Sorry guys. Here's my email
Whats wrong with your motor wont it be easier to sort your motor out?
Its dead. The turbo seals were gone so I replaced the turbo then did the engine up but still not running properly.
Plus one injector is leaking. Spend 15k on it and its gona a year and a half and I still haven't used the car.
Just want to pull out that engine and stick another one in it
o ok good luck hope the new motor is 100% you know what they say the devil you know is better than the devil you dont. try source a running motor that u can test
I don't know whether to put in a SR20 one time or leave it stock
sr20 if you can but will cost a bit more
yeah. Let's see wat happens.
Thanks
Well I'm sure its just the luck of the draw, but when I got a jap CA engine to use it was the most painless experience ever! it was really fantastic, it smoked for the first 50km but was perfect after that. I have no regrets whatsoever and would get another jap import engine if I felt so inclined. I really miss that engine, lost it after my radiator gave up though so did a rebuild.
Yeah its a good engine. My other car ran perfect. I just like to get some big power now. Like a 2JZ or something
sacrilege nissan belongs with nissan not frankenstein jobs
Yeah. But it makes good power
Rather sounds like something is wrong with it, if it is really as lazy as you describe it sounds like the cam timing could be out or the mapping. Do you have a Dyno sheet just to compare the power output?
Most guys on the forum has done mods to the ca18dets, so it would be easy to compare the "expected" power you should put down. In any case, you only have a T28!!!! Dont expect T3/4 power from that small turbos, doesnt matter which motor you have. (Unless its 2 of the units fitted on something like the Rb26)
The was making better power before I did the engine and with the smaller turbo
Hey guys. I'm looking for a complete CA18 engine. Can u help?
Thanks
I have one but has run a big end bearing but otherwise is brilliant. New rings and head gasket fitted, gas flowed head, DE cam, TD04 turbo.
Yes, got a complete one with 40 000km genuine mileage on it. Done an SR20 conversion. Have had offers but no money in bank, so still available. Motor and box are 100% complete. ECU, radiator, FMIC, pipes etc all to go.
