ca18de hp and tq w/minimal mods?

[chmercer]

does anyone have an idea of how much hp/tq a ca18de would make with cams, intake, exhaust, headers, pulleys?

[NeedCAforS13]

probably less than a KA with similar mods... unless you're gonna build an N/A monster, its probably smarter to stick with the N/A KA:) especially since the KA parts can be found here, while you're gonna pay an arm and a leg for CA parts from Japan!

i was just wondering, do you have a ballpark number, out of curiosity? my guess was around 160?

[NeedCAforS13]

yeah, that sounds reasonable... TMS says he thinks he can get a little over 200 with a CA18DE, but thats with some internals done... do a search for n/a CA or something like that. I posted afew non turbo threads awhile back that got some good responses:)

I've been laying plans to build up my NA CA. Shooting for 200hp or better. The major mods will be a 2.0 stroker kit w/11:1 compression, cams & valve train, injectors, EMS, ported head and intake, header and exhaust.

I'd like to do a DET someday but I want to play with the NA version for a while and see what happens. It's gonna be pulling a B11 so it should be alot of fun to drive.

Hey Myet, you know how much a stock B11 weighs?

[Myetball]

I found a ref that says it's 1,925lbs. Pretty light compared to an S13 which is 2700-2800lbs.

[minutericesentra]

yeah that sounds right, my B12 weighed in at 2140 IIRC, that was a year and a half ago and i can't remember if i had my stereo crap in the trunk or not and how much gas was in the tank.

Ahh, but when you guys pick-up the CA18, your cars wil gain some weight; but the power offsets that anyways....

No kidding...the CA is quite a heavy motor compared to and E16.

Even so, 200+hp in a car just over 2k lbs will be alot of fun.

Of course you know who will be providing the mod'd internals for the CA20DE stroker.

you guys do know that ca18de's come in pulsars. so there are parts everywhere in the us.

[NeedCAforS13]

lmao at dee!:D

yozsi have you ever even glanced at the CA forum? There's a big sticky at the top of the page for all the Silvia -> Pulsar parts... wow

I took a 100000 kilometer CA18DE and with a 4-2-1 HKS header, HKS airfilter and the air/fuel mix at around 12:1 it registered 150hp at the wheels, beat one Hachiroku, two tired GTS-Ts, tailgated a worn out FD and glued itself to the fender of a full tune ZC-powered civic. HKS took a CA18DE back when they were new and using only boltons and ROM tuning got 190hp from an 89' Q Silvia. I routinely shifted mine at 8000+ RPM without a hiccup. A 200hp NA CA18DE would be easy to build.

[Myetball]

Add to it a modest shot of NO2, say a 50 shot, and it will be nuts.
