The CA18 playing field has gotten tougher?

Need I say more: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33632

Looks pretty! Stainless steel isn't cheap, so I myself would be interested at the cost of these puppies. The down side of this one is, who's gonna find out where the reserve is at. Not everybody is a fan of the Tial and turbonetics wastgates and this seem to be your only option. Hmmm, I wonder why all of a sudden there's an addition in product line-up as well. Also, be aware of runner diameter, but other than that seems like a visually sweet piece that you guys may want to check out.

Which leaves room for the log style FWD/RWD CA18DET manifolds which would look very similar to this unit in which I sport on my G/F's CA:













So implore all to explore your options as our CA18DET engine is starting to gain some some support here in the U.S.....We have always been a quiet and humble community, but here lately the CA is no longer one of the sweetest secrets in the nissan engine family. Long Live the SR20

that thing is gorgeous. i'm about to sell my manifold and get that and a t3/t4. but i'll get mine on the road first. i'll just get that and a beastly t3/t4 when i get to college, lol. it's definately pretty though. i hope the reserve is about the same as their other one, but i doubt that would happen, lol.

that looks very nice.

dee, what size t3/t4 do you think would be good for my set up? you know what is done to my motor (i need cams damnit, lol), but what should i go with if i wanted to hit that 400whp goal but still be able to drive the car daily?

That same turbo, but with a .48 is excellent for both big boost and driveability in an everyday car. The .63 is more for squeezing the extras on the dyno. If that manifold has a reserve of around $500, I would say give it a swing, but I seriously doubt that. I know for a definite fact that they are just testing the waters to see a show of interest. The turbo monting flange sucks and those almost always will give you hell down the road with the threads going bad and bolts breaking off. I seriously believe one of our members is affiliated with SS autochrome or I could be wrong.

they are deff watching us.... kinda makes me paraniod.

so who is goin to be the first of us to be in a import magzine, im pretty sure it would be the first CA from the states to be in one.

[nab911]

I saw one once... but yeah he was in the uk and had a chromealussion s13... was kinda gay

Oh and the wastegate flange on the mani looks very poorly designed... i dont think my wastegate would have fit on there.

[float_6969]

It's not just T3/T4 either. They finally have an equal length T28 mani for the CA too. I'm bidding on it on Tuesday, SO DON'T ANYBODY BID AGAINST ME DARNIT!http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

[Ichi-Go]

That T28 manifold looks real good I hope you get it Float.

[wangless]

good luck float

[rico05]

Tell us how you like it float. If it is any good, I will be needing one in a few months.

[float_6969]

Just incase any of you are still watching that, I'm not going to let it go, I'm just bid sniping....

[wangless]

bid sniping... hahaha, nice

[nab911]

Lol thats the ticket... i got a bad *** altimeter for my friends 4 runner 2 days ago from jarco by doing that.

[float_6969]

I don't think i'm going to be home when the bid end though. Doesn't make me very happy....

[nab911]

Well get a friend to do it for u

[iliketocrash]

i'm curently highest bidder on one of the t3 manifolds that ss autochrome has on ebay. i should have the manifold soon and i'll be sure to tell you all how it works out. but i think i might send it out to get ceramic coated first. we'll see.
