I'm jumping ship.

[DEEPfrom1]

I am jumping engine ships. Ill miss the ca, but it and my plans don't correspond. So guys, thanks a million for all of the help. I will still be poking around this forum i'm sure. If you guys need anything for your engines, here is the link. ca18det-part-out-everything-you-could-e ... 09334.html

Wish you guys all the best.

What'ca going to?

[DEEPfrom1]

Either Ka-t or RB25. I can't decide.

[sjbsuperman1425]

KA-T. parts availability is far better.

[float_6969]

Just make sure you spend money on the rods. Every KA-T i've seen lets go of the stock rods eventually.

sil13.5: Please enable your pm's so I can respond.

Guys: I will be doing KA-T!, bottom end will be built. Just picked up a hx35 8 blade today.

Congrats on the Holset! I've got one languishing in the garage that I might put on the CA one day. It's huge though. I'd need another turbo or a supercharger to spool it, LOL!

[DEEPfrom1]

It is pretty massive lol, I'm thinking the 2.4 will be okay though. Float, do you have any experience with megasquirt?

[beans33]

I used to have it on my CA. It wasn't too bad, the only real problem I ran into was that there arent to many people in my area that have worked with it. I got rid of MS2 for Nistune. Contact Tim (r34gtr) as he has ran it on his CA for years now. He should be able to answer any questions for you.

[float_6969]

No, I run an SDS EM4-F.

[r34 gtr]

Hai. Check out Megasquirt 3, it looks nucking futz. sequential injection/ignition with individual cylinder tuning? yessir. Sign me up.

Edit: I forgot to mention how deliciously cheap it is.

Megasquirt II is nice. Super cheap, gets the job done, and my car idles (idled) better than it ever did with the stock ECU.

Thanks for input R34. Did you assemble the kit yourself, and did u use a relay kit or run the oem relays?

[progman]

DEEP,

I run a megasquirt as well. The relay kit is for converting a car from carb to EFI (and for neat freaks!). With the CA18 the only relay you need is the fuel pump and it takes 3 seconds to hookup. If you assemble the kit your self buy a decent solder station I don't recommend using a regular pen solder stick thing (but people have done this).

DEEP, also for the 1995-1998 KA24DE you have have to change the ignition... ether do a trigger wheel (lots of work) or convert it to the 91-94 ignition system.

have fun.

[DEEPfrom1]

Thanks for the info Progman, the engine is a 91-94. Do you think trigger wheel is going to be THAT much better that using the pick up from my dizzy?

[sjbsuperman1425]

hey DEEP, do you have a T28 you are willing to part with by chance?

[DEEPfrom1]

I just sold GT28R for $400, it was in awesome shape! I had on every forum for sale, you're about a week too late. Sorry bro.
