ca wouldn't even heat up a kettle

but srsly, CA in a keto would be fun, gotta look after the engine tho. 90% of CA's are old and thrashed, no wonder they dont last. If you think about the pre 91 silvias with CA's, that was 18-19 years ago, thats old in engine years.

but according to the japanese it only did 67xxx kms

and they dont lie

dont get dale started about the CA's damo

id be quite happy for him to defend the looked after CA's, after all, he has a mean one that would eat alot of RB25's.

[Krishy]

yep not wrong on that one damo

if i remember correctly he made 185 on the boostworx dyno

not a bad power to weight ratio on that beast

That was 185 kw with a 10mm hole in the intercooler piping where a blanking plug came lose and fell out. That won't be happening again, now with added loc-tight.

What's with all the CA haters here, anyone would think it's a skyline forum. The only problem with CA's is that a lot of them have had a hard life and they haven't been well maintained, If you get one that's been treated with respect they make a good RELIABLE little power house. Have a look at the graph below, that's on a standard bottom end.

Here's the new graph from a couple weeks ago on a 36 degree day, and that's after i lost 10kw by going back to the factory manifold which we gained back by 1 more psi in boost, also gained 400 RPM in response with the factory manifold;

Wasn't this on Car Sales not long ago?!

such a nice and smooth curve and the power is coming nice and early as well

ahh now i know why you only made 185 on that day....would have liked to see this figure there

so am i reading it right Dale....your actually loosing 400rpm in response by using aftermarket manifolds?

Rims have ruined a half-decent GTR...

But that's WAY to cheap... apart from the body work, I'd dare say the engine is in need of some repair...

I knew something wasn't right in the day because it was sssooooo rich, if you remember the exhaust manifold was also cracked at the turbo flange, when i took the turbo and manifold off it all made sense when i saw the 10mm plug had falled out of the compressor outlet.

Yep was getting full boost just over 4000 before but now it's more like 3700-3800 rpm, but at the cost of kw. Was making 216kw with the old manifold but with the factory manifold it was making 203kw, with some more tuning and the extra psi or so we got it back to around the same figure as the old manifold.

Earlier power = Torque so would have gained a few Nm in torque, but i don't have a graph with that on it.

yeh damo ca in a keto would be a handfull!

[rad100]

CA's don't even need oil

Have had nothing but bad experiences with CA's (spun bearings, lack of women throwing themselves at the car when I drove past, etc).

But seriously, if you're going CA... just do yourself a favour and get a RB20!

Use the CA for a paper weight or something.

its ok i thought about rb20 in the keto lol..

but just abit too much work.. and would be way insane!!

[RubyRS4]

Sorry, I'm always skeptical of things like this. There are no details on it, and it could be anyone's.

Got a print out detailing your car?
