Im up to 3500 k's in my 180sx (CA18DET)
engine was full rebuilt and am just curious if thats enough running on mineral oil before I put mobil 1 in it ?
Whats everyones opinion..?

I've got my little sack 1991 Corrola EE90, the clutch has pretty much given up.
Now slips from the massive horsepower 2E.
Anyout there wanna gimme a huge hand changing the clutch ???

ITS COMING OFF !!!
stupid GT wing. i have a new bootlid going on when i can find a spare afternoon.
Who wants it ???

yeah mish, my new boot should be here in a week. then can get rid of the shopping trolley handle.

When the next meet, ill bring her along.

Well the 180 is done and back on the road.

She is tuned and goes BLOODY WELL!!!!
Boost comes on strong from 2800 full boost at around 3600. (only 9 psi atm)
Been doing lots of spirited driving this week and i cant get enough of it.

I cant wait till its run in and can see what she can really ...

Thanks very much for the help chelles, i got a somewhat excessive bill from my mechanics and NEED the money he owes me. Ive sent him a few e-mails telling him i need it, been giving him the benifit of the doubt but will definitely get small claims or baycorp onto him.

We're on different islands ...

Alright lads, there is a fella who owes me money for some parts which were never supplied. I paid and waited and waited and nothing ever happened so told him i wanted my money back. He agreed and has been fobbing me off with excuses.

Whats the best way to get the money off them, its been a while ...

WTF??

Ive just put my new GT2860RS onto my ca18det, havent finished putting everything else together but I e-mailed garrett and asked if i need a restrictor in the oil line.
They told me max oil pressure is 40psi before i need one.

Standard oil feed will be too much right ?

Turbo arrived this afternoon.
STOKED. Pictures below.
Gonna put it on tomorrow if the mechanics put my engine back in. Gotta sort intake piping and she is back on the road.

Just got my bill from the engine reconditioners. Yikes!!!

Ill just say that im glad its not a V8...

My g/f has a KP61 and her horns are going a bit funny, she went for a warrant and the horns wont work unless the steering wheel is at full lock either direction.

How do we get the steering wheel off ?

Does anyone have an idea of this ?

Is it just me or is petrol cheaper now, it was down to 166.9 from 170.9 last night. Lets hope this continues.

Thanx HRT, heres some compressor maps too.

Most people who dont like CA's havent really had a good look or look at end power made.
If you look at the power per litre they arent much off SR and dont have trouble with top end.
I have heard lots of horror stories of SR20's, have seen a few with ventilated blocks and bent valves.

Im going ...

my mrs brother is a welder by trade and he checked the welds and all that. the manifold isnt that bad a quality.
Im heat wrapping it to keep the heat out of my engine bay.

Just some pics of random parts.
Just waiting on the turbo now.

Alright guys, i need some advice on a cheap BOV for my CA18DET. Im making custom piping so mounting will be fine but it needs to be re-circulating.
Can anyone recommend a common enough OEM bov to use ?

29th Sounds good, might have the 180 back by then and would be good to show her off.
