Hey dude 160kW is ok.. don't lose hope just yet.

I am still in the same boat. My CA has all the goodies in the top and bottom ends. Running forged bits, 270/9.25, solid lifters, autronic smc/cdi, Garrett gt28/76R (0.63 ex), and mine topped out at 188kW. We didn't do much in the way of dialing in the cams before I lost interest 2 or more years ago. I'm not wasting anymore time on it for now. I since swapped out the bigger turbo for a 2nd-hand HKS 25/30, and it's more fun to drive, but still not as frightening as a bone stock 5.7L Calais. I'll get back to optimising the Datto during my long service leave next year. Which will be in time for the Sydney 2011 Datsun Nationals.

I think the tuner has a lot to do with things.

ps. also keep in mind that a bone stock CA18det will pull between 85 and 95kW at the rear wheels on a dyno, so almost 100% increase in output is not to be sneezed at.

1000c they are huge injectors, won't they support approx 700hp?

thought it was a bit much for a standard ca18det , what power are u looking at in the future and how much boost to achieve this cause with that setup u should be able to crank some big boost and get big kw numbers.i want to do a similar setup in my ute i want to achieve around 200kw at the wheels when finished, gl with ur datto sounds tough keen to see pics.

well its full balanced, forged and hpc coated pistons with shot peened rods bigger rod bolts. cometic head gasket 1.5 mm thick brings comp to 8:1 and held together by arp head studs 1000cc injectors t28/76r garret turbo 3 inch staneless steel exhaust tomei adjustable cam gears and tomei 270 duration cams with 8.80 lift all ran by wolf v 500 and sent through standard 5 speed with heavy duty clutch into r31 diff with 3:9s and tuned by mikes dyno tuning if i new how to put picks up i would but yer think that i will get heaps more power out of it only on base tune atmo cause running it in

160 kw is a pretty decent number!! And yeah tell us the specs

what other mods have you done mate,thats decent out of a stock ca18det..

Sounds good What else does your setup conist of?

hi all just letting ya know got my ute going it made 160kw at the wheels out of ca18det motor with wolf v500 computer on 15 psi pump fuel. what u reckon
