motorsports;336749]Coolwelder, thanks! Im trying to get it figured out :D


I know this is kind of off subject but did you have to re-drill the BMW wheels to fit the Nova? I have a set off my 740i and .........well you get the idea lol!

You can either say screw it and bolt them to a 5 x 4.75" pattern and not worry about the small amount of difference between the patterns or you can do like I did and get adapters made. They have a 5 x 120mm pattern. I wasn't interested in chancing the issue and just bolting the wheels onto my TA so I had the adapters made.



The intake looks great. I'm anxious to see your exhaust work.

Cool thanks for the feed back!! Where did you get the adapters from?

you're welcome. http://www.motorsport-tech.com/

God Dam... I love this project.... :hail:

I thought swapping a 2.0 into an 90's Beretta was unique... nope!

Can't wait to see the #s it puts down.

Thanks again!!

Very Cool. Subscibed

Blake,

Do you have any updates for us??!!??

This is a great project, Ive had some wagons for people haulers before. I like the ecotec idea alot.

That is way cool
 

I really like it. I really like the unusual combo of two nice pieces.

I have been watching this build on Steve's Nova site. Killer build!!:cheering:

Any updates??

Thanks for looking!!

Blake

Blake,Looks awesome.Frt. sub frame turned out great.:thumbsup:

dude, where has this build been? 3 things-

1) I love that it's a 4 door, i gotta find me one
2) I love that you used an ecotec
3) Most importantly, I love that you put a turbo on it. :cheers:

Never seen this build .............Totaly cool :thumbsup:

Thanks!

thank you for the update to this! love this car

great work and especially on those ctsv calipers :thumbsup:

Blake what did you use for the lower ball joint pocket and joint for the c5/6 knuckles. Can you post part # s I am thinking of building a set of lca for my camaro to narrow up the track width a bit. Nova looks awesome. And fab work is top notch. Thanks for you help. Ed Nash

I machined the female upper ball joint cups and also the lower ball joint sleeves, as for the ball joints themselves I have the lower ball joint number and will message it to you.

Thank-you very much. Ed Nash

What size rotors are you running on the front? I might be interested in your steering arm/caliper mount if they will work with a 13" rotor. Thanks

Bad Ass
 

Dude this thing is gonna be sooooo bad ass when finished:thumbsup: Keep the updates coming:cheers:

well well well what do we have here :D
