CA18ET - Race engine build

I think you may have to change your exhaust system to attain that sort of power.

The bore is not large enough and im unsure on your length and layout but possibly change that at the same time


Also if your after a decent power curve you may want to start looking at an electronic boost controller

2 1/2 inch will piss 240bhp, so fuck knows what i'll achieve with 7 inch lol.

have you thought about a bluebird 2 litre intake manifold?

looks like this and bolts straight up (provided there is room)

You'll have to cut and shut the ends round on the CA20 inlet

Yeah, good point, an EBC is on the 'desirable' list
The exhaust is going to have to stay as it is because A) it's only 2 months old and B) It only just passes noise limits for most tracks

The CA20 inlet would be good but I know how difficult they are to get hold of. Whereas I can have a custom plenum fabbed onto standard runners for free because the missus' stepdad is a welder/fabricator

Does anyone know where I can get hold of an ET rebuild manual?

I've got a manual, can photocopy the relevent pages for you if you like. Also got a stupendous amount of spare parts that'll help you along.

I'd add an s13 main bearing crank girdle to the spec. I can sort that and mod it to not foul the sump too

Sounds good Danny, can you PM me more info?
