well i have been very indecisive these past few years on an engine setup,from A15 to CA back to A15 back to CA......
ANYWAY
i have finally found a setup i like.
CA18D
going to take a CA18DE motor, take off the EFI and put carbs on it. since the intake will go to my passenger side(LHD) i will have 0 clearance issues.
now my questions.
1)does anyone know if there is an intake for carbs available? or will i have to have one made?
2) do i have to just rip off the EFI and hook up the carbs and tune them? or is there more involved?
3)Who wants the EFI intake?(lol)
4)will weber 40's work? or will 45's be nesessary?
also, i am lazy, so can anyone direct me to the maddat mounting kit for the CA?
thanks for any help you can offer

lol www.maddat.com.au and there is a link on the page that has all the 1200 stuff available the CA stuff in in there

first thing you should see is the CA kit

well i dont know how you would go about timing it cos you would need to sort out the ignition as the CA has a computer to do all the work and you could try to adapt a dizzy to it or run a crank angle sensor and then run that to a module or something to do the rest of the work for you

i would go for 45s and use the standard manifold (bit with the butterlfys in it) and try to mount the webers to that by weldin the weber flanges onto it

i was thinking about this setup but then i figured out all the iwring so im goin for DET

And as Jamie would say watch out for the Governator! Arnie would be all over you like a terminator about the smog laws.

what about a CA20?

Ca18de on carbs! win win win!

My old setup:

Registering interest now.
there is a certain sigma dizzy that can be modded to fit, cant remember what series of sigma, but its a elec of a 2.6 astron.
Runs the same style of inside parts as the series 2 bluey dizzy, but they run in the oppisite direction from memory.
Will also have to adap a mount to bolt up to where the existing ca18 CAS went.

Webber manifold are available, but uber rare :(
I have one of these, it was the first one seen in years of hunting down ca18 bits in japan.

40's or 45's will be fine.
get some huge cams ground up, use ca16de pistons for higher compression.

Tuf110, im interested to see how and what youve mounted them bike carbs too, I assume they are softmounted, but to what?
modified standard ca18 butterfly manifold peice?

Jake are those Keihin's bit small for your 1.8? I like the idea of a carburetted CA but it might be more hassle than you think..

Or....
