How hard can a CA18DET be worked?

just wanna know coz i am hoping to pick mine up on thursday

There was a zoom magazine a couple of years ago that had a silvia with about 350kw out of a CA!

how deep are your pockets? possibilities are endless if you can fund it

well my mechanic will obviously be doing it, but i will helping so i hope that will cut the costs down on it...just for a rebuild he said about $2500

I'll fill in some blanks for my wife. That's $2500 for a complete strip down, clean out, rebuild, so if we provide the performance parts he'll dial it in for us (I thought you wanted to do the work yourself Kirstie).

Maybe some info on turbo sizes, pistons, headwork, injectors, computers, etc, whatever other guys have had success with.

We have also talked about NOS, which requires modified fuel and ignition systems, so any help there would be great too.

yes luke i know i will b doing the work well some parts, but i will need andrews help...prob dave's more so then andrews

is that rebuilt with new forged pistons and rods? .. theres a 1200ute where i am running 400rwhp out of a ca. running 18.5grand worth motec in it tho. like tyrie said. how deep are your pockets?

Not 18.5K's worth, that's for sure. To start with probably just a set of cams, pistons, injectors, turbo and computer.

That's why we're looking at NOS, cheapest HP upgrade you can buy.

I know of a CA in a bluebird with a basic build with forged pistons and a GT2871 turbo and appropriate injectors and basic computer making 228rwkw.

What is the intended application of the car? All this talk to N20 Injection sounds like a dedicated drag car?
