CA18ET Max hp?

[TOMO200]

a mate of mine has got 305.6 bhp so far out of the 8 valve and there maybe some more to get from somewhere, Have a look at his profile S13EATER

If you are paying $$$ for ultimate power than the DET wins hands down. Absolutely no contest.

True much more power available from the twin cam

Yes, yes I agree......and is not my question.......like I said in my first post......if I get a ca-det then I won't have any extra $$ to build it up....it would go in bone stock + my existing bolt-on mods I currently have for my ca-et.....fmic, t25g, s-afc2, walbro, etc, etc
Or spend the same $$ on my ca-et for a performance build-up......but if I can only get 200hp out of it, then it's worthless to go that route.

Where? If I did my conversion right, thats like $95 USD?? I would still need the complete motor set with all the wiring goodies. All of the ca-dets I've found average around $1200 USD + shipping

I've got about 12 of them that I've picked up from garage clearances/rebuild exchanges (used to run a 200sx garage) etc, I guess it's harder in the states as they were never sold there. $1200 for a non-runner is terrible!!!!!!

what your really wanting to know is how much power the stock et head can give.

350BHP is probably the upmost maximum for the et with abosultley everything played with but Nitrous

The det can do this on the standard head and a healthy well maintained bottom end

that's a fair assessment, the ET head is a definite bottleneck, the inlet and exhaust ports are the worst I've ever seen

I know 30PSI has fitted the ET head to the DET block. If the ET head is so restrictive, can a DET head be fitted to the ET block? Or is this impossible?
