CA18 & motorsports (+ some other Q's)

Hiya fellas. I'm a NICO virgin, so take it easy on me.

Anyway, I drive a '92 RMS13. So far I've done J30 VLSD and JIC coilovers, and now I'm looking to replace the 181k mile rattlesnake KA with a CA.

Well, my main thing is autocross and drift, I'm just wondering if any of you do either of those two with your CA powered cars, and what you think.

I have kind of a unique exhaust. Its a 2.75" Kakimoto. Think this will work well with a CA? I was thinking about replacing the stock turbo with the S15 T28 BB btw...

Also, has anyone here gotten their A/C to work with a CA? I know, I know, but I have a black car in a city where temperatures of 120 degrees are not uncommon...

Hi,

The 2.75 exhaust may become a bit of a restriction if your going to go for huge power, generally a 3" straight through is favoured for big bhp, I made a 3" downpipe to my HKS Hiper muffler and it workd a treat.

Thinking about it with the S15 turbo you will be limited to about 310-320bhp so the exhaust maybe o.k. for that.

isn't that kakimoto exhaust LOUD?? i know a guy that got a Type R Integra out of japan with one IIRC and it was LOUD, so loud he had to take it out.

its JASMA certified. Its as quiet as my stock exhaust until like 4500rpm
