200 whp is cake for a CA18DET buld. I remember years back on Nico a dude was running over 500hp on a stock bottom end with just upgraded pistons, gasket, headstuds, and valve springs on the inside. Strong iron block for piss cheap, you can’t go wrong as long as you are willing to ship in parts from Japan and Europe. Have fun man. I always wanted to go CA when I was younger, so I am really stoked on this build. ---

Small update for today. I got the whole thing torn apart and found some good and bad things. #2 Rod bearing was all kinds of jacked. Good: Block is in perfect condition because it was the rod bearing and not the crank bearing that spun. Bad: Crank and connecting rod have damage from spun bearing. They both need to be re-ground. All bearings have lots of wear because of debris from bearing and need to be replaced (most likely was going to do it anyways). Oil pump may be fucked aswell.

So it’s been about two weeks since the last update… Since then, I have sourced out a new crank and #2 rod that I got in Edmonton for cheap (I just drove 685km’s for it today). For some reason machining here is about twice as much as in Ontario and was easier to just get another one. The “new” crank measures out perfectly and saves alot of time and grief. All 4 rod bearing clearance is exactly where I wan’t them to be…0.0015"…nice. More, larger updates will hopefully come in not to distant future.

Next steps include decking, new main bearings, and possibly some new piston rings! ---

Thanks for the compliments. The S12 notch grows on you, its an acquired taste. Check out an RS-X coupe, and you’ll understand. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/osads-ca-build/129176.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/osads-ca-build/129176.md?page=5)
