More progress! Brought the car home this weekend and though a bit out of tune because of the new HKS camshafts, this car exhibits a wicked ride at 12 psi of boost. And the new hybrid transmission is a complete traction success. HELICAL LSD is the way to go..................
Though still nowhere near completed, here's a shot of the engine bay with the pipes (unpainted)
Here's a better view of the interior, still incomplete! The little box on the driver's seat is my LCD programmer for my standalone system (My girl is going to love this car)
Here's a shot of the gauges and instrument cluster!
I do a little bit at a time as I'm in no more rush. For those of you that want to install a CA18DET into your vehicles, it will be a challenge that you will never forget. If you don't have the right stuff or some general know how, you are in for a long and wicked battle to be accompanied by thoughts of scrapping your projects. This one was a pain in the butt even though I had the recipe to get it done. But the ride is nasty with the bigger turbo (more lag) camshafts and better exhaust manifold. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
