Damn those look sweet! Although an NA CA would be really cool and overall great engine, its not going to be cheap. Very nice set though!

Wish i had the spare $400.00 lying around...

Well if it helps this guy sell his pistons I know where there is a CA18DE tubular header.

Dang, wish I had the cash too. Still have my like new DE up on a stand. Correct me if I'm wrong but those would require new rods with bushed pin ends. Aren't the stock DE rods press fit?

DE tubular manifold/header? Anyone got one they want to part with?

I would feel bad using those without a tubular manifold and some ITB's. I still really want them though.

look for this 圧縮比 followed by an integer, 11.0 for example.

I really want to boost the hell out of an engine with those things in there. Run some 130 octane fuel and only drive it on cold days with a 10:1 afr. It would make for quite the disgustingly fast little engine.

That would be like spinning a hand grenade on your finger by the pin.

I'll bet those pistons are in the 10.5-12:1 CR range. Nothing a little 113 octane ethanol wouldn't fix...

I really think it would be fun as hell to have those in there with some boost. granted i would have to run very little timing, meth/water injection, and c18 or something, but if/when the 240 gets retired from daily driver duty those things could really see some use. You arent very far from me, want a whole ton of turbo ca18 parts instead of those pistons? let mah know.

maybe I could just run it on straight methanol? my fuel system can handle it, and so can the ems. on the other hand, this could just be too ridiculous. I am game to try though, if for no other reason than to say i did it.

check all over the box and any paperwork you have. Compression ratio looks like this in japanese 圧縮比

I can't read the charachters on this computer but the few google hits I got look to be 11.5:1

I sent the HKS office in mainland an e-mail. I don't expect a response but what the hell?
