[themadscientist]

ask and ye shall receivehttp://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003....html

[stoops417]

sooooo.... translate some of that for us???

[themadscientist]

Well,

1mm overbore forged pistons 84mm

4.5mm stroker crank 88mm

increases displacement to 1950cc

lowers compression to 8.3:1

costs about $2500.00

And unless you have someone in Japan who can buy it for you, you can't get it! Muhahahaa!:evilhaha ooooooh the screams of anguish, I always thought I would make a great Cenobite, youknow with like turbo compressor wheels all over my head or something.

[stoops417]

well.... umm.... not sure what all is there but...

-price?

-exact displacement?

-estimated gains\results?

btw... you are originally american yes? if so... how hard is it to learn Japanese.... ive always wanted to but scince it's not based on latin like most european languages i thought it might prove highly difficult...

Japanese is not that easy, Speaking Japanese is not that hard but the kana is a pain in the A$$. you need to know over 2000 kana to read the paper.

[themadscientist]

It's easy to learn, the subjects and verbs are flipped around and there are three parallel languages to be used depending on who you are talking to but the rules are easy and apply ALL THE TIME, unlike English.

i have inlaws near tokyo... want to go visit about the time the auto-salon is...hehe do most people speak english around there like some other major foreign cities?

[themadscientist]

a few, don't expect to survive with just English.

[CA18Fastback]

any good references for speaking japanese? i would like to learn.

thanks!-Ian

Such a waste of good suffering........

If you want a 2.0L CA motor, just go with the CA20e you can find in most 1984 to 1988 200sx's, then get a gooood set of forged rods and pistons custom made. and the CA18DET head will BOLT ON to the block. plus you'll have better rod/stroke ratio and you'll still come up cheaper than $2500. I am just going big bore with my motor because I can't find a set of 83mm pistons. unless someone has some non holed stock pistons theyd want to get rid of?????

cheers,McAdam

[sr20meplease]

isn't the ca20 a fwd engine?

[McAdam]

not strictly, came in the 200sx, the 240sx's predecessor (sp?) as well as early stanzas. they are all over junkyards

cheers,McAdam

hmmm....that sounds like a plan, know of any places that have more info on this? this motor will go in S13's right?

[slw240sx]

if you want a 2.0 get a SR20det

[Siddhartha]

Will what he's saying about ca20 work?

[Siddhartha]

Anyone??

[twofaze]

if you want a 2.2 get a SR22det kit

[themadscientist]

the DE head will bolt onto the CA20 block. You will need a custom length timing belt though due to the taller deck on the CA20. I would HIGHLY recommend having forged rods and pistons made to replace the weak ones in the 20.

[Siddhartha]

Thanks, TMS, know anything else special about this engine combo?

[themadscientist]

I might have a 20 in the pocket, if I get it I am going to throw it together to check for problems. If I do it I'll put up a thread with what I discover.

[Siddhartha]

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! Thanks TMS

[Siddhartha]

Anyone know where I can find some Stanza performance parts...

[CA19DET]

why not, over sized custom pisotns with relocated pin hieght and custom rods?? hmmmmm.. right now i am at 1862cc's or something, so i can say i am CA19 technically if we are rounding off to the hundreths,
