Hey gani, where in ATL are you? Im in the kennesaw area just north of there and im getting my ca on ebay right now. Im gonna do the swap after many many mods to the motor then have it all up and going in about 3-4 months. Just wondering if you know of any places around here to get cams, cam gears, or just general motor parts.

[wangless]

ca on ebay ?... that doesnt sound promising

[gani]

hks or tomei make cams and cam gears thats what ill be running really soon or you can go with ca16 cams they are pretty good for tha money

[float_6969]

gani-do you have the ca16 cams on your car? If so, did you notice a difference?

[nab911]

lol yeah i know, but its from JHOT of augusta which is right next to me and i know people who have gotten motors from there that are really good and i havnt heard anything bad. They just told me that they only sell through ebay so....

Quote »the people with the really fast modded cars usually dont spend their time posting on car forums.[/quote] I don't know about the rest of you, but I resent that comment. My girlfriend has a very fast sentra with CA18DET in it that is heavily modded and I do mean heavily. And the beauty of it, I am damn near in a class by myself because not too many people in this country or world period care to even take the B12 sentra to the levels I've taken mine with the CA18DET. Also have one with an extremely built engine and a sweetly built gearbox. And though I do drive a fast car with a CA18DET, I'm not too good whereas I can't share my good fortune and knowledge with other CA18 owners or people in general.

I emailed jun about cams.. but then it hit me... they are japanese. How am i supposed to get tomei or jun cams if all their prices are in yen and stuff... and does anyone have a basic conversion? Caus im not bill gates... i just want some power.

Excellent... but now.. can i order straight from them using USD? And i just realized.... i have to convert to solid lifters dont I? and the tomei site is saying stuff about shims... do i need the shims to conver to solid lifters.. and thats 300 all on its own.

And if you're going to use radical cams, your head will have to be modified.

I'm in VA... CA18ET though... My little brother and I are trying to get a CA18DET for his S13 hatchback... I've got an S12.
