Im thinking about buying a CA18de (front wheel drive with a few mods to go real wheel)
but I was wondering what the differences are between DE and the DET cos at a later stage I might think about throwing a turbo on

ca18de has a different crank, no main girdle, no oil piston squirters, weaker rods, weaker pistons, different cams....

so a turbo on it, is out out of the question then:lol:

no not at all it should hold more power then the ca18et due to the better pistons and rods..
