Default Nova test runs video

I posted this in the forced induction area also. But no track times as of yet. Finally complete and running good. Runs were made from 2nd and 3rd gears.

Sweet setup. I love that body style of Novas. How much did the whole turbo/5.3 setup run you? Would the stock truck manifolds have worked/fit?

Im not sure if the truck manofolds would have worked or not. I have a set but never thought about it. I wanted to try and make my own and see how it went.


Turbo- GT45 new -----$750.
Tial BOV---------------$200.
Tial 44mm wastegate----$350.
Inovative WB------------$350.
Intercooler---------------$300. (for core only)
60# injectors-------------$400.
HP tuners + 2 bar---------$600.ish
V-band clamps------------$150.ish
Headers and all hot material
and flanges------------------$200.
cold side material, elbows, air filter--$200.

Fuel pump & lines & reg.----------$500.ish
Edelbrock intake and fuel rails-----$400.
Cam (used)-----------------------$200.
pushrods--------------------------$100.
Valve springs----------------------$200.
PCM-------------------------------$100.
6.0L heads (minus $100 for sale of 5.3 heads)---$200.
Complete engine & harness ----------$500 (LKQ on ebay)

about $5700. Estimates on some of it are rounded up.
I just copied and pasted this from another thread I had.

Holding back in those vids... The one where the camera was all over i was pedaling it in 2nd, it does get rather loose. The others were 3rd gear from about 40mph. Im anxious to see what 1st gear can do at the track. I havnt been really able to use it on the street. It gets loose most the way through 2nd with the 29 x 15.5 x 15 sportsman pros on the back. (which makes it not such a sleeper).

The camera work was not too bad, but some smokes would have made for some better watching.
