n/a ca? anyone running one?

[s13redmon]

kinda out of the blue, but just wondering if anyone was running a n/a built ca. i think the idea sounds pretty cool, like with high compression and a ported-a** head. i bet a non-turbo 200ish horsepower ca would be really fun.

My mate had one, but has now sold it. Compression was around 12:1, head was ported with polished exhaust ports, had oversize valves, ACL pistons, cast iron rings, custom made headers match ported, and a 2.5" exhaust with high flow cat. It did go pretty hard. Was running off a microtech standalone ECU. All it needed was some larger cams, but he sold it before installing some. Sadly it was never dyno'd, so I have no idea what kind of power it was making.

I'd be very interested to see what a built NA CA could do.

I would be very impressed to see a NA ca18 make 200rwhp.

I had some HKS High Comp pistons, and this side draft manifold. I still have a NA RSR exhaust mani.

did he ever post any vids? this has kinda been on my mind lately lol not thinking about doing it or anything, way to much $$$ for my budget, just curious lol

No he never took any vids of it. If was off the road and unregistered for most of it's life. He just lost interest in it.

Rangenasian - did you ever get that head on a block and running? Ive never seen a CA with quad throttles or carbies like that, would be an interesting project.
