my revised chamber design to increase swirl towards the centre of the cylinder and to remove dead squish areas for better quench. Also using LPG so second sparkplug is redundant.

just found a finnish site with a turbo ca18et
thats putting out 443nm and 258kw at 5500rpm.
He used aftermarket rods but no reason why de
or det rods wont survive with a little work.

350hp is not bad with 450nm as the cam is stock
and the manifold is restrictive compared to the
later one. Head is stock also.

street racing, not nice or good comarison, the left hand car hit the brakes earlier too.

but has potential in lpg turbo format, if my stright lpg lseries is anything to reportedly go by. even piggy impressed with stright gas to 4000rpm rough tune, sometimes 5 speeds are not eenough

dets and des are easy to find i got 3 atm but on the look 4 more lol
2 in pic and one just out of pic most complete

the 8 valve ones are the harder ones to find.

Those guys are buddies Ive been on the forums with them and the
left hand car already passed the marker as he got there first.
Most admit the 8v with an intercooler, bigger turbo and better
ca20e manifold is only just behind the 16v.
George Fury could have gone fj20det instead of z18et but it
had enough midrange to make it competitive.

Mick the good thing is with the L, you can always just add a
Z turbo head and the engineer will have to pass it as its a 1.6.
Why weight rule even a 1200 deluxe at 720kg x 2.5 = 1800cc turbo is possible
Im only allowed a ca16 with turbo by the same rule and 2lt NA.

Nick, Are you going to be the future sole supplier/developer of CA18DE/T :)


After studying some after market cylinder heads for Harleys and Chevs
I will aim for a smaller swirl chamber to maintain the mix more central
in the cylinder as per Jmacs suggestions.
