Can Anyone With A Ca18Det Help Me Out

[TJR32GTS-T]

G'day guys, wasn't sure which section to put this in. My missus old man and I are planning a turbo conversion for his 180b with a l18 motor, he has heard that a CA18det turbo manifold will bolt up, I was wondering if any of you have a manifold or gasket laying around to trace? Or if any of you have heard of this before?

Cheers in advance - Trent

This one is from a CA;

This one is from and L18:

CA seems to be a crossflow head and L18 isnt, that would kill that theory right there, the ports dont look like they are close, i dont think they would match.

Thanks for the reply mate, I didn't think of getting pics of the 2gaskets,

I think my missus old man may have read the infomation wrong, cos the only info I can find is people doing CA18 conversions to datsuns,

Cheers - Trent

ca's are a good bang for buck motor in a 4 banger.

Yeah he wants to do something different and keep the carby motor in it, I guess it's time to get a custom manifold made up
