anyone noticed this?

Post by **dvd** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 10:58 am

I've noticed in this forum and the other 240sx ones that there has been lots of ca18det motor sets, clips or wahtever for sale, i wonder why.

They all want a KA-T hehe.

Simple, they either didn't have enough knowledge/cash to do it or simply no longer want it .

Good for us faithful. Keeps the bandwagoners off our turf.

2 years with the CA and still rocking strong!!! In fact, I just upped the boost to 14psi. DAMN...this motor is awesome! And the "What the hell motor is that?" when I pop my hood for n00bs will NEVER get old!

Ive had my swap for about 5-6 years, and the car for 7 years. Some people just get bored, and want something else.

i love mine too eventhough it is not running yet. Just trying to get all the bugs out of the system first. The funny thing is that i called a local "tuner" shop in the area that "specializes" in SR's. I called to ask about wiring services for my CA before i decided to do it on my own, and the funny thing is that the owner stated "ive never even seen one of those before?". I just thought it was alittle comical to say the least.But yea, i love my CA and have not even driven it yet .

Post by **ceniack** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 8:19 pm

i ditched my KAT in favor of the CA. it was actually the motor i originally wanted anyway.

can't wait till i get all the kinks worked out.

Post by **dat_twinkie** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 2:26 pm

i remember when i just came back from picking up my front clip at rimsandthings and showed one of my friends who has 3 240sx.. he was like "what the hell is that? is that a skyline motor or something?" i just stared at him and said "god, you are f***ing stupid"..

Post by **ca20det** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 3:26 pm

here in quebec I think I'll be the 3rd one to have one... one bought a ca18det RHD silvia and trew a sr20det... cant wait to laugh at people for not knowing this ''legendary'' engine god I can't wait but doing a frame up is long

Post by **Jiggyfry** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 3:49 pm

You are mistaken if you're talkin aboot the ca18det. More than 3 people in all of Quebec with the engine. It isnt well known but its around more than that.

Post by **ca20det** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 5:44 pm

of course there is more than 3...

Post by **ser20det** » Fri Dec 08, 2006 8:25 pm

ca20det

your not alone running ca18det! i probably have one of the most cleanest silvia s13 in canadai'm living a dream....

What's a CA? Looks like I get to lean on one and see what it will do since the 180SX became my 180SX. You will do things to your own car you won't do to somebody elses. About all I need is cams and an engine management system. The VPC has served me well but piggyback is lame.

Post by **bias** » Fri Dec 08, 2006 9:34 pm

The prices on SR's have went up so much you have to sell two CA's just to to get one.

Post by **themadscientist** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 12:56 pm

I hope you get get 50% off coupon for lash killers with those SRs

Post by **mrzabala** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 9:50 pm

I cant wait to finish my 240sx and buy a ca for my 240z.

Post by **themadscientist** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 10:33 pm

You should rebadge it 180Z A freind of mine has an SR20 in a 240Z

Post by **ragenasian** » Mon Dec 11, 2006 1:57 am

Lovin my new 200sx with the CA in it. This is number 3 for me. First one i smashed into a tree at 100mph and started it right up and drove it into the garage. Second one I bought for 500 bucks with a fist size hole in the block. Started it up and drove it into the garage (the noise that thing made WOW). Third one I paid 2000 for it with 150,000 km and a very very clean body. It is nice to lay the smack down to some of these over hyped German cars on the bahn. Even got a complete CA motor for 150 bucks with turbo because the guy didn't know what it was. Wish I knew more about motor stuff so I could get a little more out of it but it is still loads of fun.

drop a 7MGTE in the 240zs ...

check out the supra forums if you dont believe, but its a pretty common recipe to get around 400 crank hp with only about $1k into a 7mgte

BTW, TMS, toss me an email, tyrannix at gmail, i have a few questions about that 7M twin plate that you have most of

themadscientist, arent you the one that has those crazy jdm groupbuys?

anyways, i wish i can spend more on my ca on things such has injectors, fpr. But damn, 510 needs so much restoring parts lol.

I'm really curious to see is there a big difference between a stock sr versus a stock ca with a sr turbo.
