I Love Morons

The SR happened in the early 90's when Nissan needed to save money on entry level cars, like the S chassis. By 96, they were damn near broke, hence the end of the Z.

Who pulls who boils down to two things: Powerband and how well you (as a driver) can use it (whatever shape it may be).

If, together, these two are greater than the other car AND driver - you win.

I've not yet dyno'd but my car FEELS to have a smoother, possibly wider (if not as tall) powerband.

Those SR's just better wait until we get out collective rear end's in gear (4.363 gear to be exact)

Unfortunately I'm about to be moving so I won't be getting mine put together anytime soon or working on anything else for a month or so

I agree with this to some extent because I can recall back in 1997 when I put my 1st CA16DE into my 1987 sentra, I was literally roughing-up the 2 litre SE-Rs. And in 1999, my CA18DE was laying the smack down on the Civic Si B16A powered vehicles in the upper rpm range. The sentra that my girl and I currently have in use is a sadistic puppy from 4000-8200rpm; just plain rediculous to control .

and yes mike peters is a tool, but unfortunately he is unavoidable if you are in the scene in the area.

i used to race my friends with my JDM CA18DE RWD and the SR's and B16 would give me about 10 car lenghts, and my best friend who had a CA16DE powered B12 couldnt make a note even again D15 hondas, i find that statement impossible to beleive..

now back to the CA is a piece of crap thread...

I disagree ca19det.

i have a friend locally. his name is franz. funny name for a black guy but hus panamanian. anyhow he has i believe a 1992 sentra ser sr20de, headar,intake, test pipe and exhaust. stock ecu. easily beats b16 hondas with the same mods and can get some some of hte light tuned gsr's on the highway.

fact is, FF cars are disadvantaged when tuned with the wrong weight balance. so rockin 2 12's in your car on an integ makes u slower in a sense. especially when ur a gay honda ricer with 20 ppl in ur car tryin to race everyone in town!" its true and u know it is"

You don't believe much anyway, so what difference does it make. You finding my statement impossible doesn't surprise me either. Nevertheless, before you go finding any statement impossible, I never specified what type of endurance contest it was (ie 1/4 mile, dead-stop, highway, drifting, etc). But if you must know, the honda I'm referring to got beat on the highway (believe it or not), and the SE-rs were again literally roughed-up on rolling contests (remember the word literally). Not saying my car was faster or nor my engines better than any of those individuals whose path I've crossed and gave them a run for their money, but when the pedals were pushed my car seem to be out in front and not because they felt sorry for an old sentra with a fart can on it.

Honda engines are good for what they are, but don't make them look like they are the baddest engines on the planet. Last I recalled, nissan did have an SR16VE that did wonders as well. You put any engine in a car that don't weigh anything and it's going to move "Point Blank" which seems to be the practice of people who worship honda's product (little 2 dr hatch civic, stripped with one seat and an H22 or something of that sort). Cute and cuddly, but not my flavor.

See, I know Mike before he knew anything. Which was last week. But seriously, he really talks a lot more than he knows. He was ok at Hondas, but he has always been a driver, not a tuner.

[/quote]yeah sorry but i take everything with a pinch of salt, and that story sounded really - um salty lol, i thought it was a drag race, we dont do rolling starts locally, or highway runs... so i was thinking 1/4 mile and based on what i have seen and experienced..

We live for controversy around here ! Good healthy debates is what keeps this place fun.
