More progress on my girl's CA18DET powered SENTRA!

The New custom exhaust manifold!

Tomorrow a hug FMIC will fill that space. It runs from headlight to headlight.

Rewired custom instrument cluster!

Just another angle showing wastegate. The turbo will installed tomorrow as well as the intercooler. The car will sport 2 blowoff valves as well. My goal is simple: 400whp out of an internally stock CA18DET (It also has HKS camshafts). Since it's my girl's car and not mine, I can't push the engine till it blows. Enjoy the pics guys.

I've had the pulsar steering wheel on my car back in 1997, but it was too tight of a fit and I didn't want to modify the steering column anymore than I did. I have something nice for that car waiting and it's JDM

. I'll unveil it later this week when the car is fully operational. It should be on the road today as I'm just waiting on the intercooler outlet pipes to be placed onto the cooler itself. Oh Yeah "Myetball" , your hairdryer is on it's way and be sure and let me know when you get it. I threw in everything that came with it so if you have any questions and need to talk to me verbally, drop me a private post and I'll shoot you my #. Guys, I think the coolest thing about this project is going to be it's transmission and manifold. After looking at the stock manifold that I had the T3 flange welded on, that thing had only two ports to flow four ehaust runners and one of them was literally the size of a quarter. The other was a little bit bigger than a $.50 coin and the silver car still ran like a posessed prostitue. And now with the HKS cams, blitz blow-off valve and Greddy Type R BOV, new tranny w/helical LSD and long gears, bigger intercooler than the one seen on the car in my avatar, this car should be nasty in itself.

My cluster isn't exactly all pulsar. This is hybrid cluster that took me exactly 9 hours to make. I also have another one for my car and they are a pain in the ass to make. You cannot use the pulsar's cluster in the sentra because of design constraints.

could you tell me what you had to do to make it work, or possibly even let go of your "extra" one for a price or were you going to use that one too?

Myetball · Aug 19th, 2003, 09:02 PM

I'm thinking Pulsar GTi-R wheel....can't wait to see what you got and of course the completed project. Will have my eyes pealed for a cast iron hair dryer.

You will need the cluster from a sentra GXE or SE model and the cluster from an 87-90 pulsar SE, a soldering gun, an exacto knife, crazy glue and a crap load of patience. It involves carefully removing the majority of the plastic on the gxe/se screen and so forth/so on. It's very hard to explain and that's why it takes me so long to do it. The other is for my other car. I could make one, but I would never advertise a piece like this because the work is too tedious. But if you really want one or anyone else, the cost is around $200 (time is money). And in 9 hours I could do 3 engine swaps and make a small weekly fortune, so there's the math.

I've been inspired! I'm gonna hit the junkyard this weekend and see if I can frankenstien together a B11 cluster with the instrumentation from a '88 200SX. 125mph speedo, tach, fuel, temp, oil, volts.
