what turbo do u use on ur ca18det???

[tupac03602]

this isnt for my infomation or anything i figure since everyone uses aftermarket turbos and i/c ppl can list what thay have and why. also pros and cons if applicable.

[nomore_mr2]

hks t04r turbo and a trust 3 row intercooler. i am gonna change to a hks gt3240 this summer. no more t51r to big i found out so i am gonna try a bb turbo.

[tupac03602]

cool

I plan on a HKS GT2530 BB turbo, since it spools quickly, and I've modest power goals. That will be mated to a HKS exhaust manifold and O2 pipe, and depending on what front bumper I decide on, I might use a HKS Type-S intercooler kit or just a custom Spearco 3-row core.

I use a T3/T04E 60-1 with stage III wheels which comes on at about 4000rpm and continues on till the end of time. I chose this turbo after years of research on this motor in determining what turbo is perfect for dual purpose (street/strip) and I have concluded this is the best to use because a full T04 will cause you to rev too much into the engine's powerband to be enjoyed on the street. Now if you're setting up for Drag-Race only, then a T4 will be sufficient or a T51 with a crap load of nitrous. Now hear this, for all you new ca18 turners, you do not need a T66 or T78 or even a T51 to wake this engine up. THis is not an SR or KA! It is much smaller and loves medium duty turbos because it has the characteristics to fill in the blanks along the way. 1809cc's of badness, I tell you:D .

^^Think acura integra, only loads better,

HKS GT2530 or is it 2540, well its one of those i just need the car to be running more reliable to put her on !!

Turbonetics T3/T04E w/ 360 thrust bearing.50 trim T04E Compressor w/ .50 A/R76 Trim T31 turbine w/ Stage III .63 A/R

good for 30 psi max and ~ 450whp on a 1.6-2.2 engine.max efficientcy at 15-25psi.

[nomore_mr2]

your gonna need more then that deltagate to regulate boost

[JDM_1990_S13]

i know, and i am going to need bigger than those pesky little 550 injectors, but i'll start small and work my way up.

[nomore_mr2]

that is true. i guess i go over kill first off. 1000cc injectors should get the job done lol.

You can call me the "Mad Scientist"

No I call you Xero, you can call ME THEMADSCIENTIST.:rant

As long as I get my residuals

[meggala]

I'm whacking an sr turbo on to my ca as the ca one died not happy I was planning on fitting an rb 25 bb turbo to mine eventually on an hi-mount manifoldmeggala

[CA18 RS13]

a norris designs T28/T3 hybrid. it's nothing huge but it gets the job done. 300rwhp is all i am looking for and hopefully i will have it after i put in the 550's ive had sitting around for a while as well as a 1.4mm headgasket at around 1.2ish bar.

"xeros my hero"

haha!!!! don't I feel special

[meggala]

Ca18 rs13 you goal should be veryachive able we have some one here in OZ getting close to that power figure.it sounds like the right combo for the ca meggala

[boost_boy]

I would say with that Hybrid turbo, in order to extract 300whp you will be pushing it right to the end of it's efficiency zone. It's still part T-2 small and I have seen those turbos get blasted after constantly trying to sustain 18 psi of boost! Maybe Norris Designs units are better! What's the cost of one of those turbos U.S.$$$$'s?

[boost_boy]

How I know this? I owned a T28/T3 hybrid blower and I trashed it twice, though it worked pretty well spiking as much as 22psi.

[undertaker]

i use a T3 hybrid, series IV rx7 compressor and housing and early skyline core and turbine/housing, not perfect but enough to make my bluebird faster than any family car should be. the intercooler is off a sigma, virtually identical to a vr4 cooler and three times larger than standard.
