Hi all,
Just trying to sort out my parts for my CA18DET ute. I've done lots of research but when it comes to engine parts, i.e. boost controllers, catch cans, I haven't found too much info. I'm mostly after what I will need to get it going and maybe some easy improvements for now.
Thanks,
Philip

hey bud...
nice choice by the way
um well basically to get started and to do this the cheapest way possible, i would suggest just putting the motor in, get fuel pump, pre pump, filters and ####. then run your fuel lines..... then make the choice of what ecu ur going to run whether it be standard or aftermarket for later on upgrades....
there is heaps of ways u can do it.... i have gone the hole hog for the simple fact that i dont wanna do shi-t like 4 times over.... i have built a complete motor with 20thou over forged ross pistons, h beam rods, tomei cams and gears and new springs etc. atm my ute has twin vl fuel pumps with surge tank and all the gizmo but upgrading to a simple bosch 044...

i would suggest to u to get a different turbo such as a t28 bb garret huffer.... but all depends on how much ya wanna spend dude.
wat stage u upto..... let us know... would love to pass on info i have discovered throughout the build....

Thanks man,
I think I should have the parts I need then. I'm going to keep engine fairly stock for now. I live in Alice Springs and have been waiting for a really long time to get it done but should be getting it back soon so I can finish trial fitting before sending it back for final prep and colour.
