So searching around and finding craploads of sr20 tech dvds but I am not finding any ca18 tech dvds. Are there any ca tech dvds? I am planning on getting a ca but I would like some visual knowlege about them. I dont know much about engines (just enough to f*** s*** up) so I am trying to do my research. Should I just get the sr20 tech and swap dvds? or would that just mess me up even more?

No there is not. No such thing sir. Unfortunately you must search out the information and read it. The information is here and in a few other CA specific forums though.

If you ask, someone's bound to respond!

Happy researching! And welcome to this money pit we all like to call CA! LOL

Good question, I will be making some tech documentaries shortly, more about modifications and such with how to's..

But if there is a call for something specific I will try to accomodate.

Hey, if I were you man, I would look into motor design and building in general. I got a start on farm motors as a kid, and had no trouble learning a bit more to get in the turbo scene. The worst thing about working on a jdm motor(read, any motor not dime a dozen in the USA) is getting a spare part in a hurry if you break it or lose it. The CA18 is so simple to learn about, when I built on the procedures were the same as every other motor. Disassemble, clean, spec, cut and polish, measure for bearings, test fit motor, disassemble, reassemble and final torque. Then gaskets and outer pieces and voila!
