Ok for some reason the words "turbo lines" in the search engine did not bring up any results, although I am sure this question has been covered several times....so sorry for bringning it up again. But anyways...What turbo lines (ss braided) are you guys running with the ca18det? I'm talking oil and water lines. Do the ones for the sr20 work? Also, FYI, I am running the gt2860rs turbo for reference.

Thanks alot.

The SR20 kit will work but one of the oil feed line fittings is different. There WAS a company making a CA18 Specific kit, but that was a long time ago. I would check out some of our sponsors, maybe email them directly, and see if they offer a CA18 specific kit.

Great writeup here on NICO about making your own lines for the CA.

FRsport used to have them but I can't seem to find them there anymore.

I just bought CA18DET SS lines from FRSport. The lines are DIF. $160 shipped, just make sure to get the .032" restrictor on their site also if running a ball bearing turbo.
