yeah so this custom CA parts BS

[ch187]

so everyone says they are going to make cnc machine plug covers. blah blah. never happens.. i started working at a shop in town. we do everything, trying to stick to nissans and some dsms. we're all nissan guys with 240s. go figure. i mean the only motors we dont have are the rb20 and the 26. im the welder fabricator and looking for "custom parts" to make for our CA. we have a machinist but he have a lathe and press at the shop we just dont know how to use them. things im thinking to make rounds on.

ca cam gearscam regrindscoil covers(you guys NEED to give me ideas)hell..oil pans..Intercooler kits. specific. using precision cores and 2.5 and 3.0 stainless. heavy duty polished and tig welded.downpipesanything v band.bungsflangesmanifolds

etcetc

we get sick prices on motors and long blocks so im getting a CA long block for 250 that im using to mock up parts and over the winter build up my project. making my own t04 twin scoll manifold for a t04s. have my power fc picked out and ready go. note. i will crush full race and its ridiculous prices. im just trying to get things rolling. i can make virtually any pipe you think of. CA SR RB they are all here to mock up. tell me what you guys what you would like to see and how much you are willing to pay. or you guys just a bunch of broke bishez. if you need any bungs flanges or anything welded just let me know and we can work something out.

ITB adaptor.

[ragenasian]

TMS you want mine

I want to see pics first!!!!!

[themadscientist]

yes, yes I do.

[r34 gtr]

How 'bout some solid lifters?

[driftin8ez]

metal intake pipe so we don't have to ghetto rig something to work. Also make some Tomie replica coil covers.

[Masterdebater]

finally!!!! dude if i was good at fabbing stuff up id be all over everything hahacam gears is a must,MANIFOLDS!!!!,coil cover would be nice just a plain polished onelike tim said, solid liftersand i would LOVE to get some cams. if u were in cali id straight up give u my extra ca motor for free to fab up some stuff for us. if someone would ACTUALLY COME THROUGH with this it would be nice

[ilovecoupes]

metal intake pipe so we don't have to ghetto rig something to work.

ditto, cause mine is pretty riged.

And Im broke

And is your shop an engine distributor?

[tom@ica]

Crank Pully !!!

ITB adaptor.

yes yes yes yes yes... i almost forgot. i wouldnt mind doing some. what TBs would you use though?

ah yes another good one. definately. i can do them for z32 mafs to because we get 2.5" to 3.0" stainless reducers or any size for that fact and they are smooth. id make them to bolt straight to the compressor housing too..whatever, i can do whatever. good idea. i have a greddy intake so i didnt think about it.

cam gears will be a bit but i do want to do them. 340 for tomei are just crazy.

manifold is a definately yes! im doing one for myself so thats a given. just waiting to hone my skills with AC tig (aluminum)

ditto, cause mine is pretty riged.

And Im broke

And is your shop an engine distributor?

no we just get wholesale prices which are my prices. but we do get motors. good ones too. the rb25 clip we got had a full skyline front end in decent condition. nismo cluster. and some goodies. most the s13 clips have digital climate. we even stumbled onto a 98 s13 blacktop sr VX? some rare model that had a mines tuned ecu stock. hes make 280whp on the stock turbo. so im pretty sure we can get/ship you motors. we hand pick them.

crank pulleys will probably be with cam gears.

like i said we have inhouse lathe and milling machine. we could make cylinder heads if we wanted to.. we just dont know how to use the machines. yet. my buddies "training" himself right now. when i dont have something going on at the shop i'll be working on this stuff. all my **** right now. exhausts, downpipes, dumptubes, intercooler pipes will be all polished stainless. they look beautiful, ive already done some. this kind of thing just takes time especially the machining stuff. i just want to test the waters. see what you guys want and youve been awesome...

right now im just getting my car back up and running. my new spec r s15 turbo came today. its in but my **** o2 elbow (the flange) warped. ssac junk. it was running like **** so im already making a single piece o2 elbow/downpipe this weekend. dyno tuned again next week. dyno charts will be up and all.

also, the head tech here has fabricated exhausts for ever volkswagen and dsm. dyno tuned all of his designs, digitizes them and sends the designs to his guy and he can just order his own personal exhausts. we did one for a 1.8t jetta 2 weeks ago, dyno tuned before and after. made 40whp and 36lbft. i have charts for haters.. he said he would be more than happy to help design s13/ s14 exhausts and dyno tune them. they are full 3 inch with cat and muffler. i can show you an example if you guys are interested. i mean dyno proven exhausts for s chassis for under 600. its a deal. esp. for 40whp. let me know what you guys think.

yes yes yes yes yes... i almost forgot. i wouldnt mind doing some. what TBs would you use though?

You would be wise to tailor it to one of two commonly available throttles. TWM ITBs which have the same flange as a DCOE sidedraft carburettor or RB26 throttles which are similar flages clocked slightly different.

[ch187]

true. we are doing a NA KA vert build for a buddy of mine. ITBs. so its something we will have to conjure up relatively soon.

oh i forgot. we are doing custom fuel rails too..thats is already in the works. dash 6 for the KA build.

[ca18detgabby]

I would like to see something other than SSAC **** as far as exhaust mani's go....... Ive always wanted a turbo back exhaust instead of running a DP, Test pipe, and cat-back...... one solid piece would seem to flow better.

the IC piping is a biggy as without ordering expensive kits(that still seem to have fitment issues) the SSAC kit is the only real cost effect choice and that requires lots of ghetto ridging(been looking into 180sxfaktory as a better choice but idk).

as for the coil covers. anything is freakin sweet. hell even a Nico stamp or just a shop name(you make it you should get some repping) is sweet, vents to keep them cool would be nice, but anything at this point is a plus.

[ilovecoupes]

no we just get wholesale prices which are my prices. but we do get motors. good ones too.

oh, i was going to say. $250 for a long block, is crazyCan you get deals on just bare CA's, without manifolds? would be awesome to have a spare.

And I think if you do intercooler kits. Maybe do a radiator mounted kit, even a top mounted kit. No one has done that.

[ch187]

intercooler kits will be soon. most ca owners are cheap asses though. i wanted to do stainless piping with a 350hp precision core. ssac cores are horrible when it comes to efficiency. how much are you guys willing to spend on this stuff. this is my next question.

[iliketocrash]

well lets put it this way. if you say something rediculous like $100+ for a fuel rail then someone is gonna call bull**** :-) so just price what you feel is fair.

[ch187]

well coming from a couple of guys that install full 6pt roll cages for less than $800. you can come to our shop and ask for a welded diff. we do them for 200 installed prices will definately be fair. fuel rails will be under 100 promise. right now i think im going to start off with intercooler kits because im doing one for myself. i'll take pics, dyno charts etc.. im doing mine with a tial 50mil bov. we shall see how it turns out. anyone else interested in one?

[kapower06]

After the results are back I'll be down for one if the price is right... $400-$450 ish... But a 350hp core wont do. I'll need around a 550hp core. But deffinetly interested. Keep me posted

[ch187]

thats fine dude. next step is the 650hp core. the one im going with. i can get the 825hp core too. think of this, the 600hp core is about 350 itself, maybe a little cheaper when i find out my price. 530 for the 825hp core and 270 for the 350hp core. i need to see at least 150 for the pipes. so i would give a rough estimate of 500 for a 650hp kit. thats still a deal because of the core. pipes are same **** we use for exhaust. 304L stainless. we can work something out. monday i will find out my prices and how much it will cost me for material and i'll give you a firm price. i personally wont see much because most profit will go to the shop. im doing it for you bishez.

[MeanGreenS13]

id like to find a way to get custom valve covers to replace my beaten and banged up OEM ones. The whole FULL RACE FABRICATED look is something i like alot and do not mind one bit showing off my coilpacks... i dont like coilpack covers anyway, just traps heat.

any idea?

phil

[r34 gtr]

Something using ITB's off a 1000cc bike would be ideal. GSXR1000 or R1 ITB's are like 45mm and very cheap to get used. I mean, I havnt tried to find RB26 ITB's, but I am willing to bet people will charge you far, far out the a$s for them. I would much rather get some off a bike for $50.

[ch187]

so you want valve covers? thats an interesting idea. they wouldnt be that hard either. if you want them aluminum they will have to wait. but as some know im a stainless steel freak. when i go with my next setup with the t4 and junk, i had plans to make valve covers with aluminum -6 an bungs welded on for a dual catch can setup. i like the idea though.

[MeanGreenS13]

thats the kind i want, since mine is gonna be a pretty much straight up race car

[ca18hatch]

I would be interested in a few things. First, an intercooler kit good for 350hp. One that will fit a ca with t3/t04e. Also, a dump pipe for that same turbo setup. I dont mind paying a little more for good quality and fitment. I hate trying to ghetto rig stuff to make it fit.

[ch187]

thats the kind i want, since mine is gonna be a pretty much straight up race car

yep. thats what i was thinking. i did teach my self how to weld aluminum in 20minutes today.. give me a few more weeks and i'll be good on that.

biggest thing right now for all of this stuff is material. im working on prices and cost. we get amazing deals on bends and piping.

i'll probably be able to do a full polished stainless kit with a 350hp PTE core for around the 500 area. it will fit and it will look nice. remember the PTE cores are basically garrett cores and PTE endtanks. they are the best for the price. like i said i will get prices on my material. do mine (to see how long it will take) and go from there.

if im going to do anything other than stock CA locations i will need DETAILED photos, multiples. so i can draw it up, or if you dont trust that, send me your manifold and turbo and it will be a perfectly fit setup, beware this will be pricey, if i have to take off my setup and use my car to mock it up. but if i have some good pics it shouldnt be a problem. the downpipe will be no problem either. hit me up on [email protected] if you have any more questions.

[ch187]

in order to be worthwhile, it looks like a 650hp kit, polished stainless, tig welded. all couplers and clamps, 650. thats a hell of a deal for you guys. a guy came in with a fresh rb25 swap and still had the stock sidemount. big no no. we talked him into getting a custom kit from us. 1200 for the job. its precise, custom kits. if you need a kit other than that email me.

its going to be a busy weekend. the top secret supra is getting stripped for 1 of 3 top secret widebodys in the world. only one in the US. possible doing the v12 but thats not ok'ed yet. im doing a Stainless 2.5" dual exhaust on his turboII and finish getting his 3rd gen assembled. he said if i get it together this weekend he'd let me have it for a week. twin turbo 13b's are scary motors. next week i'll get some pipes mocked up and wait for the bends for the rb25 kit that im doing the following week. next weekend is the redline time attack that we have a booth at. been really busy.

[MeanGreenS13]

id love to see some valve covers honestly, im a FULL RACE kind of person, my car is being built for street strip, but more so strip than anything lol i just finished boxing in the frame underneath to strenthen and i cross braced it aswell with a built in removable driveshaft loop, they are gonna LOVE ME at the track haha

[kapower06]

$650 for a 650hp core and a set of stainless pipes sounds like a deal to me. Im gunna be running a gt3076r on a top mount mani. 2 in. outlet. Lemme know when its ready. also do you happen to have any pictures of the kit installed or any of your stainless welds? thanks again

-Jake

[ch187]

will, the media guy for the shop has some shots of my stainless welds i'll see if i can dig those up. im tigging a dual 2.5" ss exhaust for a turboII but he wasnt worried about the welds so i have been rushing it so i wont post those. after we get the show cars ready for redline next week, i'll get mine done and i'll post pics and dyno charts. like i said i have a **** load to do. i have 2 rx7s to get on the road. a fmic kit for a subbie sti to make, fmic kit for an rb25 swap, TS supra to get out for paint, we have to get dsm to 350awhp, and a turbo c-rx to 300hp, and an s14 sr harness to fix and get out. i'll keep you guys posted. these pipes are essentially exhaust pipes. polished and ready to hold an kind of boost you can throw at it. i can reduce 2.5 to 2.0 if needed. price isnt final, still have to talk to t. lane for prices on bends and whatnot. i have prices for intercoolers though. if you guys even want just a core i get good deals on intercoolers rated up to 4,000hp. air to air and air to water. i may to an air to water just for the hell of it. their kits come with lines pumps and fittings also.
