CA18DET engined Ford Capri

[Daveyboy20]

Hi guys, don't know if any of you remember me but I used to own this s13;







Sold it in August 2008 to fund my Capri restoration, got the Capri on the road eventually about 4 months ago and grew bored of the engine!!

Here are a few quick photos of the build (coz its a 200sx forum )















Got fed up of the pinto and missed my SX so now this is happening;







this is basically a 'Hi again' thread and a hope that I'll be able to get some help with the conversion from som ca18det experts out there!! Im at the stage of wiring it in and feeding the looms around the bay. Also fitted a FMIC and am starting to plumb in the intercooler and turbo pipes/rad pipes.

Hope you lot don't mind the Capri related content!

The CA18DET has a chipped and remapped ECU to stage one, a 255 lph fuel pump, no power steering or aircon pulleys, cold plugs, straight through decat exhaust and cone filter, oh and a forge dump valve and screamre pipe. Thanks for reading guys

After reading the thread title i initially thought "oh no, not an ugly capri"

but then i saw this...looks awesome!!, like the car from death proof!!!

[M.D.]

class, propper mad max style, and a nice lairy coloured engine to fill the bay, make sure it has a decent amount of power to match the looks

[Nicky]

Love it.. Absolutely love it..

That is a fantastic project.

Thought of an SR20/RB25 engine'd Manta for my next motor, so will be interested to see how this goes.

Kinda lost for words. Althought i do know i want one. Keep up the good work mate.

Class cheers guys, wasn't sure how it'd go down round these parts! Just been out to Halfruads to get some vacuum hose and they don't do any, useless place! Now scouring the web for bits to finish it off I want it running in a few weeks

[Grim]

we all love capris on here, after all the 200 is just a jap version

obviously you should have used the vastly supperior SR

[DREAD13]

Oh yea!!

[JDMgravy.]

That looks brutal, love it!

[AdamB]

Nice

Are they mk2 escort arches?, looks hard as nails mate.

Want mine back now

[Daveyboy20]

Yeah, with the sides cut down to fit the rear wheels! Just got in from modifying my interooler pipework, it pretty much all lines up now in terms of the intercooler and turbo. I have to get some rad pipes and sort some sort of header tank, finish wiring it all up and sort my exhaust out. Im just going to run a straight pipe to my ashley cherry bomb for now and see how that sounds, should sound good! I also have to run some fuel hose back to the tank for the return pipe. I'm looking forward to starting it up!

i love capris! this one especially!

[pdh 14a]

Can't decide if i love or hate the stickered windows
But what a stunning car! is she solid underneath?

Looks cool with those wheels, but I feel a V8 suits the overall image better.

Anyway, if you want any help with getting that engine running let me know, I've done a few conversions now
