[JDM_1990_S13]

dam this project is taking for ever, i have like only half the stuff needed to finish, dam here is the new list.

This is what i already have:

JE forged Pistons (84mm 8.5 CR)Total Seal gapless ringsTurbonetics T3/T04E 50 Trim, .63 TurbineSpearco core Intercooler (20x10x3 core)Turbonetics DeltagateHKS 256 IN 264 EX Cams & Adj. Cam GearsHaltech E6k & 3 bar pres. sensorRC Engineering 550cc InjectorsOE main & rod bearings & Gasket KitOE water pump & timing belt.Blitz SSBC Boost ControllerHKS Turbo TimerTutbo XS Tyoe H Blow off valveNGK racing plugs

Thsi is what i still got to get

Crower Forged H Beam RodsGREX 1.6mm Metal HeadgasketWalbro 255lph High pressure intank fuel pumpFuel Management Unit (adjustable fule regulator)MSD DIS 2Oil Cooler & relocator kitTurbo Manifold3" Down Pipe, mid pipeHKS Super Dragger II catback exhaust3 core radiator & 1.1 bar rad capTwin electric 10" fansKA24E 6 puck clutch kit (pressure plate, disk, cover, bearing)

dammmmmmm......... i feel to just sell everything and buy a stock turbo engine and call that it...

i think once i start building up everything i'll be motivated again, but now i feel like i am spending waaaaaaaayy too much money..

with all these mods i think i'll be pushing about 400WHP @ 20 psi even though i think the injectors will not let me get that far...

anyone else have any projects underway?

[slw240sx]

JDM, i feel your pain, im dumping all my money into this project and i still cant drive her yet !! i havent even gotten to buyuing the internals thats later in the year, once i get to drive it and learn more about the motor.. if you want to sell the 550 cc injectors and want to goto 720 or what ever ill gladly take the 550s off your hands for a fair price!!!!

[nomore_mr2]

well theres good news for me. **** the whore i am gonna finish my car!!! woooohooooo!! i am almost done with everything. and if everything works out i'll be picking up pauls car within the next week or so. i only have to buy my injectors and headstuds and my motor is complete. then just need to wire up the sds and time to rock and roll. oh yeah the 8 gal fuel cell -10 line feed and -6 am return and aeromotive fpr fuel pump and filter. hoping everyones projectos go smoothly. hey jdm was everything there for the haltech? i havent found any pieces here but just double checking.

Quote »JDM_1990_S13[/quote] You have spent some cheddar already on your project! I sure hope you get what you paid for! 400whp could've been produced without going to the extreme, but then again there's nothing like insurance as well;)

[CA18Fastback]

i saw that you said the 550s wont do 400hp. how much can the stock 370s do? thanks again

~Ian

[boost_boy]

I think 550cc injectors are good for around 350-375whp in a CA18DET and that's at about or around 85-95% duty cycle, but I could be wrong. This is an Hypothesis and not a calculated response!;)

i'm selling my KA this weekend so i'm buying my Ca next month and going to start rebuilding the bottom end

if i have anyone left i would like to get fmic, i missing somethings too i cant think all of it of the top of my head

[nomore_mr2]

you guys the stock rods are very stout. save your cash. have them shot peened and polished maybe. dont waste your cash. buy that fmic before you buy rods for sure.

[slw240sx]

all that and your only goin for a t28, id reconsider going t3!!

unless you like the idea of owning a tank that shoots 22 caliber rounds

[boost_boy]

Quote »you guys the stock rods are very stout. save your cash.[/quote] Thank You! Are you guys trying to build 7 second CA powered engine or pretty powerful street car? the rods are up to the task if you have them strengthened via shotpeening. You're wasting valuable money and time on name brand rods when the stock units are very strong.

[boost_boy]

Quote »upgrade to a t28 ball bearing [/quote] This should most definitely be changed before screwing with the rods. A T3 or something in that nature will be more appropraite.

[JDM_1990_S13]

you see my problem is that i don't want to have an engine that makes 400 WHP runs great for a few months, then decelerating at high rpms in a top gear and break a rod... i have thought about going with OE rods for some time now, have not decided yet... but i know if i buy the rods i can surpass my 400 hp goal and maybe go for 500+ and run into the 11's and 10's even thouhg i don;t think i can handle that kinda power on trinidads' roads at all.. (very narrow and windy)

[nomore_mr2]

aaron my goals far exceed yours. i have big plans for my ca. i actually just got a 150 shot direct port. i am still gonna use teh stock rods. i have seen no reason why you cant use them. hey does that one comapny keep emailing you about cams? ever since that auction he emails me once a week for new cams he got.

[boost_boy]

The biggest thing is, some of us want things "Now" and not 2-4 months down the road. The only people have CA rods on their shelves is Carrillo rods and they want over a grand for them (I don't think so). Why do you want to buy a set of rods that cost more than a complete engine? Now, ifyou're planning on breaking some records, then some aftermarket rods might be the ticket, but if 400-500whp is your goal I think the stock ones re-shotpeened will suffice. Let's face it, you nor I will be riding around all day/everyday touching peak horsepower and you know the dyno is about the only place in all actuallity that you're going to push that engine that hard. And even during drag racing, you won't be peaking your Hp for not more than 13 seconds or less. There's always a chance that something will let go even with the forged rods, so I guess it's all about luck and fate!

[boost_boy]

I just recently won an auction on ebay for a set of HKS cam and cam gears! I really needed the cam gears, but will possibly use the cams in my girl's new car and the cam gears in my own and sell her regrinds which worked very well.

[JDM_1990_S13]

yeah dude they are still emailing me about the cams.

ohh and i too plan on running some N20 but only a 75hp shot.. what kinda set up you using, NX Express, Zex, NOS ???

"""Turbo Manifold3" Down Pipe, mid pipeHKS Super Dragger II catback exhaust"""

I can help you out with these things:I have a tubular manifold for sale to fit a t3, more specifically fits a T3/T04E and a Tial 40mm 'gate, 3" downpipe with mandrel bends, and a 3" exhaust with thermal muffler straight through. I can sell it to you as a whole for $1100 shipped. obo.

[JDM_1990_S13]

how much for the manifold, exhaust and down pipe, i have a wastegate already thanks,.

what sort of exhaust is it?

[boost_boy]

Quote »HKS Super Dragger II catback exhaust"""[/quote] There you go!

[JDM_1990_S13]

i think that was a quote from my post before, all he said was that it is "and a 3" exhaust with thermal muffler straight through"

[drumma022]

The price listed WAS for the manifold, downpipe, and exhaust. If you take a look at the link, it shows the details on the items. I was looking for $1100 for the whole kit, minus the turbo and minus the wastegate. The price is negotiable. The muffler is a Thermal Research and Development. It sounds real beefy when under boost! The piping from the turbo to the muffler is all 3", mostly mandrel bent, and straight through. You can talk to Paul (movingviolation240) to ask how the car sounded to get a 2nd opinion.

Here are some pics of the manifold I was referring to earlier:

[JDM_1990_S13]

$800 for the manifold is kinda steep for me rght now, i am just looking for a manifold for now, i can get a custom 3" exhaust made and buy a GReddy or HKS muffler..

thanks though

[JDM_1990_S13]

in picture 4 what sort of cast iron manifold is that on the floor? is it for a CA too?

[drumma022]

The cast was my bottom mount manny that was modified to fit a T3, and then painted black. That has been sold already, sorry. I am negotiable on the manifold price if you take the whole package off my hands. The reason why I initially threw out 800 is b/c I origionally paid $400 to get it off ebay, but then cost me an additional $200 plus a T3 turbo to have it modified to work on the car. I also have pics of what the manifold looked like before it was modified if needed.

Thanks

well as of today at 3pm, my Motor is finnally starting to come around i drove her 10-15 miles today, she was running very well today, dropped in some new plugs, and she fired rigt up, and idles lil shaky till warm, but she behaved. only prob is im hiting boost cut by third gear under throttle, its starting to give me whip lash !!! started to get sputery towards the end of the drive so i put her back into the garage!! but things are looking up.....

[boost_boy]

Did you install the gauge and see where you're boost cutting at?

[slw240sx]

you got AIM ???

yah at 11-12psi

IM me at sidefxs1 if you do!

[JDM_1990_S13]

clean your AFM very well, it helps too... if it is cruddy with oil etc it will trip off the fuel cut earky too. but 12psi sounds right depending on your ambient temps..
