Congrats dude!! That is one sweet ute!! Over here in South Africa they only use the 4AGZE motors, but the CA18DET is so much more nicer!!! Ive just finished my 1600 Escort Turbo Kent that ive used CA18DET pistons and L16 rods

Sounds feroucious, do want haha top #OOPS# mate!

oh yeh its not to bad.. Ll its funny when your at traffic lights, then u get the young guys like do a skid, an they take off fast to show off... but then you LOL at them when you just hit boost an smokes the tyres... most the time i take off in 2nd coz first just skids the wheels even when taking off slow as the clutch is either in or out, so you gotta rev it a bit to pop the clutch an not stall it LOL

This thing must crack and make you giggle like a school girl haha well done mate !

A similar grind for an sohc is 170usd in billet so Im sticking with
the SOHC 8v for now. Wont make anywhere near that power but it will
save boring out and a15 and stroking it with custom internals.

Nice work mate, that is some serious power for 16psi!! Will be an animal on 25! Can't wait to see what it runs.

as i said i dont drive like a wanker on the street, if i wanted to do that ill buy a commwhore

cam gears or cam shaft? gears were 399 and shafts were 800

plenum is just stock

Very impressive hp, just be careful not to wrap yourself round something.

I would seriously consider some good dual way adjustable konis at least.

Also is the plenum inlet manifold extrude honed or other?

How much where the cams?

good job
i am dreaming to do like that tuning on my 120y but i dont think that i could find the needed parts here in Egypt

Couldn't really tell ya godzilla.. its only on a run in tune, so im not thrashing it hard yet.. no car would wheel spin if you got throttle control, of course every car can get wheel spin if u rev or flat change it..

yeh i can put my foot flat at 140kph an light the wheels up but i rather not kill myself on the street either..
