Ive been daily driving her for a little over 1000 miles now and still no problems other than a slight oil leak from my turbo oil return line, and that transmission noise i hear every once in a while.

So what do you guys think? I absolutly love my ca!!

BTW: does anyone have a powersteering pump? My arms are sore from the drifting event!

I demand info on the VPC. How does it work for ya? I have been looking for one myself.

Clean swap. Me likey!

[sdtouge]

looks goood man, get your ps hooked up lol unless you want some broken fingers or something lol.

[tyrannix]

what is that split off right on teh cold pipe right before the throttlebody? where does that connect to?

[mikesim]

sweet swap man! how's the response?

[Bwana]

I've got a P/S pump off a 30k engine that I won't be needing (no P/S in the MG). Send me an email, bawana at frii.com.

Project is looking good!

Air regulator.

[ca18detdrift]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys!

rico05: The VPC is great! I once blew my intercooler piping off on the highway and it didnt affect my car, other than not being able to boost the car still drove fine since i dont require a MAF and it takes the air readings directly from the air intake manifod (like a honda). so i just kept on driving until i got home then fixed the piping. As for the tunning, it wasnt as hard as everyone said it was going to be. You can adjust the throttle response, air fuel ratio, and idle. Just turn the knobs and see how the car responds, pretty simple if you ask me. (im sure i can get it tuned alot better if i take it to a dyno, but its honestly not too hard). I have the actual manual if you want a copy. (or if you have any specific questions just ask).

tyrannix: Actually i dont know where that part connects to, i just pluged it, That pipe is an s14 Greddy cold pipe. There is another smaller pipe on the other side (you cant see) that connects to my intake manifold though.

mikesim: hmm my response... well this is my first turboed car so i cant compare it to anything else, and ive never driven another turboed car either. But i pretty much dont feel the "boost" until about 3k rpms +. It reaches maxs boost around 4-5krpms then either falls a little or remains steady.

TheColoradoQ: email sent =)

[dsastr_clan]

[silvia_ca18det]

[imprecation]

I've seen you in a few vids of you and your friend in his yellow Hachi, good stuff man I wish I lived in LV I'm trying to find a s13 down here in NC to put a CA in myself any reason to go with a RB20 over the CA18?

[ca18detdrift]

Youve seen videos? wow, thats funny, there are two guys with yellow 86's. One of them is "RAMGARAGE" here on this forum but he doesnt come on much. He's also building a ca18det for his silvia. We usually post on http://www.vegasdrift.com so if your ever in town check out that site to meet some of us. =)

[float_6969]

Vein Pressure Converter. You use it to convert a MAFS system to a MAPS system.
