I saw a breif mention in an Option magazine with a teeny pic of a 1.9 CA18 with a T88-34D running 2.2kilo of boost laying down 700+I can find nothing else anywhere about it past that tiny mention but there are several 600+ CA shop cars in Japan, Pady and T-get are two demo cars that come to mind.

doesn'y really matter as it's not a reservoir in the conventional sense, It's just an overflow

Love the video of the CA powered 240 vs the SR powered, but if that video is correct, that CA car lagged it's butt off. Sounds like it was boosting anywhere from 18-20+psi of boost which is not bad. The car is probably wicked on the highway, but would have a hard time with some of these street quick cars. Be interested to see how it goes on the track as well.

Our member "OverBoosted180" has dispatched me to build him a 450+whp CA and he is extremely serious about this goal. I don't know what that rhombus ca powered car is pumping out, but it will have some company within the next few weeks. And I get to build the engine the way I want to, so I am extremely confident he will be able to achieve his goal. Stay tuned on this one guys and we'll chat more about this in a couple of weeks.

that was on Pt67 non BB with shfiting 8500. with 4.1 final drive.now it has t04r BB with shifting 9500 with 4.3 final drive..I have tested 4.1 4.3 4.6... 4.6 will top out of 5th gear on 1/4. belive or not depands on how big of tire you run but you get general idea)works pretty well on big single when you run shorter gear.

with power fc anti lag will do- 0.9-1.4 bar off the line (depands on boost level and how many rpm and how long). loud and fire time!

engine has 12000 miles on it.. has seen 8500-10000rpm all day long.. has not have any problem.

with sr20 t66 or ca18 t04r both car with 1600cc injectors gets about 28mpg on highway. could go little more but its good enough.paddy's car(yellow car those of you who doesnt know) which is no longer paddys car, its one of his customer's car. he made 630ish on 1.9 bar on gt3040. his car gets about close to 30ish if I caculated to mpg from kml

sorry if my english is not a perfect but its enough to understand I hope. I am working to get 1600cc injector to work on sr20 ecu with paddy so that his customers's car can run 1600cc since their car is maxed out 1000cc injector long time ago.. and I can get domestic 150lb injector cheap enough in here that can even compare the price to what they can buy it over in japan.

450whp is useless in an S-chassis....unless you're bonneville testing/hwy racing.

Disclaimer: On a purpose-built drag car it would be fine too, but romping on it in any gear less than 4th on the street = no traction.

Don't over-do the turbocharger and it should be fine. I have 600whp+ S-chasis cars around me with A/C, so that statement with the word useless is your opinion. I agree that trying to drive around on the street with your car set to pump out that kind of power is rediculous, but again that's one's opinion.

ehh, I disagree. with a LSD, 16x8.5 z32 tt wheels wrapped in 255/50/16 tires. You will still spin you wheels higher rpm in first,second gear, but 450whp isnt gonna hit on a ca till your going fast anyway.

full boost by 5600... power band 5600-9000. is not bad.

to be honest. its very streetable. only way to know if it is streetable or not is to own one.. if not you will never know.. this is 1.8l small engine.. if this was my old lexus then yes it is pretty useless til 4th but that is 6cy

I did 1.41 60ft with my old turbo and intercooler popped off.. but with this new BB turbo.. boost transition is great and be very pleased.

I only spins on 1-2nd on street tires 245 50 16.. good traction on 3rd..

if this is rb and 2jz ya no traction..

here is good example.http://www.rhombus-tuning.com/...?t=53wacth that and see if it is getting traction with sr20 on 20psi 500rwp on street tire to see if it is streetable.

both our car is same tire.. not a drag raidal or anything.

sorry to agianst your opnion but I get 28mpg, good traction, 490rwp on pump gas, RUNS good.. I will call it streetable.

Full Boost by 5600, going to 9500, that would be enough of a powerband for me. When I get the 2871r, Powerband should be app.3500-7500. Full boost just over 4k.....

I have to say that your crew have good running cars and am glad to see the CA get pushed to greater limits, but I'm going to have to call the on this 28mpg thing because there's just no way possible with 1000cc or even 1600cc that any of your cars are running that efficient. My car is tuned tightly and I even try to run it a bit lean off boost and my 72lb/hr injectors aren't buying it. The CA didn't even produce that much mpg from factory. Hell, our 2000 chevy prizm just barely gets that with new O2 sensors and regular oil changes. So if you're really going to stand by that, please help understand because after foolishly asking my other friends who are also great tuners, they looked at me like I was crazy. This is not to start an argument, but I personally can't let misinformation roll around the CA forum.

well I gets 350mpg on tank.. I drove 33miles go to work 33 miles back to work... I dont boost it at all, yes you are right if you are not pay attention on what your foot does.. yes I wont even get 15 or less. mostly highway miles.. its very well possible to get mpg on stady speed. both my car and sr.. sr gets little better than my car does.. belive or not.. part of it because I have more overlap on cams and its pretty sticks sometimes.

I have lot to say but I wont because I dont have time to type. and sorry that you dont belive and not feasiable. but I dont see anyone here doing as well as we do.

1.5 years and 12000 miles has not have signle problem( except my starter die on me) but its definitly do-able. but anyway.. sorry to misinform to the member.. I will just shut up and leave it alone.. thanks!

28mpg is very achievable

I get over 30mpg on the highway driving off boost and with traffic (get as little as 6mpg when giving it a lot of right foot though )

Bigtones car has even better MPG than mine (and more power)
