Twin Turbo Big Block Nova Shake Down #turbo #street - Auta a dopravní prostředky
My first button is on the left too. Personal preference. Bad ass car
Great video!! Intro was awesome, well put together. Enjoyed this one from start to finish!
Gorgeous old Nova!
Bad ass little nova sounds good and seems to run good
Man that nova is a sexy unit!
Nice shake down with pertinent details.
Such a sick ass build! 🫡🫡
APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great video enjoyed the content
Badass!
Beautiful nova
Nick always looking good. Mis you bro.
Bad Ass Car. Love it.
Super sick
Paint color rocks! 👍
This thing sounds so damn rowdy and looks bitchin too .. 😗😗😗
Bad Ass🏁💪🏁💪🏁💪
I just sent your video to my son's engine builder and told him I'm jumping at the bit let's get going
Nice color
Sounds like that car is suffering from noisy wiring...When you put the battery in the trunk and you dont ground the battery to the frame and ground the engine to the frame also if the relays and starter solenoids arent diode suppressed flyback will take its toll on the sensors etc and it shows......You should do a vid of the fuel injectors power wire being power checked while cranking and running against what the battery shows.....Ill bet theres atleast a 4 volt difference and the low running temps reflect on that too.............
For it to be MINE....
Awesome car,but the best part its the flag on the wall 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 PR🔥💪🏿
Also, I’m just here to show off my badge
Whoa where did that thing come from lol
Put a 10 micron fuel filter on. And verify crank sensor gap
Crank signal is fine. Like I wrote in the video, it’s is a limiter…not breakup due to losing sync. The ecu is activating a limiter that should be impossible to be independently activated. It shows in the log clear as day but there is no explanation as to why. We have seen this behavior in the past…corrupt file was randomly engaging transbrake for single frames. Short or corrupt file is where we are leaning. I’ve created a new cal from scratch, Will be testing later 👍🏼
Turbos are nice, but pro chargers are much better and deliver better results
You sure the mech pump alone can handle the sustained volume for full throttle 1/4 because if it falls behind and the mixture goes lean and burns a hole in the head your buddy wont be happy
Yes, as I mentioned, the mechanical pump alone is enough.
So is it okay to use an aluminum tank as long as you drain it at the end of a race day or race weekend and put pump gas in it?
Sure. You can stretch out the time really long on it that way. Just think of it as any time you have methanol/ethanol in the tank it’s reacting, the more humidity in the air during that time the faster it reacts, so the less time you have it in there the longer it will take before you start seeing the impact and getting noticeable debris.
@@SlowerThanUc wat is hp to n it
1100 is pretty good. Almost as much as Liam use to make.
Oh hi. Didn’t think you came around these parts. And you are right lol Liam made 1180, but that was at 27lbs and max effort and rpm. This was 9lbs with like 1500rpm left to go lol. It’s got big boi capability lol.
Hey guys I'm sorry but I gotta be honest with you I'm not real sure how well the Radiator is going to work out in the configuration my brutha but hey maybe I'm wrong ...But then what kind of Real "Motorhead Car guy drag racer has Methanol running thru aluminum Fuel cell wouldn't a dual fuel system have worked out if this car guy was going to be messing around with Multi fuel ..
PTSFab didn’t build this car. It has been together for years so I assume it works well. But we havnt tested it on long drives ourselves yet. other things we “assumed”about this car’s condition/capability have not panned out great so Nick may end up working out something new of it fails lol. We will see!
She's bad
7:17 dude tell me that is a 4th gen Civic back there with the fiberglass front end!!
Yep. J series turbo we are putting on holley soon 👍🏼
@@SlowerThanU holy sh*t y'all do foreign too?! I have one just like it, been holding on to it for 22 years. I need some power baby!!😂😂
@@SlowerThanU how in the world does a V6 fit in that tight engine bay though? I curse like a sailor just working around the original D series 😂😂😂
Yeah it’s pretty snug but it fits lol
@@SlowerThanU can you guys do a H22 swap for me? Money is no issue.
so tell me ...whats the economy like on a good run ......🤣
0.0625g/mi 😜
😂@@SlowerThanU better than i thought ......beautiful machine buddy
Nunber one change: get away from ethanol.. Alcohol is a pain in the butt. Number 2 change: go back to the simplicity and reliability of carburetors. Injectors can be problematic...
Alcohol is not a pain in the ass if done properly lol. You can’t take a system meant for gas and assume it will do well with a completely different fuel. Tank needs to be hard anodized on the inside or plastic, if you are going to store it just fill it up and seal the tank by using a caps on the return. It’s really as easy as that. No more aluminum reaction, no more fuel system debris.
And you just said to go back to carb so I can no longer take you seriously lol. That’s just silly. Fuel injection is not a problem lol, THIS fuel injection system was a problem. But this problem can be fixed.
@@SlowerThanU Talk to Steve Morris about injectors on his engine and others, and If fuel injection is not a problem, then why have you been hired to try and fix it? If you want to deal with the corrosive nature of Alcohol, thats up to you. There's a reason why racers tend to stay away from it, "silly"
@@kevins5833 racers stay away from it? From what? Alcohol? Oh no sir. Get in out there more man, because 99% of non nitrous cars that race at the level of this car are methanol. I don’t think I need to speak to Steve Morris but I have a feeling if I did he would agree with something a lot closer to what I am saying than he would with “gasoline and carburetor all the things” lol. What I am trying to say is that when a fuel system is meant for alcohol, the level of maintenance required is almost no different than a gas motor. Alcohol reacts with aluminum yes but there are lots of things it DOESNT react with…so blaming alcohol is like blaming an acid when you pour it in your hands…you know it will react so why would you put it in your hands without wearing proper gloves? And we know it absorbs lots of water so why would we leave the system unsealed in a humid place for months at a time…you can’t treat it incorrectly and then get angry at the fuel lol.
As for this car in particular, I was hired to fix this vehicle because it was it ran like garbage because it has a fuel system that is not meant for alcohol and was stored improperly for months. Something that would have done the same thing to a carburetor system. Zero difference in result there. Efi gives us the ability to instantly change fuels for a street car that needs to be capable of running on three different fuel at the push of a button. It allows me to be more efficient with fuel mileage on all three fuels. Just two major benefits of THIS car to be efi instead of carburetor. Carburetors have their place, I am not saying they suck in general, but it’s is not a solution by any means for anything we are doing with this car, at all 🤷🏻♂️. Not even a little. but it could be on a future car. Maybe even mechanical injection. Everything has its moment to shine.
Alcohol is THE fuel of choice for a serious drag car. The pro's far outway the con's... Where is you're information coming from, a cereal box?
This is actually hilarious 🤣
This car is Amazing. I’ve just subscribed to you. Keep the content coming
Thanks 👍🏼
Come on bubba that car is not even ready to run now you got it on a Dino and shit's falling out from underneath it fuel water don't know what it is I bet you I got it brains that's some funny shit right there LOL
Lol ok dude. I would say quit while you’re ahead but you’re already so far behind at this point. thanks for the views, keep ‘em comin LOL.
Hey you ought to go back and look at all the paperwork and the picture that you guys got on the big Nova that don't run the pumps are running on Parallel just thought you might want to know
You ought to go back and read the word that says parallel when when I said otherwise.
And the nova does run. Did you even watch the video?
Time to watch something else when you guys figured it out and you get all the adjustments made and all that bullshit and your arm gets tired of flapping around pointing at this and pointing in that I might watch it again to see what happens but other than that I am not impressed I got junkyard Motors the sit right here in my shop waiting to get the next one built that start idle and run better than the one that you got all that money in so have a nice day boys I'd be embarrassed
Typical ignorant CZcams consumer. Neato. I hope your life gets better man.
@@bigboreracing356 yep. Although I think the heads were refreshed before it got to the new owner but the fuel and electrical systems need Jesus still lol.
The tps was shorting out, the electric pump stopped working all together, there were NO fuel filters at all in the system post pump (a filter housing was there but no filter element inside it….) so everything in the system has been going straight to the injectors. It runs well for about 3 days and then just clogs them right up again and they have to be cleaned.
There is also an electrical gremlin and we found out the previous owner and tuner were aware of it lol. On their recent track outings it was doing the same random limiter we were experiencing on the dyno. I don’t think the owner was told of that issue before he bought it so it took all of us by surprise.
It’s a proven platform but needs some love to the fuel and electrical system to be great again.
What this guy doesn’t and won’t ever understand is how far in the wrong direction troubleshooting can take you when you are under the false impression that the vehicle is supposed to be in perfect working order.
Meanwhile, even with all these issues, it still makes 1250hp on only 9lbs at way less rpm than it normally uses. The car will be a monster again after some more TLC.
And this guy will still be angry at life when that happens so he will still bitch about stupid shit 🤷🏻♂️
@@bigboreracing356 havnt tried it again since the dyno session in the video. By the following weekend the injectors were trashed again. So we stopped until Nick can resolve that.
6900 for us on the dyno.
Previous owner I believe experienced it at a slightly higher rpm at the track. It’s a silly gremlin. We will track it down 👍🏼
