CA/HX35 compatability. (searched)

[PapaBurgundy]

Before anyone tells me its too big or to get a t28, the reason I'm asking is that I can get an hx40 cheaper than any bolt on garrett, throw it on my cummins, and put the hx35 from that on my ca and have bigger turbos on both my vehicles for the price of one and a exhuast mani. As the 240 is no longer my DD I dont really care about driveability or bottom end lag. And I'd much rather have an oversized turbo running lower boost than a smaller (t28/t28g) turbo pushed to the max. And I know it will need to be tuned but thats not a big deal. So I guess what I'm asking for is feedback from people who've done it more than hearing the cons from poeple who havent, ah screw it I guess I'll take whatever info I can get. Thanks, Anthony.

What hotparts do you have to mount the HX35 to your CA?

[ca18detgabby]

it has been done. yes you can do it.

search some more you will find it.

gimmie a sec I will find the thread(s)

The turbine side of a turbo for a cummins diesel is going to be waaaaay too big for a 1.8L motor.

[dash]

dunno man.... one of the 1st 400hp stock CA18s I recall seeing, ran a H1C holsetYou'd 'think' they would be too big for a 2L dohc or 2.3/2.6L sohc also, but there

r some excellent performing street samples out there with HX & HY35s

speaking of inexpensive turbos, a few fine performing CA18s on oz/nz forums run the

popular ebay T-70.A toyota 1.6L street car also runs ebay T-70 with an upgraded compressor wheel, put

out 550+ hp on a stock supercharged bottom end, 35psi

Idk about anyone else, but im cheap.... but Im not ebaying a turbo. Some people have had luck with them, but I dont think so.

Ive contemplated holset turbos and IF I upgrade I think it would be my first choice.

they are parting out a semi at my Grandpa's business right now.... I may borrow one of the snails off that

HX35 Ca18det

Quote from iXer Super Moderator: "He used Nissan Sunny GTi cams and a HX35 with 16 cm² turbine housing. With only 0.3 bar boost it has more get-up-and-go than a BPU-enhanced S13 @ 1 bar. The boost threshold seems to be at 2500-3000 rpm, and can be improved upon as he had no boost control. It's put into storage for the winter now so I don't have any more data on it."

Personally i don't like anything lower than a 35 :P

heres more info on it i Believe... don't quote me on that http://www.vems.hu/wiki/index....issan

Engine specification

* Nissan CA18DET, 1.8 litre 4 cyl * Custom exhaust manifold * Custom intake manifold * H-beam rods and Wiseco pistons * Upgraded oil cooling system * Turbo is Holset HX35, 54/60 in/out * 440 cc low-Z injectors * Stock COP ignition system * Uses 24-1 trigger wheel as described here : VehicleFitment/Nissan

We have our first CA18DET running on the 24+1 trigger disk, with very goode results:



The owner reported back from his first track test that the engine was strong and responsive throughout the rev range.

We have used the standard wiring loom, COPs etc via the use of a harness adaptor:

my friend actually is putting a Holset on his 3800 Camaro, and i've seen people online make good power with the Holsets on engines like the CA to the RB i believe. They are good stuff. A+ for them.

and those manifolds are crazy looking as hell lol i like it

while 35s proven as great street turbos, dunno about a 16cm hot side making ~300 ft-lbs tq to the tires @ 4000rpm from a 1.8L

...and 392whp on 440cc injectors (what fuel pressure?) ?

[float_6969]

That pull was done in 3rd gear. Those numbers are going to be falsely high.

[PapaBurgundy]

I was wondering what kind of manifolds people use or if they just fab there own? Since my turbo is a t3 flange internally wastegated one I was planning on using the topmount ssauto manifold and cutting off the wastegate flange.The rest of my plan was to retune my mines ecu for a z32 maf and dsm 450's and run no more than 12-13 psi. Any reason that couldnt work on stock internals and the normal bolt ons? (intake,exhaust,fmic etc.)

[BQ.05.TD]

thats could quite be the worst external gate set up i have ever seen. wow

The motor should be fine as long as it's in good condition right now.

Yea, I liked the flex on the outlet, LMAO!

Ouch! I just paid close attention and I agree, but again, to each his own.

[PapaBurgundy]

Yeah the motor is rebuilt to brand new stock specs with all O.E bearings and gaskets and such with maybe 50 miles since rebuilt. Not to change the subject but anyone know the specs for the mines tuned ecus? I bought one because I needed an ecu, but now I'm curious as to what its tuned for.
