One Savage project!!! 56k unfriendly

can't buy anything now, cusco front strut brace is on its way and chassis has been repaired. next is g/b mounting.

Yes I am running the stock injectors. Hmmm... Then I highly doubt that I've got 174rwkw if the the injectors max out at 155rwkw. Thanx for pointing that out, and there's gonna be a lotta people getting the wrong numbers from the dyno's at Doc's Tech then. Oh well I'm still happy with my 140 or so kw's at the hubs then 😀 Next is a Dicktator management that will sort out the fine tuning.

I should be getting flanges back pretty soon that I sent in to get made for the front strut brace that I'm gonne make for my ride.
Do the strut braces make a significant difference in handling if that's all I've got in my car with regards to handling?

works better if the car is lowered. you can corner faster than electricity 😂

The braces should do allot, even with the stock suspension, but try do all of them ie. front top and bottom+ rear.

as for the injectors, by adjusting the fuel pressures they would have been able to get them to work at that power pretty easily. mine fuels to 1.2barr no prob! Its currently set at 1Barr and i'm doing exactly 174Rwkw and i just bliksemed the stock FPR.

But some nice work!

Awesome stuff! Glad to know it'll make a decent difference 🙂
Just one Q:
Where would you fit the lower strut braces? The top braces for the front and rear are pretty obvious but what about the lower ones?

@ Reecez: I doubt I'll have enough cash for a lowering kit any time soon man haha but thanks for the tip.

@ Q-Mech: Very nice job too man! If I've got 174rwkw then we making bout the same power 8) And I'm running about 3,7 bar fuel pressure atm

Depends on the kit, if it's a 2 point brace it'll mount between the two front diagonal braces.
if it's the 4 point brace it'll mount on the four fixing points of the front suspension.

I'm building 6 point braces incorparating both the above types.

But your car is looking really nice!
You must come drive with me and Norb sometime, I'd dig to see it!

Wow sounds confusing but definately worth it! I'll stick with the upper struts for now cause I got another problem I need to sort out! 🙄

Took my car for a drive today and when I came home I switched it off- it was at standard operating temperature- then I tried to start it again but it just keeps cranking! It doesn't wanna start and it's done this a few times before so there is a problem. My fuel pump is working and my injectors are working fine so I think it's my coil packs.

I am thinking of converting it to a single coil system, but what product would one go for when looking at that? And generally how would you connect a single coil system up in the CA18?

Otherwise I should replace the coils I have in now- does anyone have any that work? lol

@ Q-Mech: Thanks for the compliments bro! It's been a long process. And I'd be glad to join you for a ride sometime, we must make a plan 🙂

this sounds like the problem i have occasionally... you may have just flooded your motor with petrol.

just get a set of Tein S Tech springs, I'm using them and so is Trance, wasn't as costly as you think it would be. Sure, ur gona get ass raped everytime you go over a bumpy road but it's worth it, if you need a comfortable ride then ur getting old 😂

R3000 for them from import parts

R2700 from frsport with shipment. 😂 or you could wait for the rand to kick the dollar's ass some more

My Indian friend just brought in a shipment Glazious KCR springs for the s13,i don't know how good they are but @ R2000 a set i'm gonna give them a try?

@ savage: yeah man me and norb are trying to get a group of drivers together to meet once a week exploiting the darker(less legal) appeal of these cars. but i'll let you know when next we meet.

R3k that's really not too bad at all for a decent set of springs.

Alright I tested each coil while the motor was on by unplugging each one at a time. And there are 2 of them that keep giving me sh!t.
I've heard about coil packs that u can buy, the pack comes with 4 coils in it, they apparently use them for v8's but I'm sure they should work?

Otherwise, seeing as I'm running standard management, I'll have to source some second hand standard coils.

Checked basically all possible problems with cylinder 3 and it turns out that that injector was not working...

Swapped around the injectors to make sure it was that injector sooo....

Does anyone have 1 standard working spare injector for the CA18DET that they would like to sell to me?

Got 4 injectors 🙂 Replaced the one and now the motor is running sweetly. Thanx Sparco (Stephan).

I had a leak by the exhaust but tightened up all the bolts properly and now she's boosting even better and quicker than before, I didn't think that was possible seeing as I already had almost no lag 😂

Been saving up for a while now and I can almost taste the Dicktator system 😛

Got those flanges back for the front upper strut brace, just need to source a steel bar that I can bend to fit between the flanges now...

steel too heavy - get aluminium rather? titanium? chrome moly?
