Ca18det sr20det hybrid?

Post by **Broken Wings** » Sun Mar 08, 2009 6:10 pm

I was at a local car show last night just hangin with some friends and we were talkin to a guy who said he could do ca heads on an sr block. I have looked and i cant find anything on it. If anyone can find anything on it post a link please.

i highly doubt it, why would you even want to try???? the CA head isnt designed nearly as well as the SR (from what i can remember from looking at bench flow charts)

So whats the theory behind the hybrid?

Probably a low CC combustion chamber which would give a compression increase, but not so boost friendly.

He is completely and totally unequivocally 100% full of steamy fragrant BULLS**T!

Lets take a very quick look at the reasons it won't work.

SR is chain driven timing, the CA is belt.

SR and CA have different bore sizes.

SR and CA have different cylinder spacing.

SR and CA have different head bolt patterns and water passages.

Whoever this guy is he is either very very confused or a pathological liar.

that does sound pretty retarded

but if it could of been done ( just saying) it would eliminate the sr20s rockers, thatd be nice, but this hybrid is impossible

You could make CA20 either stroker or build one there's info on this site. I know its not the same but in the same vicinity.

I just talked to the guy again to day and he said he meant to say sr head on a ca block. I still highly doubt its possible tho.

Post by **simmode1** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 8:27 am

^^^ That's even more stupid...

Honestly, stop talking to this guy. He's going to fool some idiot into thinking he knows what he's talking about someday. Don't be that idiot.

well, we can safely confirm his status as a pathological liar.

Yea i decided to do some research and couldnt come up with anything. So i figured i would ask on the forums just to be sure.

Tell him just to do the 2JZ bottom with SR heads...its the new thing

I think you could of misunderstood that guy. You sure he didn't say CA20 block with CA18DET head. Dont know it this hybrid is possible or cheaper than SR20DET. But that would make more sense, as both are CA platform Iron blocks.

This would yield a CA20DET in theory. GL

this is why i dont and wont attend car shows,cause the s***s gay.and i dont like to categorize people and such, but this sounds like some grade A honda fanboi dork wagon jumpers who are acting like they know whatsup with sr/240sx and act "yo i been into this since you wuz drivin yo moms accord yo" when they were driving a civic, just got a 240 and think its a magical drift machine.yeah perhaps im reading too much into this. perhaps im not.either way, those 5 guys dont know whats up with anything but stupidity

Post by **Broken Wings** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 9:57 am

Yep. And as i recall one of them was planning to put a dodge 318 engine from a dart in hiss 240 coupe. WTF? The people in my hometown are retarded.

I think you should stop attending those shows. Or hang out with a crowd, that possess some kind of knowledge, not fan boyz. $hit I hate going to meets, that have people from wide spectrum. They will bulls*** you, just so you listen and they try to fit in. I gotz not problem with hanging out with Nissan/Infinity people, or someone that respect others and know their $hit. I try to keep my trap shut, unless I know what I'm talking about.

If you meet up with them, tell them you got a ISB Cummins engine from dodge pick-up. And you have to notch you firewall to fit it. Than it's going to be crazy six powa.

i know a guy who put a Cummins diesel in a 67 T-Bird!!! It was beyond awsome....there isnt anything wrong with being different, but these guys sound like F-ing morons...

Find a different crowd...

Post by **Broken Wings** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 10:54 am

Yea.There were some cool dudes that knew there s*** tho.

Post by **simmode1** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 12:26 pm

Yeah, man... you gotta know your stuff in order to be able to call B.S. when you hear it. I love doing that... In a crowd of ppl, calling on them and then explaining exactly why.

Yep. I'm an a$$ like that.
