fade-e Forums Junkie Location: Sydney Registered: June 2004	Re: 3TGTE Vs CA18DET Wed, 20 October 2004 03:33 yeah the numbers it can punch out is awsome but i have heard that there a a few electrical and mechanical problems that occur when those numbers start coming out... thats why the SR20DET series 1 was released, it got rid of all the electrical issues and some minor mechanical issues were also fixed but still crappy... after that they released the SR20DET series 2 (S15) and this had all issues resolved and is an amazing motor the CA18 was the smallest of them all but is still quite heavy, the SR20 S1 was bigger and the SR20 S2 is the biggest... but back to the CA18... apart from electrical issues (which were fixed by aftermarket ECUs, it is known for pinging, and block related issues, always looses compression when high power fed through it constantly... yeah your gonna say all motors do that but the CA18 is the quickest to get cylinder issues... also for some reason they have alot of problems with the stock turbo... but at the end of the day with all aftermarket stuff every issue with the motor disappears except for the motor problems onw you can get it all acid bathed and nitrided and all that other stuff they do and that will get increase life a bit but it will always remain the first one they released and will have the most problems... in my opinion your better going for the 4WD pulsar turbo motor or 200sx S14 turbo motor... dont quote me on this cause im not sure but i think the pulsar and 200sx S14 are different BUT not sure at the end of the day your best bet is to go to a nissan forum and get info on the CA18DET there as for the 3TGTE it is BLOODY strong as, i would say peak power it is capable of would be round 200-250rwkw MAX, 250rwkw would start blowing things inside also to get that power from the 3T would require a bank, but the CA18DET wouldnt be as bad money wise [Report message to a moderator]
