So I have a 180sx with ca18det, and I'm in the process of building it up nicely, but I'm kind of stuck at what to do next here. Heres whats done so far:

Internally stock ca18det

K&N intake3" turbo back exhuast (Trust + Bings)FMICGreddy RS BOVWalbro 255 fuel pumpT28 turbo off an S14 blacktopHKS EVC IV Boost ControllerHKS Turbo Timer

I think thats it..

I'd like this car to hit somewhere in and around 300whp, and I'm kind of stuck at what comes next. Im thinking im about 210whp right now on stock boost. I definitely need some bigger injectors, around 550-600cc's.

But what can I do to tune this thing up to hit some big numbers? I dont want to go past stock boost on the T28 because I'll start leaning out. Any ideas and suggestions, I'm not cheap but I'm on a budget here. Let me know what you guys think.

seems that eprom is the most efficent and bang for you buck choice. others have done things such as Nistune and Power FC. I plan to go with the eprom choice once the secondary ECU gets here.

Exhaust maniinjectorsZ32 mafKA24DE TbFPRcam gears

are also good options and then you get into the internal work.

idk if you have done any radiator or fan upgrades but might want to check into keeping things cool

Thanks for the help. What do mean by ka24de "tb" ? When install the z32 maf is it just plug and play or do I have to tune it to work with the CA18?

TB stand for Throttle body. You can find them for dirt cheap.

You can get a good tuning too, and the t28 is good for around 17psi.

Yes you will need a tune in order to run the Z32 MAF. It does just wire in easily but you need to tune the ECU in order for the ECU to know that you are running the Z32 MAF.
