1000HP..... for real or total BS??

[Rkoltun007]

Some Guy at the strip last week had a CA18DET that he claimed had 1000HP, is he for real or just full of BS??

[themadscientist]

there has NEVER been a CA18 with 1000hp. He is so full of **** he should be put to sleep for the crime of existing on the same planet with the rest of us. Next time you are at the track take $1000 dollars with you and bet him a dollar for ever horse he comes up short on the dyno. You will go home with likely $1650 in your pocket.

Thats what i tought, my old Mustand destroyed him, but i wasnt sure.i Just got my CA18DET a few weeks ago, i always wanted a 240, and this one was a steal so i got it, the guy didnt know what id had or anything, so i got it and ta-da, it had a CA. im still learning all the stuff out about it, so far i got a bigger ball beaing turbo, and front mount inter cooler system,

but i wanna go ALL OUT!, so what could i put in here, and what range would be the most HP i could get??

[themadscientist]

300 is above average, 400-500 is very good. There are CAs in the 600 neighborhood but they are very serious builds. lots of money and skill and probably not the best choice for getting to work in the morning.

[Rkoltun007]

well what im probably gonna do is, pull another CA out of a pulsar?? or something, and just build it up, and swap them out later, im not really in a hurry.

and what major TECH problems do they have normally, so i know what to look forleaks? turbo failure? etc....

[themadscientist]

Use the motor that is in the car for the build, the pulsar one is not as good without modding the block.

[Rkoltun007]

if i put the pulsar in mine, it run fine??

and what all am i gonna need to get 500+ hp out of this motor

i know the basics, but the rest

im used to american muscle... so this is ALL so new.

[r34 gtr]

Rods, forged pistons, metal head gasket, seriously strong fasteners, huge fuel injectors, cams, a large turbo, some engine management, and you should be set.

[Rkoltun007]

can i buy all that?

or am i gonna need custom order rods and what not?

[driftin8ez]

everything can still be found without having to order custom stuff. You just have to know where to look.

[Rkoltun007]

like....??

[driftin8ez]

Never said I knew, just saying I know parts are still out there.

[tnslide80]

on 180sxfaktory.com they give a history spill on the ca and say back in the day jap. drag racers got over the g mark all the time...but ive never seen or heard of one....

[themadscientist]

That is complete and total bull****. There has never been a 1000hp CA and that is why you never heard of one. Don't perpetuate myths like that.

[tnslide80]

yeah i agree with the total bs but i can see where people could get that from with info on the web like that.....wishful thinking though...

[themadscientist]

by you repeating it silly TMS had a four way with Eva Mendez, Zhang Ziyi and Sophie Marceau. There, get that rumor going!
