i am not talking about the ca18det, but the jdm ca18de.
can anyone tell me the advantages and disadvatages of running a high compression turbo engine? and has anyone done this. I fried my original ca18det andam looking into some options and came across the na ca18de and a friend of mine told me its been done but if i go this route instead of waiting for another ca18det what are the problems i would run into. i will be changing the injectors, and swapping over everything.
Turbo ca18de
Re: Turbo ca18de (Ca_laurier)
Float_6969 on here is running a high compression CA. But he is doing it on a DET block and forged pistons. Big difference. DE block has crappy cast pistons, no oil piston squirters, no crank girdle...Ca_laurier wrote:i am not talking about the ca18det, but the jdm ca18de.

Re: Turbo ca18de (c-rad)
well i have a ca18det block, but the walls in the 4th cylinder of scratched to hell. could i swap everything over and use the ca18de block but the ca18det internals?
Re: Turbo ca18de (Ca_laurier)
Why not bore the DET block and get some oversized forged pistons? Also, I believe that you would have to drill and tap the DE block for an oil feed for the turbo.Ca_laurier wrote:well i have a ca18det block, but the walls in the 4th cylinder of scratched to hell. could i swap everything over and use the ca18de block but the ca18det internals?

Re: Turbo ca18de (Ca_laurier)
DE block has a girdle. At least the JDm one does. I am not a dogmatic follower of piston oilers. I would prefer to use forgies and save the oil that would have shot out the squirters to keep the crank floating on the bearings.
