once upon a time back in 2000 when me and team muppetsport built an xe nova we knew nothing. we learned

you learn as you go along. although you should start with basic knowledge...

but you cant build one if you dont know shoot

you learn loads building one yeah

you learn alot just owning a conversion car i'm sure ;)

yes you really really do need an intercooler on the std let.

low blow turbo engines like the old nissan bluebird things its not such a big deal

And you explained to me about the gearboxes! ive learnt today. Might be worth me bringin the corsa to you and leaving it with team muppetsport come the time rather than trying! :lol:

Do you need an intercooler on a standard let?

no, it was just a lucky guess

it proves you know more than me

that proves nothing, lol

muppetsport says:
dunno, never really looked for one to be honest. its exactly the same as fitting an xe engine wise, wiring is the same. just some of the water pipes are different and of course you have boost pipes. same engine as an xe so the basics are the same
Jammmmmmmmmes says:
what do boost pipes go to
muppetsport says:
from air flow meter to the turbo then turbo to the intercooler then intercooler to the inlet manifold
muppetsport says:
if you look at a pic of my eninge bay the red hoses (larger ones) are boost hoss

you can tell by your car :lol::o;)

i really dont know anything at all

muppetsport has been feeding me with know how all night but is still convinced he doesnt know anything :lol:

probably best getting some advice from the LET boyo's

Yeah cheers mate I seen that before, bit more involved in the let with boost pipes and what not, rather than going by haynes guides was wondering if there was a simpler explanation for the swap

this might help

Anyone know of any LET conversion guides for Nova or Corsa. Found this one, http://www.max-boost.co.uk/max-boost/resources_c20LET.htm on here but its for a mk2 Astra so maybe a tad different.
