n/a ca18de

[float_6969]

Aren't they almost 200hp out of a 1.8L? I could look it up, but since you've got one...

[ca18datsun510]

like 175 crank horse power for a stock gsr 1.8type r is like 190 crank horse

i dont have it yet, but im building a gsr/ls/b16 hybrid motor

its a gsr blcok, ls crank and rods, b16 pistons, b16 head etc.

basically a ls vtec without the oil line bull****.

reason is ls has same bore, but slightly longer stroke. blah blah blah etc.

[float_6969]

Yea, I'm familia with the ls vtec swap. I've got a friend that's got one in w/cai, header, highflow cat, exhaust, vtec controller, and ecu. It's a pretty darn quick car. He's contemplaing putting a turbo on it. Man that'd be scary...

[themadscientist]

Why. How about a Silvia with a CA18DE trading blows gear for gear with a full-tilt Civic NA? The look on that *****'s face was priceless. WTF? Oh yeah baby, bone stock longblock, suck it! +1 for christmas smilies rule!

im not really sure what you are saying.

but ok. i have both cars.

[themadscientist]

I was responding to twinkie's post.

[sideways danny]

I'm going to build a 12:1 c/r 9k rpm 48mm ITB'd CA20DE one day

[float_6969]

why not 14:1? That's the generally accepted effeciency limit for compression ratio. Throw a 200shot on that and it'd be a screamer.

I have on multiple occasions considered building a super high rev direct port nitrous'd CA in a Pulsar.

Man that would be a sleeper.....

[themadscientist]

Bottles are for babies.

[float_6969]

Are you gonna say that after you're looking me square in the tail light?

[themadscientist]

You would have to get past me first cutiepie and most find that very difficult to do.

[float_6969]

I've got two words for you friend,

Flat Tires....

[themadscientist]

I like the way you think but I would suggest hand-tight lug nuts. The potential for the dramatic fiery death of your opponent is higher.

[float_6969]

Aahhhh, but you didn't consider the method for me giving you the flat tires. If I am loosing when we are racing, I will bust out my crossbow with laser guided bolts and give you flat tires.

Granted the chance for fires is considerably less, but what is more scary than a guy with a crossbow with a laser on it?

[themadscientist]

A shark with a fricken laser beam attached to it's head perhaps?

[ca18datsun510]

so i saw the kid i sold my old ca powered 510 to.

he still has it and its all apart.

and he wants to get rid of it.

so i may buy it back and put the na in the 510, and put the turbo motor in the 240.

hey tms, or anyone, find me a ca intake manifold for dual side drafts. i got some webers i wanna use.

[float_6969]

Wow, do you think anybody made one? I'd love to see that. I'd think you'd have to have something made custom...

[ca18datsun510]

hmm. guess il have to invest in a tig. the mig aint gonna cut it.

guess i could use the base of the stock ca manifold and hopefully find a carb manifold i could hybrid to it.

maybe ill just pick up my boys sds, and do a street bike itb setup. hmmm

damnit i need 2 more jobs. and my own garage.

[float_6969]

LMAO! Don't we all.

As for the manifold, I would think that you could hack up the stock mani and just have a flange CNC'd to match the Webber/mani combo. Have it TIG'd and you'd be all set.

I'm prob full of it and it's not nearly that easy...

[themadscientist]

Someone did make a carb manifold for the CA. I will do my best to find out who and if they are still available. A set of flatsides would be the sex!

[sideways danny]

why not 14:1?

DUDE!!!! it's not a diesel

[float_6969]

Naw, diesels run like 17:1

[themadscientist]

Mine runs 21:1. Whoops, (waves hand and uses Jedi mind trick) I didn't post this, you have heard nothing.

[float_6969]

Yea, well I used my Vader parts lifting abilities and just chucked a cast turbo manifold at you

[ca18datsun510]

i have faith in you madsci, i remember you speaking of this forbidden manifold many moons ago...

or something

[themadscientist]

Nobody has a clue, I asked around. I would cut the flange off the upper manifold and two carb flanges off another and fab it if I were you.

[themadscientist]

Yea, well I used my Vader parts lifting abilities and just chucked a cast turbo manifold at you

Found a can of Devcon. Depending on what the compression ratio works out at I may be game on (not a CA though, sorry)

[float_6969]

Nothing you can say or do will redeem you from owning a diesel. Sorry TMS, you not only loose, but you fail at life as well.

I'm just playing, I'd actually love to have a little diesel car for the fuel economy.

[r34 gtr]

not to mention the gardening applications of a tiny econo box with a diesel. just think of all the tree stumps you could pull out with it.

[float_6969]

gobs of low end torque + great fuel economy = FTW!
