I am very confused in life. i dont know what to put into my car. i kinda want to just be legal and tweek with swaping a ka24de and dump the ka24e. then some days i wanna get an rb25det. and even others a vq35de out of a 350z. everyone tells me just go sr20 cuz its cheap and easy but everyone and there mom has one yea easy but still. and i was wondering with this being a ca18 page what are your opinions about the ca18 im open for anything and everything what im looking for is ease cost and lagitimacy. i kinda like the ca18 cuz noone where i live has one but everyone i know thinks there slow and would punch me in the eye if i got one. but i just wanna know what people with ca's think about them how they feel and drive and what not so just hit me back with what you think thanks

I recommend you do nothing. If the choice is not so natural you lay awake at night thinking about it, it isn't worth doing.

lol....

Well man, I'd have to say don't choose a motor based on what other people think. If a sr20det is best choice for you why not get one. Who cares if its the top swap for 240's there is a reason for that. Just do whats feels right to you not others.

Again, its all about your preference. Ooh and what you can spend on a motor! If its to be different you want, try a v10...that would be awesome! . I just swapped a ca18det into my 240sx, and its great! If you want something with tons of torque, get a rb25det. Research all the motors, because they all have thier advantages and disadvantages

If your lazy and are getting someone else to install the motor and just want a decently fast car with no head aches get a sr20.

If your a mad fabricator get the VQ, if you love working and fixing s*** on cars get the CA18, its like a high maintence actress thats addicted to meth, s***s a wild ride but you gotta hold its hand the whole time.

And sometimes she OD's and has to be laid up in the hospital for months at a time. Damn she looks good doing it though!
