It's been a fun few years guys. It's definitely had it's ups and downs, but now it is time to move on. The 240 sold today. Thank you Dee, Ryan, Greg and Mike for every ounce of help you have provided me with! It was more than greatly appreciated!

I will however... BE BACK...

you made like 1/2 the posts around here worth reading. specially after Tim and TMS have all disappeared.

And yeah......... everytime someone sells their car on here it seems to end up back forsale in pieces days later after the tard who bought it decides to turn the boost sky high and drive the piss out of it;)

Is it too early to say I look forward to the part out?

Honestly, I don't even remember what it sounds like. I am a traitor, I have been rocking a dual cam KA for three weeks now.

Surprisingly, I don't feel like my CA had any less torque? Even with the butterfly valves removed....

Please refer the new owner to this site so we can judge them mercilessly.

awesome phil.........

a little shocked though, expected those numbers be about 100 more each. though another 10PSI and more fuel should be able to make alot more.

Quote »a little shocked though, expected those numbers be about 100 more each[/quote]345hp from a street 1.8L at only 10psi will take one helluva turbo, that I doubt would even spool

gab its at japtrix. i didnt go down there so im not sure, im pretty sure dynojet tho. numbers are SAE.

the tune was VERY conservative as i said. they were unsure of nistune so they didnt do alot of timing work etc. car has ALOT more in it, it pulls harder than almost any 4banger (except mazworx sr car) that ive ever been in.

no cams, stock CR. PTE SC61 T3T4. full boost at 4100rpm 10psi lol

If I could manage 245whp on 10psi I would poop my pants. This isn't Meminto's car here, its just a relatively stock CA18 with a really big turbo.

I actually didn't expect boost to come on so early. I mean, that's a big turbo on there. I might have to look into that when I get ready to ditch the GT28.

i have enough torque on 25psi where I can easily induce wheelspin shifting to 3rd gear for 100+ feet. Climbing towards 100mph with tires burning is quite the experience

vids coming soon.

p.s. power steering, heat, full interior and roll cage
