If the turbo wants to boost at 0.8Bar let it, 0.8Bar is not alot of boost anyway.
Project - Damn CA
Hi Guys
I got a new Intake for my CA18DET on friday. First off I have to really thank Hennie for the all the hard work he put into the intake.
Its basically a prototype and there is alot of figment and testing to make sure that everything is OK but I have posted some pictures below.
I will give more information at a later stage with more information

WOW, what would one of those cost?? It would be cool to bolt that onto a set of ITB's.
PS: What ever happened to Hennie and his Lexified sx??
He asked it to be removed... 😕
He asked it to be removed...
That is very unfortunate, Hennie gave good advice on this forum.
i think a lot of people thought so, but he had his own reasons.
but he's a good oke, and that s13 v8 is a beast.

Hey Hennie nice to see you posting again, hope you will make it more frequent though.
I must say VERY NICE work there Hennie, did you do the welding yourself??
....
What did the TIG machine set you back if you dont mind me asking??
....
WTF???
hennie...
on the sx forum...
it has been a strange day!!!
hahaha - gary is right though,
its good to see you here again hennie!
what went wong? 😕
Is someone deleting posts? There was no reason for those posts to be deleted, I read them. Who deleted them, and why?
it looks to me like hennie deleted them, unless someone else has his username and password.
or maybe they got him

The Water line running under the intake need to be re-routed
Quick question to all the guys on the fourm there is a Pipe leading from the thermostat intake manifold (Pic 1) under the old intake to copper hard line under the intake (pic 2) .
Can this Pipe be removed and If not why?
I know it could be a water cycle but my thermostat says partially open so can it be discarded
Thankz

i'll go have a good look at it in the morning, but i think the copper pipe feeds the turbo - so dont remove that.
as for the smaller pipe - not sure now - but i will return soon with an answer.
oh ja - i think that manifold is hotcakes!
my order will be in soon!
you think it can be made so that it gives more low down torque than the stock manifold??? i dont want top end, cos i need lots of power from as early as possible - and i dont want to make my sx a turbodiesel!!! 😕
