A good friend of mine has recently started to build his nova turbo back up, the old spec was a stockish engine with a hybrid turbo which was approx 300hp, he used 100 shot of gas on the strip and ran a 11.9@124mph on 888's, that was a few years ago now and the car has taken a backseat whilst he enjoys his GTR but the GTR is now parked up and progress has been quite good on the nova so far.

I'll just post up a spec list and let the pics do the rest of the talking.
