ca18det running a hks gt3040 pro

[sldwys]

Hey guys, My ca18det

Dont worry I have some extensive work done to it... Well... Heres the list

Tomei 272/jun 290 in/ex with a 10.25mm lift on bothTomei Solid lifterTomei ShimsTomei Valve springs ( brought from someone off these forums)Tomei 1.2mm HeadgasketHKS Cast Iron Top mount Exhaust manifoldTial 42mm WastegateCustom alloy intake manifoldq45 Throttlebodycustom twin entry fuel railSard 1000cc InjectorsPorted and polished 4 port cylinder head and Combustion chambersTomei in/ex Adjustable cam gearsCP forged pistonsRoss Forged RodsNitrated and polished CrankAll race bearingsDecked and bored 1mm overbore Anyway... You get the jist at the moment....

Im looking at running a HKS gt3040 with a .86 hotside turbo... Can anyone give me any info on how this would go and how this turbo would compare in maxpower/spooltime to a garrett gt3540 with a .63...

thanks guys much appreciated.

I drove SR's with .63 vs 86. AR's on 2871's.

I would suggest the turbo with the smaller AR.

those cams however might be able to take advantage of a larger AR?

[sldwys]

Well... I just brought myself a Garrett gt35R with a upgraded to4z Compressor wheel running a .58 A/R Hotside.... Im damn sure this will go good

[float_6969]

So I take it you're running the center entrance T4 turbine housing? Have you checked clearance on that yet? The T4 compressor housing that comes with the manifold stock is kinda close with the side inlet. I would be concerned about it being too close to the mani with the center inlet.

Also, why didn't you choose a turbo with a divided T4 inlet? I know that bumps you up to a much bigger turbo, but it looks to me like you've got the setup for it.

isnt that tad large?

[sldwys]

to be honest when it comes to the turbo side of things I know SFA.... Im wanting to keep this semi streetable hence when i went for the .58, I also went for the t4 flange as it is the same flange as my manifold, So worse comes to worse i cant make a spacer up and theryll be a hole in the dmax bonnet with a snail head poking out.

[float_6969]

If you're looking for a streetable setup, I think you made a good pick. Can't wait for vid's and and dynocharts.

What are you using for engine management.

[sldwys]

thanks Float, I am going to be running a Link G3 Plus, Made here In New Zealand - I think at the end of the day the only real trouble I am going to have is the gearbox will not last that long!

I will post up a album thread in the next few months!

[r34 gtr]

Wow, this thing sound awesome. I cannot wait for pictures and videos.

[sldwys]

yeah its been in the build for over 4 years... And i dont owe a thing on the car all brought and paid for with cash!

[meminto]

The custom fuel rail, are you using dash 6 or dash 8 lines?

Did you change the fuel lines from the tank to motor?

Are you using a surge tank dual external pump setup for your fuel requirement?

I am interested in your build up, seems a good match of parts..

The .58 housing should spool up nicely...

Sounds about right with the time unless you are a rich kid. Your components list is pretty heft and the GT35R should be a treat as I own both a GT35R (daily sentra) and T04R (Drag Sentra). I can honestly say the GT35R on a stock CA had me grinning like a little boy that saw his first set of real breasts . You have the components, but tuning is key. Even have a Greddy T-78 on an engine that has nearly the same components as you except for the camshafts. Can't wait to see how this stuff makes your engine react.

Yeah... Well thats only the engine side of things... I work for Weta Digital making movies so 22 and earning a hefty dollar... I own my own house... Lol... Im setup quite well i think!

Anyway.... Theres every single suspensino component replaced.. cusco camber,traction,toe and front tension arms, cusco zero 2-e Coil overs, kazama subframe locks, tomei 2-way mechanical LSD, Nismo power brace, Cusco B pillar bar, front and rear braces, Cusco bolt in roll cage, supermade instant gentleman bodykit (genuine), Ikeya formula sequential shifter, greddy type R? bov ( the big one) oil cooler kit, kics 20mm spacers to get the work equip 18x9.5 and 18.10.5 sitting nice with the 50mm widebody, Custom made headlights, type X tail lights, Buddy club limited edition p1 racing seats on bride rails, MOMO drift deep dish steering wheel, All hks Gauges... Removed and stripped interior and bedliner on the whole interior floor.... Theres alot of work done... lol

All I need to finish it is to buy the intercooler and to get the paintjob done

[sldwys]

-8 dash lines will be made, With a surge Tank and + denso 700hp internal fuel pump feeding the surge tank and an external of some sort to feed through to the fuel rail.

Fuel lines from the tank to the engine bay will be replaced eventually with teflon coated braided lines.

[meminto]

Sweet as, I have a walbro pickup feeding a 2L surge with dual bosch 044 externals running into dual 3/8 aluminium lines for feed and return...

I use dash 6 braid to my fuel rail though split to dash4 to the wet fogger...

I was only going to use a dual in tank setup, however after some advice and logical thinking the surge tank setup was the go...

cheers

[float_6969]

Any new update on this?

[sldwys]

Lol I need 4x Tomei Shims and really dont want to spend the amount for a full set as I see it as a waste -

But - I opted and got a Garrett gt3540 with a Precision .58 Exhaust housing to help it spool

Also running a HKS Racegate 50mm - ( also have another one of these for sale )

hmmmm...... Really should get 4 tomei test shims 2.3mm thick... someone must have some kicking around lol

ahhhh also sold my origional cams and found some... wait for it.... 312 deg in and ex with a 10.35.... CRAZY N/A CAMS!! lol...... Dodgy little garage in japan helped me out with this! lol

[float_6969]

Holy peaky power band batman!

I thought you could order individual shims based on the size you needed?

[sldwys]

yeah but for 4 its the same price as a set of 12 lol

[float_6969]

Um, that's ghey. Hindsight is 20/20, but why didn't you just order 16 of the thickest shims they made and carefully sand them down to the correct thickness?

[sjbsuperman1425]

i can't wait until i can start to afford my build lol

sounds like it'll be BA. can't wait for pics/vids! GL
