Thanks Naz.

I imagine Pete was at least a forum member as he had owned the car since the 90's I think and it had been through many iterations. White with a black roof before it was painted black....

Hi all,
Hope you don't mind me posting this here but feel its probably the best place.

Sadly I have to tell you that Pete Staples has recently passed following a short two month fight with...

The car has the standard live rear axle and apparently theres very little clearance with the 3" exhaust so the ride height is pretty much standard. The exhaust system is actually a modified S13...

I think the owner got the conversion idea from looking on Australian Toyota forums as there are a few CA'd Celicas over there. He wanted a nice driveable and reliable 300bhp.



Hi Tom ! :wave:

Just posted this on GTROC but thought you guys would appreciate it too.
Its a 1970's Mk1 Toyota Celica 1600 ST which has been fitted with a Nissan 200SX S13 CA18DET turbo engine by Performance...

No, I use a R33 GTS-T front subframe like most other people.

They handle very well if you build and set them up properly.

Delboy, is the car still running a 2.25" exhaust and what size bore is the downpipe ?
If you haven't already got one I'd be trying a 3" exhaust pipe to see if that helps the boost issue. RB's...

lol, I don't fink so mate :D

lol, not me mate, I didn't see you on track at all, were you hiding from me :D

You sure it wasn't Chris's Dad driving ? I saw you behind him at one point on the back straight and the next time...

Yes, had major problems with the black BMW 5 series and at one point almost ended up going through Paddock hill bend side by side with him after he moved over to let us past and then proceeded to...

Not sure who that belongs too, it popped into PTS when I was in there on Friday. Just changed hands and is around 270/300hp mark I believe.

Might want to check front camber too...

I suspect the Vauxhall engine has a miniscule turbo on it, what sort of power do they get out of them before upgrading. Actually scratch that. I don't care, this is a S13 forum :)

I've used and mapped E-manage Blue on CA's, RB's and SR's. Works well on all of them providing you know how to fit and map it properly. Cheap and also surprisingly versatile for a piggyback unit.

Ah. It would be interesting to see figures for standard lift if he could do them ?

I have standard lift airflow figures for RB25,26 and 1JZ and 2JZ but the CA ones aren't comparable with that...

Couple of questions on the flow figures you've mentioned above for the CA head.

Did you measure flow with the standard valves in and at standard maximum lift ?

Did you measure exhaust flow in...

Yes, I'm sure it'll be done soon over here.

Yeah, I'm aware of the Full-race 14 but not only would you have to re-drill and shape the chassis rails but then you have the problem of trying to convert the S13 to double wishbone front suspension...

What are you trying to say Mr P ? :wave:



So thats why I keep seeing pink elephants on space hoppers on the M27 :cool:

Wasn't sure if you meant battery or not. You can get 'accumulators' for WI, which store water under pressure.

I haven't actually vented the battery box at all as its not completely sealed. The...

It was only temporarily re-located as part of the preliminary work for the RB conversion so I didn't drive it with the water tank and battery permanently re-located with the CA in the car.

Whats...

Holy thread resurrection batman !

If you compare tables 2 and 5 the total weights differ by 18.5 kgs. The main reason I corner weighed it was to get some idea of where I should re-locate my...

No, the GTR subframe won't fit. 8 main mounting bolts instead of 4 and all in the wrong place.

Are they linked in someway Paul ?

PTS in Sussex (the 200SX specialists) aren't closing down, are you maybe thinking of PTS in Luton ?
