Does anyone know if the Sr20 Clutch and flywheel fit the Ca18det motor. If the bolts are different is there a conversion ou could do? Anyone know were some inexpensive kit would be.

Why wouldn't you just order a clutch for the CA? They are not the same and there isn't any conversion kit that I'm aware of.

use a ka clutch, remover the one dowel pin

or use a sr flywheel with sr clutch, and use a usdm s12 200sx starter, you will have to shave some spots in the bellhousing for clearance depending which clutch you use.

I'm pretty sure the FWD flywheel and clutch are of a smaller diameter than the RWD flywheel and clutch.

down here where i live, no one and i mean NO ONE has a ca. its only sr20 but everyones grown out of the sr20 here now its jz and rb motors. i can get an sr20 performance clutch from a close friend also a close shop.but as for a ca clutch, i have to resort to ordring from ebay or some jdm place loli was just looking to avoid ordering a ca clutch when theres so many sr's around. ill just have to buy a ka clutch.

if you're gonna buy a ka clutch, just buy a ca clutch.
