I got a ca18det that is going into a nissan 240sx. I was wondering what parts are needed for it to be run good? What type of turbo upgrades I can get?

OK here is the deal. Since the CA is a pretty old motor and most have been laying around places or have been used a lot, the first thing you might want to do. That happened to my first CA that I had. The head gaskets were blown. The good thing about CA motors is that you can find parts for them at Pep-boys beleive it or not. Anyways yeah the head gasket would be nice preferably from tomei or hks. For a turbo upgrade you dont need anything super big. All you need isa t28 to up the boost and you will see a nice tourque and hp increase. A walbro fuel pump upgrade would be nice. However if you can get your hands on a supra or a skyline r33 fuel pump that would be much better. If i were you I wouldnt push the engine too hard until you have some money saved up to do internal work. You want to change the pistons and the cams. A rebuild isn't issential but if you have the money the CA is a good motor to do a rebuild on. Hope that helps.
