Hi Boys! - I'm Back - New Toy and guess what!

[CA19DET]

I just thought I would come by and say Hi, it's been a loooooooong while since i posted here when i had my CA18 S13 Silvia..

(here is a lil vid i found of the old silvia - http://bezman.com/ca19det/ca19_startup.WMV)

well anyhoo, I just got myself a new datsun b110 (1200 Sunny) with a CA18DET

here are a couple photos and will keep ya updated and expect a few questions, i may have forgotten everything bout these little firecracker engines









Her name is Foxy Brown, she's fitted with a bone stock CA18DET, crappy blow off valve, 5 speed with slipping clutch , disk brakes all round and thats about it haha, no intercooler and a blown out rear turbo gasket

good to see float and boostboy still around

I'll keep ya'll updated about the build up and progress, already ordered a dump/O2 pipe and new gaskets and will be replacing the clutch (recommendations welcomed), doing some Z32 brakes, coilovers and yes, changing the color..

I am thinking about getting a new turbo manifold (recommendations welcomed) GT2871R, Ebay intake manifold , new headgasket, FMIC, 550's and some kind of management, adj cam gears and maybe some 256 cams.

anyway, glad to be back, amazed my account was still active, really impressed with how the community has grown and aftermarket support for the CA has gotten better!!

Looks quick. I'll bet it doesn't weigh much, does it.

[ska69]

interesting car.. the CA looks great in it

[boost_boy]

Welcome back my friend! And as you know the door was never closed. Good to see you back to your roots, but in a different platform. You should already know what to do to make it do better and we look forward to you doing as well (I know I am). What year sunny is that puppy?

Heee'sss bbbaaaccckkk! What's up man! Where did you go? I know that island isn't THAT big, LOL. This is an interesting combo. Should make for quite the sleeper.

[ca18detgabby]

that looks like so much fun.

I maybe odd, but I like the brown

[Frankenfourty]

Isnt there a pickup version of this car? I really like those little trucks, and to me this is just as cool. I love oddball cars (well to an american its oddball).

[BACARDI_DWB]

Yes they do its called a ute I think his sunny is a newer model thou, we did get a few utes over here in the US, I have a friend that has two of them:

[Frankenfourty]

Yep those are the ones. Those things look like they weigh next to nothing.

[BACARDI_DWB]

yeah they are pretty light, they are a unibody truck, not made to truck around alot of stuff but that ensures that they can scoot

I drooled over the thought of owning an old datsun, thinkin' it'll never happen..... then BAM! about a month ago, a FREE 1976 datsun B210 fell into my lap!! I feel so lucky(or blessed) Of course my spare CA18/auto transmission will now find a home. I have the auto harness & ecu(transmission control box thingy?) also. Just gotta study if anything wires up differently.I'll post pix of this other 'oddball' when its ready

Hey guys small updates, the turbo i got with the car ended up being a IHI Subaru turbo that was welded onto the CA18 manifold

What turbo manifolds would you recommend for a low mount GT28R?

here is a walk around the car - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDvzvxjrBkQ

[Ca_Silvia]

Stocker for a tight fitting bay or any re-enforced SSAC from egay will work. The SSAc will push the turbo down farther

[CA19DET]

i've got a little room to play with.. my stock ones messed up so cant use that

any other recommendations, i cant believe like 4 years later and noone makes CA18 turbo manifolds yet??

nope, nobody makes a good manifold for the CA yet lol =]

[boost_boy]

Nobody makes them in volume , but there's people that will make one. let's face facts, the CA crowd is cheap and I do mean real cheap, so it's hard to justify bulding good manifolds that will never be sold in abundance. Again, there are folks who makes them, but they will be custom and will be for your particular application. I paid good money for all of my FWD and RWD manifolds (over 4 grand between 4 cars), but its money well spent.
