CA18DET GH Sigma Drift/ multipurpose track car

[Skidma]

Hi
My name is Harry and this is my GH sigma
Was given to me, so i decided to shorten the struts and lock the diff and slide it
I took it to a winton drift day once then was like need more power
Mods so far:
Shorted struts 100mm with st165 celica front shocks with cut heavy wreckers springs
shortened steering knuckles 17mm
hydraulic handbrake
Fixed back bucket seat
4 point harness
14" dished steering wheel
160kW @ 14psi Ca18det, t25g turbo, xforce split dump pipe, FMIC, exedy hd cushioned button clutch
VL 3 core radiator
Nistune
Bosch 044
Surge tank
Mods to be done:
finish r31 diff conversion
boost guage
Half cage
Oil cooler
Possibly a bigger turbo (2871r) on a high mount manifold
External gate
Ca18de cams
And more

This is what it looks like


Its pretty low


This is how i started out power plant wise then added a 34/34 weber was planning to take it to winton again but bought the ca18 and got excited and started doing the conversion


CA18DET Mounted, running, drove it twice with the sigma diff and was like WHOA!!! BTW I wired it all myself (surprisingly easy)


mounts were easy as



Fuel setup has to be in a sealed compartment



R31 tailshaft modded center bearing mount


Interior, just waiting for a passanger seat to be returned to me

[fantapants]

great working with what you have fella!

[turbo510]

Love it, always had a soft spot for the early sigma

[MRMOPARMAN]

i love cars that are built from what ever was laying around. kudo's for getting out there and having a go on what seems a minimal budget.

wish racing had the same build freedoms as drifting.

[lysdexia]

this is definitely rad!

[stockymcstock]

pretty awesome!

that engine mount looks a bit iffy though - maybe add some gussets to it?

[e30guy]

Liking where this is heading.

I like this. Makes me miss my old GH.
If you want a wider front track look for some later model control arms.
Hows this thing slide?

[[CatchMe]]

Awesome! Love the super rare OEM Ralliart CA18 timing cover too...

[Shifty]

I came in here to hang shit on it, but that's actually really cool!

forgot about the GN LCA's i have in there lol
slides fucking awesome could do stupid long entries but couldnt power out of it with the astron
so along came the ca to have some mad fun not looking forward to spending money on tyres though (im 17 and also a 2nd year heavy vehicle mech)

[Gassed250]

I know of a GH that has full s15 front suspension, cross member and steering, owner made it look like an easy swap

[Skidma]

diff conversion is slowly coming along so far shortened just need to make up the jig now and get it happening then exhaust and a few more things here and there

[Skidma]

So i just remembered about this thread. long time no update.
Diff was finished long ago now,still uses standard length r31 manual wagon tailshaft.
Been to 3 drift events and 1 motorkhana/khanacross now.
Put it on a dyno a while back it made 150rw/kW @ 14psi.
Not too much has changed apart from adding
CAMS spec half cage and a pair of fixed back seats
Alloy fan shroud, catch can




hit a wall about 3 months ago bent a few steering components and bent the lh rear 1/4 but thats what happens in drifting so meh

this is what let me down last weekend


this was at a skidpan about an hour from Wagga

[Doyley]

Good work Harry, you sure the turbo is a T25G? I thought it had Wazza's old GT25 on it the same as the turbo I had.

[karl_2ltGC]

What diff is this thing running?
