Well, it'll obviously be running close on standard boost..... So no much more than 200 id imagine?

The stripped rear may add a few though

[royal]

ca18det --- 160bhp
Rebuilt T25, 360deg thrust bearings --- plus 40 bhp
Forge actuator --- plus 33bhp
Braided turbo lines ---- plus 56.345 bhp
3" downpipe and straight through system --- plus 32 bhp
induction kit ---- plus 73.2 bhp
uprated oil and radiator caps --- plus 592bhp
boost gauge --- plus 78bhp
Denso iridium plugs --- plus 23bhp

Tein SS coilovers - plus 10 handling points
Veilside rear strut brace --- plus 33 handling points and 75 bhp
Stripped rear --- plus 15 handling points and 8.3 bhp
16x8 Rota Grid Drift -- plus 4 handling points (more for stretchu) and 2bhp


I make that at 639.845 bhp and 62 handling points. I reckon you could get about 20bhp extra if you ran the oil cap at a higher pressure though. Handling should be good so you'll be a driving god in a couple of days as well

i want about 250bhp what other mods should get there without blowing it up

Mwuhahaha..

For 250? Do a search on here... For Stage 2 set ups.. That tends to end up at about 280ish... You'll want a FMIC of some sort, more boost, and a chip

You don't need loads of power to drift mate. 9/10 people reckon its much better to learn on a low power car as well, because of the way you have to really learn the techniques to make it work. It will drift perfectly fine as it is.

dont spend moneys on a ca18 because it will all be waisted cos they are crapola ,just spend money on tires ,drify wheels and practice days you WILL have much more fun , then when once you have got pissed iff with changing ca18's put a sr20 in (waits for bizzle to see this and start a sr20 vs ca18 war again)

SHUT THE FCUK UP YOU MORON.

Jeeeesus, you would have thought after Doc vs Bizzle round one you might have actually noticed that they arent, but what the hell.

The winner of time attack clubman last year had a CA, the most powerful 200SX in the UK (probably Europe) has one, various EDC drivers have and still are competing with them blah blah blah.

If looked after they are as reliable as anything else.

calm down chap ...... i my opinion they are crap , iv had four so far and they have all died and none have been running big powers and have all been looked after , the money i have wasted on ca's i could have brought a sr along time ago ..... granted the ca if built properly can be a good engine , but still standard for standard the sr does seem to lead , in my opinion the money needed to build a decent ca for reliable power you mite just aswell get a standard sr
