Any one wants ca16de engines

[pulsar gtr]

Hi,

I got two ca16de engines of two pulsars, one I took of my pulsar as it was burning some oil, it is still complete engine excpet for ignitor, cas and cams, the other ca16de comes with the cams, and it runs great. no ignitor or cas as well.

200 bucks for both engines + shippingany one interested, shoot me an email [email protected],lots of these parts are interchangable with the ca18det,

Thanks,

well, if you cant get rid of them, how much you want for the cams out of the complete one?

Hi R34,

If you want ca16de cams, I got couple extra pairs, make me an offer and they are yours.

Thanks,

50 bucks shipped? and isnt there a certain year that has a higher lift than the others? or am i retarded.

[r34 gtr]

oh, and what is the difference between the ca16de and ca18det cams in terms of lift and duration? i know it isnt much but plenty of people use them so i figure its good enough.

I don't know the exact lift difference between both cams 16 and 18de, 50 bucks plus shipping lol, as shipping wil run you about 20 bucks from Canada.

Thanks,

how many extra pairs? and does ANYONE know what years were special? was it all or just some? I know they're "the" cheap cam upgrade for the intake, but for exh are about the same IIRC ?

[Notchbackca]

any CA16DE cams are as good as it gets, it only showed up in the US in 87, I have a spare intake cam with lifters as well if anyone is interested

the CA18DE and the CA16DE intake cams have the same part numbers, however... many cars that share engines have the same part numbers for cams even tho the cams are different, whatever the case one of the N/A cams will be a power adder over the turbo cam

I got two pairs of ca16de cams, and yes the ca16de only came in 1987 pulsar.

Ooo, I'm interested in the intake cam + lifters.. don't really think I need two cams, but I really ought to go measure the cams and make sure the exh ones are in spec..

[pulsar gtr]

kool, I will save you a set of the cams

I will be able to send you the cams early next week.Thanks,

Could you possibly get me a shot of the oil pan... ^_^ I would be MOST GRATEFUL.

Thanks!

FYI, the CA16DE intake cam has 8.5mm lift and 248 duration. The exhaust cams are all the same for CA16 and 18.

An interesting bit of information I found is that the early JDM CA18DE intake cam is 8.5 lift and 252 duration. I've checked my JDM CA18DE and it is indeed 8.5mm lift.

I found some conflicting information also. One source says USDM CA18DE intake cams are 7.8 / 240 while my '88 Pulsar FSM says they are 8.5 lift...no duration specified.

The CA18 cams are the way to go! But then again, stop ebing cheap and get some regrinds to the spec you want.

I noticed that in the April 04 Ask Sarah column on NPM (only read it after seeing the funny April 03 one, and check if 04 was too, it wasn't) that someone apparently was asking about CA16DE and CA18DE heads for their FWD car, and according to her / NPM they made a change in 89 (which would mean a '90 car or late '89 car, not a '88 car) to the 'bigger' cam, apparently.. they also mentioned the JDM DE being bigger too, that was the first I'd heard of either of those..

also, FAST doesn't show any difference between the part #'s for the CA18DE and CA16DE from 0986-0887 (CA16) and 0887-0989 (CA18), so I don't know where we get all our stories about better cams from, except that there's so much evidence of people trying it and it working, despite the part #'s being identical...

source/cost of these regrinds ? other valvetrain mods/cost ?Have u (or anyone) tried em with no other changes and saw a definite improvement ?

[boost_boy]

Quote »source/cost of these regrinds ? other valvetrain mods/cost ?[/quote] I've tried every frickin' experiment except the CA20DET hybrid thing and that's only because I just don't see the need for the few extra ponies/ few extra $$$s theory when you can take a completely stock CA18DET, dress it up with all the insurance parts such as (But not limited to) pistons, rods, cams, etc and get some seriously wicked and reliable power out of these little puppies. I've tried the CA16 cams and I didn't see a big difference in the CA16DE's camshafts. I've tried the CA18DE's camshafts and the car had a little more low end grunt and all these were with JWT ecus and between my two sentras.

I installed a set of regrinds and these showed a significant improvement in overall performance, but moreso in the mid and upper rpm ranges. Now I have the HKS 264 with the 8.5mm lifts and they perform like my regrinds, but have the fancy name.

I have another set of regrinds: intake 276 duration with a 11.5mm lift and exhaust is a 268 with an 11.25mm lift. I originally was going to use these cams in my built engine, but I opted to test the JUN 272s with the 10.5mm lift and the JUN solid lifter kit.

If you have a standalone ecu, you can better adjust your car to any engine modification and get the most out of any mod, even if it's just some stock N/A camshafts. If you're trying to gain big power just by adding on camshafts and no ecu work, then you all got another thing coming and that's for sure.
