CA18ET information

Thanks, i thought the questions would have been answered to but i've not really been able to find anything definitive in my searches.
Like with the rods, some say they bend at only 150rwhp others seem to be making lots more power but i've not found much mention of weather it's on built engines or on stock ones.
By ladder brace i mean the crank girdle that the CA18DET uses, not a strut brace.
Thanks again.

this is what he means by the ladder brace - has anyone over here used this??

with your t25g, intercooler, etc i think you would have quite a respectable motor, not too sure how well it would pull the r31 pintara along, how much does it weigh and have you got any pics of it?

mine has the crank girdle in out of the 200sx.

did you need to use longer bolts to fit the girdle, cos ive got a few det bottom ends lying around that i could pull one off

The Pinny with the sound deadening removed and the air con removed should be around 1100kg-1150kg is my guess.
Lighter then my old SR powered Gazelle SGL anyways haha.
It's still a toss up here, i can get a CA18ET engine loom ECU and gearbox for $600 or i can get a CA18DE engine loom and ECU (no clutch/flywheel) for $200. I'm leaning towards the DE right now, it shouldn't cost me a great deal extra to turbo it and it'll bolt up to the existing Pintara gearbox.
But i have to have info to weigh up my options properly

Thanks guys.

yeah but you probably wouldent be able to run more than 6/7psi on the de+t due to the higher compression ratio of the n/a engine so you would be limited for future mods?
