1.6mm head gasket? What sort of effective compression ratio does that net you?

Post by **CA19DET** » Fri Aug 06, 2004 4:19 am

i have no idea what my compression is like now, between the 8.5:1 pistons, the 1.6mm head gasket and the fact that both the head and block were milled/skimmed to make them perfectly flat/true, who knows what my final compression is... tell you what though, it runs great in the low rpm, i have not hit 5psi boost yet...

I know had you feel; about a month after I got my CA I was at the SEMA show in AC talking to one of the Garrett engineers. When I mentioned I had a CA he looked down his nose at me and basically asked why I didn't get an SR. **** him.

For sure =\ people underrate the CA. Sure SR stock has more hp... but i've "heard" (emphasis on heard) that a CA with intake and performance exhaust can keep up with a stock SR because it has a shorter stroke *not really sure if this is true or not* on drag. but hey... i want CA for its low end power =] i like low end power on streets ;D but other than that. it can score points in shows because it is pretty much a "unique" upgrade to the car. Another possibility is full 180sx and having the original 180sx motor which can catch the eye of a judge (especially since my model is the same model that the CA came out for the 180s)

But hey. f' that guy

garrett eng sucks go TOMEI!

man i try not to think about money...

JDM CA18DET 8 port head Engine = $800TOTAL SEAL rings & JE Forged Pistons - 8.5:1 CR 84mm = $600Crower Froged Rods & ARP Rod Bolts = $700ARP Head & Main Studs & Fasteners = $200HKS 1.6mm Metal Head Gasket = $120TOMEI 260* 8.8mm lift Cams, Adjustable Cam Gears, TOMEI valve springs = $900Custom Headwork = $200New Nissan oil & water pump, belts etc... = $300Custom Top Mount T3 Tubo Manifold = $500Custom O2 pipe = $100Turbonetics T3/T04E 50T .63 turbo = $625

those are just off the top of my head prices, some stuff i bought bundled with other parts ( i got pistons & rings, injectors, the turbo and wastegate all together for about $1800)

i hope to make ~400whp but only daily drive it at about 320whp...
