my CA almost runs perfict :)

[Sir. Driftalot]

so i purchased a rolling chassis this winter built it from close to scratch.

Specs:

ca18detblitz bov3"downpipe (thats it for now)smic9 psi boostwalbro 300zx fuel filterstock FPR seems to be fine.

Oh my gosh i love CA's im in love.

Thx rafi for the motor im so happy.

next step is to see why its running so cold mabye thermo is stuck open??

after that. my next mod I want to upgrade to FMIC <- suggestions welcome!

look at the radiator u got. That things nice!!!I wish my ca ran cold. It just runs normal with my single core ka24E radiator.

for a FMIC you could get a johnny racecar. Thats wat i just put in. Get the 6" model, I have the 8" but its too high for the length. Touches my headlight motors, and its alittle harder to fill all that air with the little t25. for piping i got custom

You don't want it to run cold. Ideally it should always be between 180-190°F.

As for the FMIC, I think Weldinghank has the 8" johnnyracecar front mount. Maybe he can chime in on the fitment.

Damn....I run at 150^F...

Very nice!! RHD as well I see!

a buddy of mine has one on his ca and he said the pipes were perfect (cold pipe is the only one that REALLY matter tho..the rest are pretty much the same)

[Sir. Driftalot]

yea how did the lower hot pipe work out?

[Neejay]

Damn that engine is clean. Did you do the work yourself?

[Sir. Driftalot]

yup i do everything on my car myself... I just changed to another stock turbo since mine was spitting oil, its almost back together hopefully that problem will be solved and i can drift the car this weekend at the track.

do you guys have any suggestions on what mods i should do next?

[float_6969]

I personally had an S14 kit on my car and it worked perfectly.

[Sir. Driftalot]

So, i installed the new turbo same problem bad turbine seal

the queston is what should i get:

t25 sr?

t28 sr?

gt2871rs?

t3 super 60

the t25, t28, gt28rs are good if i later on decide to buy an sr or somthing like that, how ever t3 super 60 is looking very nice aswell.

anyone know of a manifold that wont crack and is equal length?

i want to put a new manifold on aswell so frustrated right now
