chevrolet Nova 6.5 turbo diesel detroit

[turtlezed]

This must be Holland

[BuBoNiCcHrOnIc91]

what kind of MPGs do you see in this

[Mapleleafpete]

Must have been quit the wiring nite mare,how you get the ecm all hooked up? Would have been nice to actually see the motor in the car,lol.

[kenfo0]

what mileage are you getting. throw some nitrous on that thing!

[SCBianchi]

BTW I am a Small Block Chevy guy through and through and this car is so dope because it DOESNT have a SBC or even a BBC! This, folks, is a very cool car.

[SCBianchi]

The Klan makes forced induction? Not sure I would support them, but if it makes good boost...

[scottsdale500]

shit the car rattels and makes more noise than a truck

[WARD5KUSTOMZ]

is diesel cheaper that petrol?

[B04rD3r4LiFe]

No, its about the same price wise. Most diesel engines get better fuel economy than their gas counterparts.

[WARD5KUSTOMZ]

was asking cause i was wanting to know what the fuel price was out of america

[B04rD3r4LiFe]

O it's about $3.00 a gallon.

[v8power200]

and it sounds good too

[dd4119]

Yeah here in America Petrol is more expensive because back in the day oil companies found out that Diesel is more fuel efficient and overall a better fuel and so everyone was buying diesel. In europe tho diesel is cheaper. I wish i had diesel in my car. My '06 Chevy Imapala 3.5 V6 gets 340miles on a full tank. The new Clean Diesel Jetta gets 600miles.

[WARD5KUSTOMZ]

ye i hear ya. i been thinkin about finding a lightweight diesel engine to put in my 86 f150. but it gona be hard cause it cant be heavier than a 351W

[kenfo0]

@dd4119 i can't figure out wtf your comment was supposed to be about. Are you an American?

[tpvalley]

I reckon u could mount that intercooler up front or get one from scrapyard, just need some pipes and hoses, can be pricey though, but some use metal exhaust pipe and rubber hoses.

main thing is to use special wide hose clips.

[Steve340]

That wild man, those turbo diesels can really go, sounds weird as hell hearing this though LOL

[alscort93]

Why? And a Sick 5 of all things. To each his own I guess.

[andrewirobinson]

I drive me Dads fiat Multipla 1.9jtd and that make the same supenny knocks. Im not worried really. When i Get a landy 90 im easy puttin a 6.5 turbo in it! smoke some impreza's off the line in a machine that weighs 1.6 tonnes!

[1ns4ne1d10t]

ain't nuthin wrong with JTD's i used to have a black Fiat bravo JTD 100HLX I got up to a good 41+Bhp out of an ECU map becuase of the high milage on it and added the K&N kit to the engine which only added 25+Bhp. The funny thing is, it still said 100 on the wing so Golf GTTDi drivers would think its still only 100hp and get thier asses totally kicked by a Fiat lol

[larry84988]

That's really cool!!! What mpg do you get? Also, is this out of the US, it looks like Europe.

[66Beanshit]

Awesome job! And that's from a GM (Garbage Mobile) hater! Where is this, btw? Looks like Europe from the road signs and narrow roads...

[timmie426]

Holland.

[BigChief427]

What the hell is all that rattling and knocking? Rough road, or is something broken? Sounds like a busted rearend or something. Nice car though.

[Mattster2k6]

Its called a diesel engine.

[BigChief427]

NO, SHIT, HUH. LOL, just playing. Thats not what I'm talking about. I drive diesels all the time so I know the sound. What I meant was the all the rattling sounds coming from the underside of the car. Sounds like some bad bushings maybe? I don't know. May just be me. It is an old car, probably rattles naturally. I had a 66 nova that squeaked and rattled all the time. Just part of owning an old car.

[Mattster2k6]

I realized what you were talking about when I listened to it a 3rd time after posting and smacked myself in the head.

[BigChief427]

LOLOL, don't sweat it man, it's all good. On a serious note, it's scary how people in the USA can't tell that their cars are in need of some work. My GF asked me the other night why her check engine light wouldn't go out. CAUSE IT'S NOT SUPPOSE TO YOU DORK! GET IT FIXED! True story.

[Mattster2k6]

My sister is like that, she gave me a ride in her 96 Sentra once and the engine light was on and she was like its always on. And the transmission on that thing is slipping. I changed the oil for her and there was like 1/3 quart of oil in the entire engine. And everyone wonders why I hate letting people borrow my Cummins, I love it to much to let someone damage it.

[xzachx2112]

LOL my friends Mercedes always has the check engine light on... their solution, piece of electrical tape over the light. dumbass

[bigkofjustice]

Are you using the 4L80e HD version with the upgraded Valve body for medium duty trucks? Most of the GM trucks and the HMMWV/H1 shipped with that version of the 4L80e to handle the torque.

[castirondude]

where is this? Looks like friesland or groningen.

[castirondude]

Those 6.5's have that unmistakable sound to them, you can tell them apart from miles away.

You could probably use heavier gears, those 6.5's are normally used in big 1 ton trucks. It will go faster easier because you can make the torque work instead of rpm. I would aim for 1800 rpm on the freeway in overdrive. That's just enough to make the turbo produce some boost.

The nova's have soft suspension, that's normal. Nothing wrong with comfort!

[tcm8843]

Great rig! Seems kind of under-geared.

[tpvalley]

Is it swaying left to right as u drive along, or am I going insane?

Get someone to hold camera so u can do a driveby please, that would be cool, I love this car!

[tpvalley]

I love this car!

[Meadows783]

nice

[BessieMorrison]

Very Nice. At idle it sounds like a big rig. When it revs, its diesel v8. Best of both worlds....

[Microillusions]

what a beast, can hear the turbo spooling up. sounds great.
