Nice to see some of you guys care to come clean. I really want to help the ones that are not so fortunate, but if you guys don't want to take heed to the advice given by CA members including your moderators, then you should only be upset with yourself and not bad-mouth the CA18DET engine. My personal 240sx with CA runs just fine. It's contents include, but not limited to: (remember that this is only one of my cars)
1. CA18DET engine bored .020 over
2. New oil pump
3. New piston rings
4. New bearings
5. New seals
6. JUN camshafts
7. Heavy Duty 300zx TT valve springs (not stock)
8. 750cc injectors
9. Butterfly valve removal
10. Custom exhaust manifold
11. HKS 40mm wastegate
12. GT35R dual ball bearing (Chinese Spec
) with nearly 2500miles on the turbo and refreshened engine (what a turbo)
13. 13 lb. flywheel
14. Custom clutch house clutch
15. Custom 3inch intercooler piping
16. Greddy Type R BOV (simply the best IMHO)
17. Ebay intercooler
18. S13 Silvia conversion
19. Custom 3inch down pipe that feeds a very quiet HKS catback exhaust.
20. SDS (Simple Digital System) EM-3 standalone
21. MSD DIS-2 ignition system
22. MSD 8.5mm wires
23. Blitz dual SBC boost controller
24. Blitz turbo timer
25. Digital oil pressure gauge
26. Digital boost/vacuum gauge
27. Functioning air conditioner
28. Functioning power steering
29. Functioning 300zx complete brakes swap
30. Aluminum radiator
31. Aftermarket hoses
32. 255lph fuel pump
33. KYB AGX with Tein green springs (Very tamed, but fun ride with this set-up)
34. Rear strut tower brace
35. J30 diff with axles
The car's boost is set at 17psi daily and can be changed on the fly between ch.2= 21psi, ch.3= 25psi and ch.4= 31psi and all can be ran on the 93 pump fuel and this is no joke; just the way I tune. I know I don't post a lot of pics, let alone videos, but this season things will be different. My focus is simple folks:
Reliable power.
