I had a thread earlier with a pic of the headwork performed thus far, unfortunately the goal posts were moved with the valvetrain and I have no more new photos, but rest assured my garage is filled with gear to assemble, apart from the motor which is still being engineered...

Only a selected few have known about this build for several months, I have had a lot of help from a mate who has been fantastic to bounce ideas off, to provide technical advice and even source some crucial parts from Japan, lots of kudos his way

I know the calculated hp but only based on ca valves (no-one would believe me if I post it), I also know the current head flow rating (again on the ca valves) but I should have it on the rollers in the next 5-6 weeks for the real "down to business" end of the scale..

I am not after kudos, I just want to share what I have accomplished so far, I will provide more pictures as I am assembling it all together...

I'm not to familar with what these processes are can you shed some light on them. Also you said you moved your injectors to the underside of the plenum. Do you have pics of there placement and what you did to the stock injector locations?

Cheers

EDIT: What are the specs on the cams you are running?

Block has been thouroughly prepared, grout filling is to stop bore flex (strengthening the block)..

No pics of anything else so far, I cannot take full credit for the clampless fittings process as I had help, however I am also keeping that process under wraps.. until its all completed..

I am happy to provide more info once everything is complete to help the broader CA community, but I also need to be a little selfish first

Cheers

tease........ you know you can share more

way to show it up for the ca family ....... kinda anyways

Who gets rid of their CA's? People who suck, thats who.

Dual valve spring..

RB25 exhaust valve is on the left.. (CA on right)

On the inlet its not very clear, RB on left is +1mm..

Solid Lifter..

Titanium Retainer (Although I think its a little bling more than anything)..

All up the entire valve train will only weigh 2168 grams (not inlcuding valve guides, cams or shims) I will need to weigh the stock setup..

Cheers

It's not that I think he's retarded. It's that I was the one that gave him his gold medal at the special olympics. I KNOW tim is retarded. I hope I never meet him in real life actually. I'm like 6'2" 185lbs. Tim is prob like 6'7" 300lbs and eats live baby sheep for snacks during the day.

What size AN are these?

The build consists of multiple dash fittings from dash 3 right up to dash 12 for a variety of cooling, brake, powersteering, fuel and oil lines..

heheh and baller was a humourous spin on the build itself

dare i ask....how are u gonna use the RB valve....boring?

what was cost... cuz im getting close to my 5k goal for my rebuild

but i dont know if i should wait till the motor blows

SoOn tO cOmE : honestly, i just dont know anymore

The extra surface area of the exhaust valve head interested me the most as it will increase the efficiency of the exhaust flow (with ca valves it was 83% efficiency at peak flow)... but yeah boring will be required...

I didn't grasp the size of the MSD Coils until they arrived, they are insanely big...

Im collecting parts myself at the moment but nothing compared to you.

Keep the pics coming!

The only thing i see to watch out for is the ajusa gaskets. I just did a valve job on mine with the ajusa gaskets and fitment wasnt that good on the intake gaskets for example. I should've gone with felpro.

Pass the lube!!

I actually bought a gen nissan intake mani gasket, but its going to need modification...

Greg

It is also an eight port head, not a four port... its just had a lot of material removed..

Cheers

Who's selling their CA18 next ?

Forged pistons are no insurance for ignorance .

Spending money foolishly doesn't equate to a high hp car .

Being cheap all the time equates to a waste of time

Dee

remember that solid lifter head you were sposed to score.........lol

LOL

AAAHAHAHAHAHA!

aah sorry bout that mate, had to get that outta my system.

Dee

The motor should be ready to assemble within 2 weeks, the cams should be with my engineer next week..

The duration is not as agressive as first thought, however the lift is a little more agressive...

I am awaiting the last of my items and there will be some adhoc bits n pieces that will need ordering I am sure... mostly the odd dash fitting that I havent taken into account, considering I now have well over 100 fittings lol

OS Giken twin plate clutch has been sourced, the extreme setup I had would have been ripped to shreds..

I will run the manual box until it fails (I am hoping to get at least a couple of runs out of it) then I will modify a decent auto to suit...

Cheers..

Although pulled apart for checking the OS Giken twin plate...

Thirsty buggers these - 1000cc Sards...

To give an idea of the scope of some of the relibility factors I have taken into consideration

This is all fuel delivery hardware..

This is the cooling hardware + pcv and catch tank hardware..

Although it doesnt look like a great deal, I have no need for 1/2 of the turbo water lines, I have redesigned the system to suit..

These are the various sized braided hose...

These are the 3/8" alum lines and another braided hose size...

This is the powersteering and brake lines + fittings (except the two das 12 tee flares, thats for the cooling)...

And this is our dog... no real modification necessary, although it would be better if he didnt snore..

Countdown is two weeks until assembly...

and OMG!your puppy is so cute!

this build looks sick, what are you aiming for numbers?
