Default CA18ET information

It's been a while since i've had an S12 but i have need of one of their motors now .
I'm planning on an engine upgrade in an R31 Pintara soon.
CA18DE + T was my first choice (did i mention i'm spending next to no money on this upgrade?) but a CA18ET has come up so i'm after some general information on it.
I have done some searching but no difinitive answers have surfaced.
Obviously i will be upgrading the fuel pump, exhaust and adding an intercooler as par of the course.
I have a T25G laying about i could bolt on as well.

What sort of boost could i expect to run on the stock injectors and management without running into problems.
Does the CA18ET have a rev limiter? (it's going to be a drift car so a limiter will be very usefull in keeping the motor alive me thinks)
How strong are the stock rods? I have heard people saying they are weak then someone else will say they have got 240hp (wheel hp?) on them.
Which is true?
130kw at the rear wheels is my goal but i'd settle for 110-120rwkw if i had to spend more money to get to 130rwkw.
Does adding the CA18DET ladder brace help much? Will i need new/longer bolts if i add the brace?
What sort of power will the stock sized clutch take? Is it going to slip at the first sign of abuse?

Thanks
Jarich
