Honestly, I never understand why people get in these debates. They are full of half truth and ego driven posts.

When people bash my set-up, it makes me want to beat out of every skill/thing they claim even more. When you take away their pride, the ego goes too. I do not care what they have to say, then you go to the track, you can not BS out of a lose.

If a guy said cheddar cheese was a viable fuel source would you bother to argue the point with him? Those were some pretty assanine comments from clueless people and not worth a response.

Pretty much, besides its Club4ag... They're about as equally worthless as ClubS12.

The CA was being bashed along with the VG and RB. Boy those guys know their Nissan engines

well having beat 4AGs with a CA18DE (I didn't forget the "T" either) and having beaten RB20DEts with a 20-valve 4AG I am comfotable in saying they are all motors at the top of their game. The 3T was a powerful motor as well but had a bad habit of rods trying to escape through the side of the block

well considering that majority of people use the sr20 wiring guide to wire the ca18..... i find that statement about being a wiring nightmare a little odd. the only thing that tripped me up was the whole knock sensor thing because it was never mentioned back in the day.

I don't understand how they're claiming a CA is hard to work on, I can pull out an engine in under 2 hours and anything that's tricky engine in becomes a breeze, head gasket can be done in 6 hours including remove and re-fit the engine
