Hey all,
This year I'm Planning to start and hopefully finish modifying my Pintara Gli to the way I want it. It has the Ca20e which I've heard good and bad about, but wanna do something different to the norm. I don't have a budget, whic would be a good place to start but for now I'm still asking questions :p
In the way of engine mods, considerations included:
-Stroke it to 2.2L
-2.5" exhaust, high flow cat ending in a Varex muffler
-Pistons (1mm oversize hypereutectic pistons)
-Port and polish
-3 angle grind job
-Bigger cam
-Noss's style CAI
-Lightened flywheel
Would problems should I expect to run into from the list above?
Is there a modification there that would need a supporting mod that I havnt included?
Can anyone give me a guess-timate of how much it will cost?
-
If you're going to stroke it, why use hyperelutic pistons ? Jump straight to high comp forged if keeping it n/a or standard forged for turbo... Also extensive bottom end balancing.
HD clutch to match fly
Cosmetic head gasket
I assume you mean 3 angle valve job ? In that case, in use with the bigger cam, go stiffer valve springs and swirl polished valves ?
Deff should need a retune so aftermarket ecu and will deff need a bigger maf if you are pumping the power through.
-
Hahaha thats why I posted in the noob zone, High compression forged pistons sounds good. Its staying N/A :P
Do you know what ECU would work? And Just a J30 Maf or something there abouts?
Cheers

Nistune may do a retunable daughter board but im not too sure.
not sure on the potential of a ca20 but a J30 maf may not have a high enough HP rating, better be safe and go 80mm 500hp Z32 or 90mm ??? Q45 Maf.
-
hmmm, I'l have to look into it.
Yeah better to be safe then sorry aha. I'll have a fair bit of time to much around, you know what kfc wages are like lol
-
The J30 maf is good for 300 hp or about 220ish kw.
You would only need a z32 maf if your going if your planing on over 220kw and up to about 370ish kw.
Don't need to spend excessive cash if you don't need to.

I wasnt too sure on the potential of a ca20 with all those mods, so obviously will be under 220kw so go for a j30 maf, i have a spare if you are keen, no plug though...
-
Keen indeed. What plug are you talking about? The one fits directly into the
Maf?
-
can use other plugs, that fit and just swap pins accordingly..
-
Done a bit of looking around.. Found about 2K worth of mods will get me the approx equivalent of a stock KA24e. Fark. See why people don't work on this much.. Now looking at either a 18DE head conversion (Anyone got pointers about that?) Or just a straight Ka Conversion. It's a bit to think about and how far dad will let me go on my P's :-\
-
Or just buy a trx lol
-
Its not what your dad says its what the cops say haha, you cant have an engine conversion on your p's, so buy a trx lol
