highest for CA?

[cys19]

Just one question that I can't seem to find by searching through the forums: What's the highest anyone's gone so far with the CA18DE-T? I know the SR can go around 544whp w/o too much strain, and the KA-T (stock except intercooler, fuel system, and engine management) aorund 400. But what about the CA?

[nab911]

well noris designs has the highest **OUTSIDE JAPAN** at a little over 500 i think

but hopefully dee will make them look like a couple of little girls

How much are you getting?

[Jezz_s13]

the ND one is ~600, 516@hubs.

[cys19]

Holy crap! Then why do most people prefer the sr over the ca? easier to find aftermarket parts?

[Jezz_s13]

It's true there are more aftermarket SR parts.This ND CA is heavily modified though.

I don't think it's that necessary myself though.I'm hoping mine will be somewhere close to that, but it'll be done on a bugdet by myself, not on a tuner's budget by a tuner.

[KaZ (VaBch)]

I'm shooting for 500+rw... if I ever complete it... =(

[cys19]

When you said 516@hubs, was that yours? If not, what are you getting so far? And how much did you spend on it?

[KaZ (VaBch)]

No, he's saying the Norris... 600hp at the crank, 516 at the wheels.

[Jezz_s13]

no 516 is the Ex-ND one.

I'm aiming for 500rwbhp. (just ordered a big turbo, injectors rods blah blah blah.)

I've spent loads but most of that is experiment over the last 3 years.

I'ts only around 260-270@wheels at the minute.

Quote »I've spent loads but most of that is experiment over the last 3 years.[/quote] It's like paying for a college education!:pface. I've done as much 400+whp, but never kept the dyno sheet because it wasn't a major interest. More interested to see how long the stock CA can take 350+whp! It done well........

i notice the ND car even tho it had all that horsepower it still only ran a 11.9but the MPH was up so ..it would be interesting to see what it has further ran

[boost_boy]

What was it's MPH?

Dee

[cortina-mk1]

129MPH

oh and also reading about that engine nothing i could see mentioned about what fuel that was on

it is on 1000cc injectors mmm im thinking maybe methanol .. anyone know ?

[Nismo1182]

The stock block SR record is 600 whp.

I want to see how far a stock block CA can go.

[ants13]

I think the ND car runs 98 octane pump fual and race fuel for special occasions

redtop?

[Nismo1182]

red or black, dont remember. Same thing anyway.

[cortina-mk1]

reading about that ND car of richiesit seems he has big problems trying to get the car off the linei see 60 foot times as high as 3.88 ! boost starting around 5000rpm that is having something to do with that LOLalso looked at the dyno chart .. not much torque out of that engine...

[boost_boy]

Yeah, that seems to be the problem with high powered CAs in the fact that we all seem to have a hard time getting the car through the 60 ft zone in a decent amount of time. Too big if turbo will cause this problem as well. I launched my girlfriend's car on the 2 step at 7000rpm, built only 5psi of boost and burned the drag radials up off the line causing me to come up with a time of 14.2@111mph. I mean once the car hooks-up, it's showtime. But by the time the car hooks up, everyone's gone home while my turbo is just starting to spool-up.

[cortina-mk1]

i dont want to hi-jack a thread ..but

with our older CA18 engine running a t28i managed a 1.69 60 footer

the new engine will be somewhat different... time will tell

[ants13]

at the weekend i think richies car ran a 11.4 @ 127.thats with a flunked gearchange

[cortina-mk1]

ants13,

goodis there any more info ?on another forum perhaps ?

A couple of vids and a recent thread, most of the info bout this car is over on http://www.sxoc.com/vbb,

[cortina-mk1]

thanx im on sxocbut must be looking in wrong area

[quest]

most of the dragstrip action found on sxoc general bbs, not the tech.

Richie/ND car is definitely a powerful beast, and the ETs to match will show up sooner or later. Big (peaky) power cars are more tricky to launch, but with enough experience, he should figure it out.... for the time being, you see where the term "dyno queen" come from."bigtone" should have some interesting results also. Clutch, belhousing and flywheel exploded when he ran slicks for the first time recently. Scary... reminds me of some spec clutch episodes.

Nice to see these over the top efforts on the little ca18 tho. I wouldn't go that far. I'd switch to vg30ET power in my s13 if I wanted a smooth, rugged torquey monster... 450+ ft-lbs on ~18year old stock bottom ends, before spray. They can take a 150shot and grin. There is one approaching 700whp on a stock pathfinder bottom end.

cortina-mk1,was your 1.69 60ft in a full weight s13... or the cortina ?Makes a world of difference when you drop these motors in a corolla or similiar.your cortina is top shelf btw

[cortina-mk1]

@questthats correct weight of the vehicle its trying to shift has a huge amount to do with it

was in a MK1 cortina bout 1200kgs and thanx

[boost_boy]

This engine has to be launched around the 5000ish mark to get it off it's face using the bigger turbochargers. At 4k it will bog. At 7k the tires will smoke and you will go nowhere. I'm going to try it with slicks when I put my G/F's car back together and see if this theory holds true (I know it does, but). And depending on how her car does with a new suspension and upgrades, I'll bench mark this car's performance for my own built CA. The ND/Richie's car doesn't use a really huge cam (At least by specs), but it sure sounded lumpy in the dyno video.
