lol i wouldnt buy a sr20/ca18 deT if my life depended on it let alone a DE

but you happily own cars that have essentially the same engine as a CA18 with two extra cylinders? Keep in mind things like injectors/coilpacks etc all swap over between the two.

What's wrong with SR20DETs? Pretty much the equivalent to my 3S-GTE and I love it :)

cept SR's are alloy, where 3S's are cast iron and didn't have any sort of variable timing other than in the dying years or special BEAMS engines?

CA16?

oops, yeah that.

Lol if Shan approves it must be all sweet. Only downside is auto but it's clean and I don't mind

I'm asking for 1k my way too. Guys keen

FFS, look retard, why do you keep leaving out all the shit details that ruin a car?

It's like sayin you hooked up with this chick that had mad headjob skills on a wild night out in your first post...

Then 5 posts later we find out she was blind in both eyes, sported a gunt, had one boob, and was your mother.

Meh, I've never known a standard condition (not rebuilt) CA that's been reliable.

had a standard CA18DET in my AE86 and in the Sky80. Both ran fine with regular maintenance. Maybe it's the muppets you know who own the cars that can't take care of them? Hell the one that I put in the AE86 had over 200,000k's on it.

Ouch. That would be based on your age and the amount you're wanting to insure the car for. I have 3 cars (total insured value of slightly more) an I pay ~$800 per year less (I'm a couple of years older.)

different with a turbo

The CA18DE is a 1.8 L DOHC 16v (1809 cc) engine produced from 1987 through 1989. It produces 1310 hp (980 kW) @6400 rpm and 1590 N·m (1170 ft·lbf) @5200 rpm.

epic

seriously though

im on my p's this is a nanny state

if i so much as put my toe down if im next to another p plater and theres a cop around, i will get REAMED

so really, the idea of slow car till off p's has finally sunken in.

thanks for the insight ladies and gents

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
