Just thought I'd share this new project with you guys. I never have time for my own stuff, but I enjoy having patrons bring me their sick dreams and tell me to make them come true. This my friends is something Rare. This is a B13 sentra stuffed with a CA18DET with custom header manifold, ball bearing GT30?? turbocharger, huge FMIC, custom 3 inch aluminum intercooler piping, my old custom transmission, SDS engine management system (to be installed) and possibly 72lb/hr injectors (to be installed) as well as a gang of other stuff I get to add on. I'm not going to dwell on this as I will be taking my time with this, but here's some pics of the car as it sits in my yard:









Later,

Dee

Is this how you bought this car or when did you start this? Looks cool! The engine looks great in there, and clean. Looks like it has a lot done to it. Good job.

I don't think he know this, but he will find out. He has a nice suspension on the car, but I don't think it's going to stop those wheels from breaking loose. I love ball bearing turbos. Those things spin at the slightest of touch and his is no exception. Ought to be something to fun to drive .

Nice way for Nissan to represent the FF platform! Hope that the turbo works great, bigger isn't always better. Best of Luck! Keep it original.

Sorry guys! I cannot take full credit on this one. I did not put the CA18DET into this car, I only urged him to do the project and provided him the necessary hardware to pull it off. My job is to sort out the mess, install a standalone, bigger injectors, change the axles, try and reposition the engine, install intercooler, fuel pump, gauges, boost controller, and anything it will take to make it run and run effectively. I promised a ready date in two weeks, so I'll be busy because I still need to do my own car before an going on next month in which I'll be unveiling (Possibly for the 1st time at moroso motorsports park) multiple CA18DET power vehicles, but all under a different chasis code.

As for JDM badges, I seriously doubt it, but then again, it's not my car, either. This ought to be very interesting because I don't know where to begin .
