1985 CA18ET - 92.8 kW (124 hp) at the wheels and 199.65 Nm (146 ft lbs) of torque
235 000 km
Stock engine (no intercooler, stock T2 turbo)
MODS:
boost controller (simple bleed valve) running 0.7 bar (10 psi) instead of the stock 0.5 bar (7 psi).
electrical radiator fans instead of the factory clutch fan.
Awesome! It's crazy that this car is still putting that much to the wheels almost 40 years later without a rebuild.
Do you still have the pop off valve on the intake manifold? I don't know what that's set at pressure-wise, but it might be causing a boost leak that would leave you with even more power once plugged!
No, I have deleted the pop off valve and as far as I know, it was supposed to open at around 10 psi
