no stealth look, everybody can see the that the nova has 300 ++ horses

must be!!

Front looks brutal, engine bay is very very small and tight. but looks very good done, also the fuel setup is good worked out!!!

Looks like a top job

Only thing that is over the top IMO is the cooler,but you prob can't move it further back due to rad being moved forward to gain clearance for turbo??????

fair play mate clearly alot of work has gone into the motor and although i dont like its looks you cant argue that its a beast

knowing how well a nova goes with just a non turbo 2ltr 16v engine that must be the nuts
