A little update on my turbo Nova, changed the wastegate to a 60mm HKS knockoff , works great rock steady boost pressure.I run 7 psi as "everyday" boost, more that fast enough . Other than that i have been cruising it in the nice summer weather.I attended the 4 July Midnight cruising here in Norway, alot of American cars there. I think i can safely say i was the only turbo inliner there. I had the car loaded with 4 pepole and it was pretty fun pulling some of the V8 guys with their new "crate" engines, they are like WTF was that????

Look at the super duper defroster in the rear screen, has been there since the car was new.

Not really any new updates, just been driving it through the summer. As to the Mitsubishi alternator i made up brackets for it and bolted it on . I use those alternators on all my old cars , works great and are small and light.

Hello! I managed to find some time to put the Nova on the rollers at work. Mainly to do some fine tuning on part load and transition. The dyno is a Mustang brand with a eddy brake. It made 380whp at 5070rpms and torque was 412wlb, this is at 16psi in the manifold.The pulls where done in 3rd gear.
I know you guys like dyno stuff and videos, so here you are.

Just noticed that some of the pictures in this tread is gone, so i am putting them up again. I am also working on a new engine for the ChevyII going to use a Precision 78GTS turbo will try for 1000hp on the flywheel, will post some pics and info on that engine as i get a little further along with it.

Specs are 250cui,TRW forged pistons, 1.94-1.6 valves boss still there, head somewhat ported , Crane 204-216@50 112LSA,comp 8,5:1, TB size around 65mm, Turbonetics T76 Q-trim, HKS 60mm gate, 120lb injectors, Accel DFI.
Boost usually 7-16 Psi. Nothing happened to this engine... yet LOL. Trying to get a intercooler on it during the winter, and i am going to really push it hard when the season begins. Would be cool to see over 500rwhp on a somewhat stockish engine.

Very impressive power! I like the setup. Have you ever taken it to a track or gotten performance #'s for acceleration?

No , can't do that. That would be holding back alot of tq, too hard on my little ole 700r4, which I am surprised has lasted this long. Tom

I think my Sy is a lot harder on a 700 R4,AWD,3600 lb truck w/ no driver. Last time dynoed it made 386 HP & 550 ft lbs of torque. That is why guys w/there modded Syclones & Typhoons switch to a 4L80E,then they can beat the crap out of them & not have any tranny problems.
I can launch @ 5,10,15,or 20 PSi w/the stock 2100 stall converter,would be a lot easyier if I had a 2600-2800 stall, not overheat & still lock-up the converter for decent gas mileage.
I recommend a TCI unit from rusty in AZ,billet cover 9" w/an 11" lock-up disc. I would like to get one,but no extra $$$.
I think I have been lucky w/my 700,I think @ the power level it has, the tranny should let go.
Generally, I do not launch above 10-15 PSI, but you need to be able to boost launch your vehicle if you want to run any good 60 ft time or 1/4 mile time. Last 60 ft time was 1.68

Can someone educate me about something please?
On the passenger side of this engine there is an aluminum canister with a breather on it. It has hoses plumbed to it from the front and rear of the valve cover. It seems to be there to collect oil, but why?
Thanks: Paul...aka Xerxes

Right - something has to drive it, it needs brackets and adjusters, plumbing to a masked source, and $$$. A JY smog pump is a help, but not big enough. I like to design in as much "passive" stuff (no or few simple moving parts, tuning is done by size and path routing) for oil control and pressure management as I can. A can for breather expansion can be improved a bit, but it's not easy. 1. the holes from the valve cover should be as big as possible to kill velocity. 2. crankcase pressure reaches the head through the pushrod drains, and they're not as big as I'd like (plus, the vapor carries the oil back up with it), which is why some plumb a big hose or pipe from the tappet cover or the side of the oil pan, or timing cover directly to an expansion tank. 3. if you have an electric fuel pump, the pump hole can be a pressure take-off. 4. if you still have oil spray at the last breather opening, make the pipe supplying it vertical, as tall and large ID as possible (before hood clearance).
