I also agree!! If you spend money on a CA you might as well have just given it to some cheap whore and got herpes. I know i'd rather get herpes from a cheap whore than get a CA.

What a nice bunch of CA18 owners;) So helpful and motivating, yet so disgruntled. Go SR:D (back to that cheap assembly line, that is). The CA18 is a junkyard engine:D and that's why I love it so much.

ok seriously guys! i heard these engines are awesome and they really do hold their own against SR's (even better cuz it's Iron Block/Aluminum head)

how much do they make with all the stock parts...if i were to just buy one and swap it in?

also how hard is it to put one into a s14?

a good tight motor can contain 300hp with a head gasket. slw240 has a right to be disgruntled, his motor stood up in the engine bay, spun around and yaked oil at him:puke I think he had to call in the preists"the power of wrench compells you"!"the power of wrench compells you"!"the power of wrench compells you"!

I can't seem to get my noobish question answered in General, so I'll just throw it in here. What years did Nissan use the CA18DET?

Post by **skoob240** » Thu Apr 03, 2003 12:07 pm

89 - 91 i think. Sr's started in 91

Post by **nametakennow** » Thu Apr 03, 2003 12:07 pm

Did they use them in any other cars after that? I ask because in GA there's some rule about your engine being same age or newer (in years) than your car, and SR's are more expensive, so I was hoping maybe there's some car that used CA's through 96'... pretty sure there wasn't. Oh well...

More like 86-91! UK models were produced a little longer (I think till 94), but I could be wrong.

You are correct, in the UK the SR20 wasn't used untill they switched to the S14 model.
