Got my ca18det

[Master_Tao]

hello, I just wanted to say hi and show off my new engine. well new to me any way. apparently the piston rings are leaking so I gotta replace those. I figured I might as well rebuild it. I'm gonna have lots of questions probably, so be prepared. hey, I just thought of my first question..... what should I do first? besides just strip it down? well anyway, here are the pics.

sweet, you should hit me up on aim: runic419 I was living in centerville(now back in miamisburg), over in woodgrove apartments but I had a primer grey hatch then. I've got a black with a silvia front on it right now. I could deffinatly use a stock turbo, but I think my stock manifold is fine. I'm also looking for a intercooler and clutch at the moment. I've got a guy that is socketing my ecu for me and building me a rom burner, but if you've got one that would save me some $$$. But yeah, just hit me up on aim, I'd love any help I can get.

And since you've got it apart, it wouldn't be a bad idea to throw a JWT flywheel on there! Infact, there is a group buy on them right now, and if we can get you and one more person on board, we've got the minium and we're ready to roll! Here is the thread...http://nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=94077

Hehehe

I saw that thread and I've been eyeing it for a while. It's just alot of $$$ when I could be spending it on other upgrades. but e-mail me with the details and I'll think about it. [email protected]

It's not advertising. I'm not making any money on this anyway. I just really want that darn flywheel and I need more people to get in on it with me! Hehehe
