Hey guys thanks for your input and questions. Useless comments include people saying that a ca18 cant handle that much power and or boost etc etc when they don't have professional knowledge or experience tuning engines especially when using E85.
The plenum will fit however the external waste gate will need to be repositioned. This is not an expensive or complex job.
As far as the internals of the engine go. Its has standard rods and pistons etc. High quality piston rings and bearings have been used. The main weak-point of any CA18 is the head gasket. Although if the motor doesn't see temperatures above its normal operating limit this is never a problem. This is why a triple core radiator has been used.
The tuning of this engine is done very well and the parts have been selected to make the overall flow and efficiently of the motor as good as it can be. Combining this setup with the cooling qualities and high octane of E85 is how it makes such high power reliably.
