I don't know about modifying the cylinder head and intake jsut yet, but I
plan to in the future. As for turbo's I want to use the turbo attached to
the Nissan RB25. It's produces the same power as a T3 but comes on a bit
earlier in the rev range, so that might be the go. Check out the latest
zoom, it has a good tech article on the CA18det and appropriate turbo
upgrades!
