Hi,

I am after a turbo on my CA18DET, that can produce 350-400 bhp but yet give me positive boost and performance at 2000rpm+ or thereabouts, is there such a beast?

Gt25r with .86 Ar should get you 350-380hp at the wheels.

Hi Mark,

This is the link that I forgot to send you.

Is a GT25r really likely to give 350-380RWBHP?

Ah you mean this, the GT25/40r, no the GT25r.

Never will this spool up ~2k, ~4k maybe.

I live in the middlle of London UK and the traffic is bad, so something that boosts earlier is better for me!

You say you have the CA18DETT which is a very rare motor being the fact that is twin turbocharged. Do you have a photo of it in its natural state? I know of them and have studied CA18s for a while, but have never seen one.

Soz if I have confused everyone but it is a CA18det, I got carried away from having a VG30DETT!
