Hey guys, I have done soem extensive work on my ca18det...

Specs are

Jun 280/290 10.25mm split cams,tomei Valve springstomei Cam gears,Tomei solid lifter setuptomei 1.2mm Headgasket, CP PistonsEagle RodsPorted and polished intake and exhaust aswell as combustion chambersNitrated crankCustom intake manifold90mm Throttle bodyHKS Cast iron top mount manifoldtial 42mm External wastegatePWR water to air intercooleros giken twin plate clutchtomei short shiftertomei 2 way lsd.....1000cc Sard injectorssard fprThe usual other lil toys...

Now Im looking for a t4 flanged turbo, What hks,garrett or precision turbo should i go for..... Garrett I was thinking gt35R with a .63 housing.

But what other turbos are out there that could produce an easily 600Hp, Would be nicish to spool up - (better spooling than a gt35R), somthing around or cheaper priced than the garret gt35r.....

Thought pics, Whateber would be greatful. thanks guys..... Would like fullboost by 5000rpm.

All depends on your final power output goal. A GT35R will provide enough hot air to support 600hp and provide decent spool-up. I hope this car is strictly a track car because if those are the correct durations of your camshafts, you might be disappointed with your low and some mid end performance. Did you buy those cams from guy in the U.S. ? They are more suited for a hot N/A set-up in my opinion, but you will have fun with the top-end aslong as the machine work was done correctly on the head. Good luck and let us know how things turn out.

Correct I brought my cams from duax machine. Machining on the head is immaculate, Clearances are perfect... Just have to get the shims to the right thickness after we had to grind the test shims to the correct size.

Other thing i was thinking was along the lines of a precision pt62 or a pt67 with a .58 A/R... But will a P trim be too big?

This is going to be my weekend/Takeout to special events + drag meets.... btw... Lol with a bit of daily driving.

thanks
