Fuck me what a nova. Didn't realise he got it featured before he split it. Nice one son

One thing i don't get tho - its a C20XE with a turbo, surely that makes it a LET doesn't it?? Excuse my ignorence but i don't understand.

if its a xe block, i would call it an xe turbo, as rick did iirc

anyway top car, and nice feature, allthough not nearly as detailed as i would have liked personally

One of the biggest spec sheets to grace that magazine and an absolute crap write up.

The write up just sort of goes like "right, this is this, this, this and this and he has done this, this and this" but doesn't go in to any real detail about what the certain things are. Plus why is it so far back in the bloody mag??

Really? I thought the only real difference between the XE and the LET was in the inlet/exhaust they used the same head/block just with lower comp' pistons and such.

there is another oil retun in the block iirc

and as it didnt use a let inlet etc it really shared very little let wise

might be an xe block, but then again uses LET TB. inlet, manifold etc, unlike ricks

Is this the new TV you guys are speaking about, i.e. the one that isn't in the shops yet?
