[CAfast]

what turbo lines work well with the CA??...i have heard the TAKA lines work well...but which ones??...they have different fits and stuff like that...and if i buy the TAKA SR lines...how do i make it fit to the block??...

Email TAKA. Tell them you have a CA18DET that you're wanting lines for. They'll get you the right stuff. IDK why he doesn't just make it a separate listing for people...

Pretty much Taka lines are highly regarded among the Nissan SR/CA community. I have personal experience with Mr. Taka himself (the maker of the lines) and although the lines are a bit on the expensive side, you are paying for stunning customer service

Anywaysm the Taka lines are really well made with AN fittings so really strong and almost bullet proof. The stock hardlines are just a ***** to get back on as you have to do rediculous amounts of bending as they have to be 'perfectly oriented' in order for them to go back to thier desired locations.

You can buy the SR lines are they are bascically the same EXCEPT (dont forget this part) you are going to need the OIL FEED FITTING/adapter FROM THE SIDE OF THE BLOCK TO THE TURBO!! When you order it, just specify it in the paypal payment. Thread size should be M1.00x1.25 (if I remeber correctly) if you want to pick one up at your local autostore instead.

Anything else contact TAKA. They are very keen on emails and such and customer service is second to none!!

I'm running these lines and well and are very happy with them. I got them a long time back, before it was well known that the adapter they send dosn't work for the CA. I actually found another 90* fitting and drilled and tapped the block to make the fitting work. Luckily I was rebuilding the motor so it wasn't too big of a deal.

Please excuse my ignorance, but where is coolant run from to the turbo. Is it on the back of the block and if so where is the return for the coolant. My motor never had colant lines hooked up to the turbo, but I need to run them on my new turbo. I am assuming the holes where probably just blocked off on my motor, so what size fitting will i need for the coolant feed and return to the block.

I hope that made sense. Also, if you have any pics could you post them. Thanks.

coolant feed is around back of head/under plenum.....it tee's off of the heater core hose that sends coolant to your heater matrix under the dash.
