Update with the CA18...pic heavy

[beans33]

Its been a while since I have posted on here. I look at it daily, and see other people getting their stuff together for the most part. After tearing the Ca down and doing small rebuild its almost time to start it up. Hopefully this weekend. Here are some pictures of the progress that has been made. Thanks to all the fellow CA'ers (you know who you are) for the help. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions. Special Thanks to Andy "Nasty" Vaughn @ Autovaughnperformance.com for all his help.

1. Got tired of the s*** Ebay manifolds cracking, so I ordered some bends and welded it up.










2. Holset Hx35 ... don't worry I have a smaller exhaust housing on it


3. New down-pipe for turbo



4. Fuel Rail -6 ends


5. Cometic HG, Arp studs, OEM oil pump, Tensioner, CP pistions .20 , AEM fpr, Nistune, 450cc for now.






6. Picked up a Euro cluster (150mph)

Looking good! Few ?'s though. Where are you putting the MAFS? And where did you get the Exhaust flange? That thing looks NICE!

I am running a blow through set up on the cold side. Odd you ask, my original plan was to just cut of the flange off a ebay manifold but with a little researching I found a company in New Zealand that had it. It cost me about 100 bucks to get it here. Everything is stainless steel except the t3 flange I went cheap with it.
