Maybe the title of this thread, should be renamed to Biggest waste of money build of all time and yep its a ca powered 180sx. Anyone else got some good ideas for what this thread should be renamed to?

So did the ex/current tuners have a good reputation for tuning turbo piston engines with microtechs before you decided to take it there in the first place?

Albert

chris is a good tuner dont get me wrong, hes done alot for us, not charging me for hours of dyno time and fixing my engine lol. the cam gears im using are somewhat to blame as they have no Zero marking on them and i had to repunch them as the adjutable bit wasnt in the center when the outer peice was pointing where it should be, so yeh mostly them. we were going to look at the cam timing next time i went down as hes got a mate that is pretty cluey in regards to cams. my engine is abit unique as hes never had one this modified (no excuse i guess) but yeh now that i know what the issue is/was im getting new cam gears (thanks to Niscort for helping sus out what the problem was he was a big help).

and no this wasnt really a waste of time and money ive learnt alot and have recently built a mates ca which is making some decent power with little mods, mines just been 1 problem after another. im one of those guys that shouldnt own a car hahaha.

but in all seriousness the cars running really well and sounds unreal at 8000rpm~ smoking the wheels through a corner, gate blaring!

Glad to hear it is finally coming together for you xris you deserve a break it sounds like you have had your fair share of trouble and a few other peoples. I know how frustrating it can be when circumstances beyond your control keep bringing you bad luck. I know in my case SOME of it was self inflicted but a lot of the crap that has gone on hasn't been. I look forward to that post where you say "I HAVE FINALLY DONE IT!"

and following that line.. It'd be "I'VE CONVERTED TO SR! YOU'RE ALL RIGHT! d'OH!"

Hopefully you can prove us wrong Xris..

for christs sake dont break the bloody thing before you get it "really" tuned at race pace... Im sure there will be an even bigger difference once the cams are properly setup and tuned to suit.

do you have a date for it to be done yet?

nar i dont got to sort out some cam gears..rhdjapan.com says its a 2 week + wait on cam gears as they are a made to order part now :S

come on guys give the man a break, its very disheartening hearing these cheap shots coming from you guys.

i hope you get everything sorted, i knew that one day eventually you will have this up and running.

215rwkw is more power than most people here are making, and a shitload more than most CA owners have.

Keep that in mind when you make a post, eh?

Well the only reason xris's CA is making more power than most CA owners have is cause, most CA owners wouldn't spend crap loads of money on a CA to begin with, and probably realise that they can make the amount of power xris is presently making, far more easily and probably more cheaply with a stock SR20DET and have a better spread of torque. Most people also know that you even make that power with a s15 SR20det with the appropriate supporting mods without even changing the factory turbo.
