Hey guys, I just picked up a ca18det that has some parts in it but doesn't have a turbo. Just wondering what turbo you guys would suggest. I was thinking about either a gt28rs or a gt30 but i would like to hear your input since this is my first ca. Heres what I know is done to the motor. s15 sr crank, weiseco pistons(adjusted oil squirters), bored 20 over, s15 rods, oversized springs, new valves retainers, rocker arms, head was port and polished with a 3 angle valve job (i think), all new gaskets and seals, new water pump, powerstearing pump, oil pan, fidanza flywheel, all new bearings, and a turbular turbo manifold. Thanks guys and please let me know what you think without being to harsh lol. remember im a newb to ca18's

Id like to know how someone put an SR crank and rods into a CA.

Also where does rockers arms come from? No such thing in a CA.

You should get the correct info from whoever you bought it from as it looks like they BS you.

Yeah I'm harsh.....

Dude are yu sure you actually have a ca18? I reckon you actually have an SR20 (redtop?) and you are confused..

The S15 gear is eyebrow raising to say the least, but the dead giveaway is that CA's don't have rocker arms..

Damn,

Just broke a rocker arm in my CA and was wondering if you guys have any extras lying around preferably from an S14. Come on guys, don't be too hard on my wicked special-mix engine?? ?? ??WTF??

P.S. No harm meant to the O.P. , but this was funny.
