CA18's rule! Happy Holidays to you all...

[boost_boy]

Alright guys,

I know it's been a while, but I actually just picked up my intake manifold last week from getting polished (which has been there for 2.5 months now) and it's beautiful. I'll get the valve covers done and I will put the motor and transmission into my 1990 sentra. The car probably won't be operational till next year, but since it's a project, it's okay. Total cost to date nearly $8000. And to those who don't know what in the heck I'm talking about, the motor is a fully built (And I do mean fully) CA18DET that sports Pauter rods, ACL bearings, wiseco pistons (stock bore), ARP main studs, ARP head studs, JUN Cams = 272 duration 10.5mm lift, JUN solid lifters, JUN valve springs, adjustable cam gears, meticulously ported and polished head, 3 angle valve job, decked block, new oil pump, new water pump, custom intake manifold which will sport a 73mm throttle body, MSD 72lbs/hr injectors, T3/T04E 60-1 stage III, custom exhaust manifold, NISMO 1.2mm headgasket,Custom frankenstein gearboxCustom axles,Solid motor mounts (home made)300zx fuel pump,custom intercooler,Greddy Type R and blitz blowoff valvesHKS wastegate

The car will have a host of performance parts as well because this will be a one of a kind sentra. The SE-R owners only wish they had access to the knowledge I have and what we CA18 owners can make do with. I will be spinning this car betwen 1000 and 9700 rpm. I also have a set of cams 276 with an 11.5mm lift that I will be experimenting with as well before I build my stroker motor. Yes, I will be building a stroker motor and I got the hook-up on someone in the U.S. competent enough to provide the kits built by an American company.

Ugly ain't it;) (Not for long).http://www.digitalpose.com/mbr...l.jpg This car never was introduced to the U.S. with rear disc brakes; no one never said it couldn't be done. I'm probably the 1st to pull it off as I did this about 8 years ago.http://www.digitalpose.com/mbr...l.jpg Imagine a car this hideous looking putting out better than 500whp and in your rear view mirror (for just a second) and then 10 car lengths ahead of you within 3 seconds.http://www.digitalpose.com/mbr...l.jpg For those that never saw the the sister car or better yet, my girlfriend's fun car.http://www.digitalpose.com/mbr...l.jpgh ... br...l.jpg This hurts, but will be getting repaired 12/11/03 so that it can go to moroso on 12/21-22/2003. I'm going to put the well abused CA18DET to work one last time before the year ends. Can we say 25psi on a stock headgasket!http://www.digitalpose.com/mbr...l.jpg That one sports rear disc brakes as well as a KYB/Intraxx combination on the suspension side.http://www.digitalpose.com/mbr...l.jpg And at last, the death of my SHOhttp://www.digitalpose.com/mbr...l.jpg Nuff said!!!!!!

I hope you guys enjoyed me sharing some of personal triumphs and pain. Remember, that in the world of performance, money is only one thing and innovation is another. If you're missing either, just be happy with what you got and don't ever look down on your stuff because someone has something better. You own a CA18DET and that's special enough. We are in a class by ourselves and no matter what anyone says, this is the best 4 cylinder nissan has ever made (Point Blank):jet:

Happy Holidays to you all from D'angelo L. Eiland and Family!

It's a beautiful secret and fakers need not apply because these folks are serious about performance and I'm pretty sure their time is very valuable. It's probably going to be close to $2k for everything, but I'm going to concentrate on pushing this stock bor CA18 near the 600whp goal. You are the man, Alan and thanks again.

[boost_boy]

And Tim,

Whenever you are close to Tampa again, let me know. It's is always a pleasure to have a fellow CA owner peak at some of the works I've accomplished as well as some of my colleagues who have 470+whp KA24DE(T) motors in their 240s. Enjoy your xmas present.

[r34 gtr]

i will, thanks. my best friend goes to school at UT so i figure ill be down there alot. ill let you know when i do. good luck with that sentra! (btw, my friend at tampa is a fellow sentra owner, he's got a b13 and loves it to death. come this summer, i might send him your way for the sds treatment on his sr22 stroker-not yet installed, car just died on him so its time for it to be done though. its no ca18 but itll do i guess).

Happy holidays to everyone else heheh. Hope everyone has a good one.

[JustinStrife]

Man makes me want to drive down to Florida and check out that monster CA engine. Good luck with it boost boy!

[gh0st]

dee....kind of off topic, you still getting engines for a good price? you can PM or e-mail me at [email protected]

[Turb0wned]

damn thats awsome

[ca18datsun510]

you can put that motor in my 510 until your sentra is done if you want. i dont mind, really, be my guest.

[boost_boy]

Dee

That's friggin awesome....just the straight up stroker kit is $1.3k so $2k is quite reasonable. Now we just gotta see someone build an engine that puts out so much power they would need a set of those titanium rods :ylsuper

[jdmfreak]

I believe BoostBoy will be that person.

[float_6969]

ditto

[JustinStrife]

Ditto on my side too. His engine's gonna be crazy fast

[BookS13]

links dont work, but still very nice i would love to have something to tear up the b13's around town

[float_6969]

They worked when he first posted them. He must have exceeded his bandwidth...
