Ummmm........just wanna find some stuff out.... I hear the CA18det revs higher than an Sr20det..... well how much?

umm... where abouts is the CA glass ceiling so to speak on a $10,000 budget?

Iron block?........ what is the sr aluminum?

I know the SR has piston cooling oil squirter thinggy's.... CA?

I'm basically just worried about aftermarket support.... how does that all shape up?

Thanks

A CA with forged/cryo'd pistons will rev to 9,000 safely.

You could easily have 500 (safe, relatively easy, reliable )horsepower for $10,000 dolllars.

Yes, Iron block.

Yes, the CA has them as well.

Aftermarket is fine, your choice of companies is only limited by who imports parts. There are just as many CA parts as SR, its just not as many places carry them. I will have a full line of CA parts when my shop opens, as well as SR and probably some RB as well.

Anything Else? : )

<--Hijacks thread. Hey Daunttless? With the aformentioned $10K, what would need to be done to get a CA to 500hp? I know BIG turbo, injectors, fuel pump, probably a stand alone, but what about to the engine itself. Anything besides forged pistons? <--see I've been reading. The SR needs re-sleeving right? Does it need anything else? rods? pistons? Could one get over 400hp on either engine on the cheap, so to speak.

Here, it's a link to a guy that race prepped his CA18DET.

All prices are approximations and in no particular order.

And several thousand in labor unless you were getting a deal, which, with all that stuff you probably would be, especially from me. : )

what size turbo is going to produce 500hp in a 1.8?

Does anyone have dyno's for **** like that?

umm...... how much heavier than the SR is the CA?

I was planning on going with a TODA 2.2 liter kit for the SR, are big name players like TODA involved in the CA aftermarket?

Names?..... websites?

umm...... also, it seems as though the CA is an older design engine....? Am I wrong?

Also, I don't like the fact that this thinggy under my name says I am driving my mothers car. I ride a 2002 Suzuki GSX-R 600. (Yes I wouls love to race you) Anyone gonna tell me how to fix that?

Keep Posting.

I didin't know TODA made a 2.2 litre stroke kit, I thought that was only JUN.

go to http://www.takakaira.com

Basically anyone who's involved in SRs is involved in CAs and RBs.

There are lots of turbos and it depends on your specific application, a GT2530 will put 320 to the ground as a reference point. : ) You can go much, much larger than a GT2530, just depends on how big you want to get.

Isn't reliabilty going to become an issue with a stroker kit? And what about boost? What would be the advantages of a boosted, stoker kit-equiped motor? I'm only familiar with Honda kits, and their usually only used in all motor n/a applications.

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 4:52 am

Well, the stroker kit makes it a 2.2 litre SR, and most people don't just put in a stroker kit. To get the whole package its about 15 thousand dollars, and that comes with upgraded EVERYTHING, the whole motor is worked into race form. I personally wouldn't just put a stroker kit in, but to each his own. : ) The advantage is an increase in displacement, and if you get the whole setup you can run the redline a lot higher.

Post by **MikeMichaelWho** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 4:52 am

yeah, i caught on to the hubcap-intake/exaust-moms car thing a lottle slow.

Toda's stroker kit includes fully balanced pistons within .25 grams of eachother. Rods, rings, wrist pins, and crank are also included.

umm.... rb's huh............. I wish I lived in a communist country where I had no choice of what to stick in my car.

where can I read up on those old 2.0 inline sixers from the skyline?.... maybee even buy one

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 4:52 am

you don't want a RB20DET. Spend the extra cash and at least get a RB25DET if yer gonna put anything in there..

Post by **MikeMichaelWho** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 4:52 am

just give me a place where I can go read about the damn things

Post by **MikeMichaelWho** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 4:52 am

that wasn't ment to sound as rude as it does

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 4:52 am

Hehe, I don't take offense don't worry. I can't think of any place offhand, but a search for RB20DET should yield you results. : )

Post by **MikeMichaelWho** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 4:52 am
