Since the CA gets no love... (pic)

Almost done rebuilding...

I figure since everyone is always talking about the SR and KA on here, I figured I would ruffle things a bit :)

Fresh bottom end with new bearings, turned crank, block was tanked, honed, and resurfaced. Pistons got some new rings. Head was resurfaced. Valve seats are all cleaned up and the valves were hand lapped. ARP hardware is holding the head on. Valve covers were powdercoated with an aluminum base and a smoke grey top coat. I'll post some more update pics as it comes along. Just waiting on an oil pump, crank sprocket, rear main seal, tensioner and idler pullies, and a timing belt.

Drool! But you forgot your turbo.

JVD.

[Angel]

Johny 5 is alive!

How can you go wrong with Mahoney

[statik]

looks great! keep up the good work

[Johny5]

you guys leave my fucking name out of this, thanks! :D

haha nice build dude can't wait to see numbers, what turbine arsenal do you have awaiting? don't say something queer like t25 or t28, go big.

[jOeHaCk98]

soon import shops will see how they went CA's are of no value and they will be selling them for dirt, then maybe ill put on in my s14 since no matter what you do to it, it wont be legal. C'mon Greddy!

Hate to disappoint you, but I am going to be running a GT2871R. ....0.64 hotside. Maybe down the road if that doesn't suffice, then I will swich to a top-mount and go with a GT30 variant such as the 3071R. Something like that would require another rebuild though as the stock slugs would have given up. But only time will tell.

[Johny5]

haha you dissapoint me not sir, that turbo sounds very suitable, i just hate people who buy second hand sr turbos like a t25 or something for a fresh built motor. such a waste when people do that.

[blackflag_Rms13]

Man that CA is so fucking awesome!! Good job.

[neilsan]

It looks good enough to keep in your living room!

after looking at this pic, i probably should have bought a CA and freshened it up like this... hopefully i'll be happy with my sr.

[boosteds13]

LOL, it's in my kitchen. Makes for a nice place to work on it. No hot/cold garages, no bugs, no dirt...

[JohnC]

Very nice CA.
keep it up.

[kandyflip445]

Nice looking CA. It really does look like Johnny 5. The intake manifold kinda looks like the laser he had at the begining of the first one.

[smellslikecurry]

question...how much is this rebuild costing you??? the engine looks amazing

[mrmephistopheles]

put some red LEDs in the space between the cam sprokects and you'll be set.

[S14DB]

Awww... Look at the pretty little motor... :p

[240trainee]

Awesome, makes me miss my CA18. Good luck with the rest of the build.

[Destructo]

Good work. shes a hella clean rebuild. props on the ca18

[drift into a curb]

If that's a cheap manifold, I would wrap it up with some header wrap or something similar. The thing is soo high up and gets way too damn hot.

The CA looks good though. Keep up the build and post progress.

[sLiDewAys]

ca owner speaking...


utehhmmm


verry nice MR. hope to see more detailed mod reviews when you start adding more parts. might help all these newbies with thier ca18 freak questions. anyhow keep up the good work man, lookin great.


brandon

[liv2drift045]

[Neejay]

Man, I cant wait until I get mine. I doubt its gonna look like that, but still...

Hella good job man.

[sLiDewAys]

ca gets no love. its ok. ill prove em.

we'll prove em:)

[evilimport]

Awww... Look at the pretty little motor... :p
:werd: :stupid: ;)

[pignosecoupe]

Sweet. I wanna do a CA! but wont :) Beauty though. keep posting pics. Let us see it when it finially gets installed.

[*NismoS13*]

Very impressive! Nothing beats a newly reworked, clean engine :)

Keep us updated with your progress and post more pics when you get it all installed!

[Irukandji]

ooo nice looking ca. worthy of putting into jdm fly ride yo.

thats a nice looking turbo mani but looks tend to fool me...

[Ricks15]

Great job keep up the good work. :eek2:

[24Zero]

Yes very nice! Keep us in the loop as you progress with the build. Just don't let Jason see the post, he will get to many ideas and Kim will divorce him. j/k.

[NeedCAforS13]

damn CA's are so crappy, who would want one of those? <3

so when are you putting it in chris :yum:

[Mike Wazowski]

Damn I could eat off that motor. Nice job man!

[Secretsquirrel]

very nice....i just picked up my ca18det today!!....i cant wait to see your progress!




SS

[sux 2 b na]

very pretty. good job.

[aznpoopy]

damn. i thought i was the only one who kept heavy car parts on a parquet floor. looks good man. :)

[boosteds13]

Yeah, I'll post update pics as they come. Thing is, I am broke until I get my school money on Jan 3rd, so it might be a bit :( I'll only be getting a few things between now and then...not worthy of the an update, lol. I'm just hoping it all holds together. It would be a shame to have it look all good and have it eat shit on the first ride out.

[Ichi-Go]

Did KHengineering rebuild your block becuase I saw your valve covers at his shop right after they got powder coated. That black chrome color looked sweet. He does good engine work.

[SRd240sx]

[Jcb890]

way to bring this thread back from the dead.

[blackflag_Rms13]

There should be a little disclaimer before anybody tries to post in an old thread...

***Look at the thread date, do you really want to bring back a ___ month old thread just to say "cool"...***

Not that complimenting someone is a bad thing or anything...

Props dude, again...

[MELLO*SOS]

Yeah that sucker is clean. Have any updated pics?

[originalsin]

CA love
