haha you're going to trust the internet over the certified engineer who's practically the one registering your car? but yeh, pretty sure that's true
drag setup im assuming?
like 1200ute said, just buy cheapies for rego

Quote:

^pretty much exact plans, maybe just one of those ecu's with just one fuel map (spitfire?), no sensors or anything so it's nice and simple and clean, efi does my head in sometimes haha

10 year plan would be h1v8 though

yeh currently running a dirty ca20e. so im assuming i can get a ca18de in and running for about $1500, and then do work as i go from there, keeping in mind im still only 20 and still at uni haha.
if i was gonna run busa i'd be tempted to just run the motor straight on it's own with standard 6spd sequential dog cut box, when it breaks get a billet gearset from a busa drag bike, run one of those forward/reverse boxes behind it. dunno about engineering but yeh haha
currently looking at maybe getting a new brakes setup for it, wilwood or something, not sure, havent really looked yet

240hp i could definitely live with! any rough guess on total cost for a build of that power? and yeh multiple ratios plus my god are they beautiful

well it's just steel tubed so in theory i should be able to just cut off and slightly modify the mounts off my old diff onto the winters but yeh, eventual plan is a 4 link.
and yeh i've been in a baby grand for a short drive which use the exact same diff as mine, awesome mechanical whine, especially from the straight cuts, im looking forward to it! haha
baby grands oddly enough have a gross 3 link design

and yeh does anyone know if there's ca18de itb mainfolds out there? or custom jobby?
also if anyone knows a cheap ca18de for sale lol

yeh well im thinking for now, get a ca n/a, spend a little bit getting extractors, maybe itb's, aftermarket ecu and from there decide on whether or not to go for a better motor/wait for it to blow up haha, ca18de will be easiest
turbo is tempting but i hate the lag etc so i'd look at running an anti lag setup, and it'd be a bit of work haha

haha thanks guys yeah it's a winters. and yeh that price includes axles, hub assemblies, 2 rotors and 2 sets of quick change gears.
unsure about a motor yet, thinking either worked n/a ca18 or a 4ag 20v, but it's already got a ca20 in it so ca18 swap will be heaps easier, and with some quads, 4-1's more compression etc should be a pretty decent engine.
other option is ca turbo but i kind of want that tough n/a response

so not sure who will appreciate this but i have a winters diff currently in the mail for my ute, a 7" quick change with alloy centre hubs etc, will weigh approx, 55kg fully assembled, can take 350hp+ and can change the ratio in 2 minutes, i ordered 2 sets of ratios, 3.8 and 4. 6 hahaha get some power out of anything with a 4.6 :D
ordered with a wedgelock lsd but also got the adaptor for an extra $20 which will lock it in the time for an axle swap, half an hour.
3950, delivered, dunno if customs will bust my balls yet, another $400 i guess
will post pics once its in

bigger=less heat, more power, more lag
smaller=less lag, ease of fitment, more heat

i'd be leaning towards smaller but its personal preference, if it was me i'd be running anti lag also haha
