quest Regular Location: u.s.a. south Registered: April 2004	Re: 3TGTE Vs CA18DET Fri, 22 October 2004 17:53 u guys are soooooo lucky to have all those old school imports down there, in such good condition - looks like paradise. Dunno how much that hull weighs, but a ca18 will fling around a 23-2400 pound hull like its a rag doll. Stock unopened motor and an sr t25 can get u into the 12s. A t28 or 16g will get u 11s. All this still while using the nissan ecu, piggybacked or eprom. I've been driving a ca18det swapped into my u.s. 240sx for 4 years now and not one single problem. Motor is whisper quiet and ac blows cold still. No electrical probs whatsoever. I don't 'abuse' it tho' - yet. Aging SRs and CAs will show u rod bearing issues if u beat on 'em. I see it as an 'old nissan 4 cylinder thing'. Refresh them. If u eventually plan to go ballistic, I'd at least get it balanced (smoothens it out noticeably). Some cam angle sensors go wak. Stock pistons, rods and head gasket hit 400hp but I'm told this is at the limit. Recently on the uk forums, a 'built' ca18 made 471 ft-pounds of torque fed by a 'puny' 20G turbo. Thats one SICK 1.8L STREET car!!! CA is not -that- much bigger or heavier than a 4agze - very similiar lumps actually.... but substantially more powerful. I feel toyotas may have the edge in durability. In the u.s. the mitsu 2.0L turbo is king ...one tough cookie. u wanna keep it toyota ? this 7AG 1.8L may work for u http://forums.club4ag.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=86813 [Report message to a moderator]
