1 Year With The CA!

[rico05]

Well, today marks the 1 year anniversary of the start of my swap (Wednesday is the offical startup anniversary) Still kicking harder than ever! So, how long have ya'll's CAs been alive in the US?

US only, eh?

Ive had my CA since March and it still aint in the car yet =p

I had my second running CA since 1997 and recently it has been doing lots of blow bys, but the abuse that I put it through, I am surprised that it hasn't blown, these CA engines have proven to me that there is nothing close to their strength and design.

BTW, the internals are still stock and I have 550cc injectors, z32maf, z32 fuel pump, T28 turbo and I never driven it and shifted any less than 7K rpm.

I have nothing but respect for these engines and for Nissan for designing such a beast.

I agreee with this! The FWD/AWD engines seem to be much more in shape than the RWD engines. My AWD engine lasted forever and I tore it down for goodness sake. Then I sold the bottom end to a RWD member from this forum. So I go and buy a RWD engine and it has just been stinking up the place. Just picked the bottom end up from the shop to the tune of $639 (Sucks). So to protect myself in the future, I ordered 3 more AWD engines for safe keeping. The CA is a beast and hope everyone's live as long as they expect it to.
