CA18det vs SR20det(redtop)

[nlzmo400r]

yea the CA is looking better and better, as far as getting parts anyway, it seems both have amazing potential, and can run high hp numbers simply by beefing up the turbo and fuel consumption, id like to see a CA with the same amount of $$ as an SR to really see the difference in the track, how much hp does a STOCK CA have??

[themadscientist]

170hp at about 11psi

[r34 gtr]

i thought it was 175hp at 10psi? oh well, i forget how much torque it has though about the same?, could someone perhaps enlighten me?

[themadscientist]

Those are metric horsepower figures which tend to fall a little short of SAE so I chopped off 5 for the heck of it. I also don't know what .7 BAR equates to in pounds. Hey Artistic lisence!:D

[nlzmo400r]

well the sr2o from an s13 puts out an easy 2oo correct?< but how much torque do each of the motors have??

[Xero]

it makes 180hp at the fly at 7psi (1bar is 14psi)

This is Nissan CLAIMED horsepower, not a real dyno figure,

check the FAQ's from the first page,

donno man, it better be making well over 200 at 11 psi (providing you have the basics: decent exhaust/fuel delivery)

[Trigger]

well guys...i think you have made up my mind on this subject....I'm getting a CA . thanks for all the input on this

I love it when people post whore and gank threads. I had completely forgotten what this was about! hehehe

bone stock of course, a tight motor with a good turbo should do that with the mods you describe.

[nlzmo400r]

sorry, didnt meant to thread jack, and thanx for the info anyway

[float_6969]

It wasn't you nlzmo, this thread got jacked pages ago....

[Xero]

haha!! yeah!! it did

OH. Well bonestock for me will include what i descrbied heh. Those mods are coming with my CA hands down. the stock fuel/exhaust will choke the CA anything over 7/8psi boost (the KA parts i mean).

[nlzmo400r]

i like the mods list man!!, good stuff, anyway, keep me posted on ur CA swap, i hear about SRs alot, but rarely do i see CA

[gh0st]

i know this is from awhile ago...but it has some great info. the CA still a good gas efficent (thats what im looking for) and rev higher? i also like how its a bit cheaper than the sr. if anyone at a shop or anyone that has installed a CA18det could IM me i would much appreciate it so we could talk and i could get some info for my future swap.

This seems like the best CA vs SR thread out there. I have a question about the materials that the blocks are made out of. As stated, the CA has an iron block. The SR has an aluminum alloy block. Which of the two dissipates heat better?

[themadscientist]

aluminum.

[float_6969]

I love it when we re-hash 6 month old threads. It means people are using the search button and I LIKE THAT!!! Whoo Hoo! Keep it up! The big red button is our friend.

[themadscientist]

that's why I lick it good;)

[float_6969]

You make me feel like chicken.
