Matty- I have never actually done a CA conversion so dont know all the costs, awhile ago a thread was posted about CA conversion costs people said "easy over 7000". I would have thought 3-4000 would get you out of trouble??????? I am just going by other's

I guess if your goal was going to only be 200hp a-series would be the go but any more a CA would be more cost effective

Cheeers Mark

i think lower than figure to 130hp then a series would be the go, any higher go for a conversion

i'm not sure if anyone else is impressed but 12.5!!!!

that is unbelievable from an a series! my ca slammed me back in the seat using all its twin cam 1.8l fuel injected technology for a 12.6.

Finn that is truly amazing, awesome job!

Hi Mark
I posted in that thread too. Keep in mind that when people ask for the total cost of the CA conversion that's what they are given. To me, this means diff, cooling systems, suspension and brake upgrades etc, etc, etc. To build and install a correctly engineered 200hp A series turbo would require you do all this anyway.
Keep in mind I'm not talking about your basic suck thru or blow thru J pipe set up as there is little point in comparing these to a CA anyway due to the large power difference.
Anyway it's all food for thought.
Regards Matty

yeah man be crazy to get smoked by an A series down the quarter. after i saw the very clean thread of the A series with nos and quads (im sure we all know about that one) i was thinking i should sell my SR front cut

31128kt

FAR out!!

Im very impressed. I said to my mates as soon as u run an 11 sec 1/4 im putting my a series back in... Looks like i could be going in soon

15.8 NA, 185/55 X 15 #8013

Went to the drags last night

best of 16.82 @77.8 mph with a 2.5 sec 60 ft. into a 7knot headwind

best 60 ft 2.3
best mph 78.2

Leaning out really badly at speed under load so I was changing at 6000- should rev to 7k happily when I rejet the carb.

current setup:
1200 ute
54rwkw
A15, extractors, straight through exhaust, 23/26, mystery cam, most likley a 70/30.
4.11 diff, 185/60R14

So with a decent start & no headwind a 16.5 should be possible with this setup.

I did beat a VT family sedan
