NeedCAforS13haha, I know for a fact that the CA18DE doesn't take boost because I cracked a stock piston on stock turbo, stock boost. Cracked a ring land. Ran GREAT for about a month. I tried that whole, I want high compression turbo thing too. It doesn't work without some sort of timing control or stronger pistons.
And no the CA18DE doesn't have oil squirters, but the JDM CA18DE does have the same crank girdle and thick rods as the DET. the USDM one doesn't.
if you truly believe that. you're either retarded or misinformed. the cam covers look similar. and they're iron blocks. the head design is similar, ok. but what does that have to do with compression ratio... the RB has a much beefier bottom end. so it can take higher compression. don't base engine physical appearance on engine performance.
I'm not basing it on physical appearance.. quite a bit of the engineering was shared in the design of both moth motors. by no means did i mean to say because they are similar designs that th ca was clearly as strong. just that people shouldn't assume a motor can't take boost solely because it use to be n./a and has higer compression. i didn't even claim it could take as much boost as a normal turbo ca. i a well aware they can't take the same stress but to say they are un-boostable is a stretch. it's not like they just explode the minute you give them any boost. mine is a jdm ca18de, i wouldn't have used a us one. also the life span is clearly Dependant on how you drive, i just drive mine to work.. i can pretty much garuntee you were harder on yours.
i know i probably shouldn't have worded my rb comment in that way, but it was meant partly in jest. but my point was if you build your setup properly you can run high comp with turbo.
no need to attack me, i simply hadn't heard from anyone else who had tried this as to their experiences.
