Sold my S14, time to start an S13 coupe?

Post by **supra brit** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

CA is just such a tiny motor...it's hard for me to fathom it...how much hp is it capable of?

Post by **cys19** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

I remember a post showing a CA in Europe going at around 600bhp

Post by **Cyberkreig** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

I dont think even one small fraction of the people on this forum, much less in this thread will ever get a motor to the point where Cyl. Pressure is so High that they NEED a cast iron block or sleeving.

Post by **cys19** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

Oh well. The CA just sounds like a much better deal though. just for 1700, a whole 180sx front clip, a smaller and much simplier engine, as from what I've heard, and it fits further into the S13. Someone on NICO I remember saying he read an article that said they stopped putting CA's into the Silvia's b/c they were getting too expensive b/c they were so well built.

Damn...$1700? If all that you said has some truth, I'd like to know...

I know Nick's got a CA, maybe I'll have a talk with him about it...

I heard this place in GA named Jarco gives out CA front clips for 1700. I wish I had the experience to back up what I've said though.

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

Jarco doens't have CA's... they had like 3 in their whole existence as a business. you really can't find CA's anymore:( you might try JHOT in GA too, they get them from time to time. $1800 is the going price for a clip, $1400 for a motorset. Venus also has them, but the quality is hit or miss. Some people get great deals, some people get crap.

Oh and I have CA if you guys (or girl) missed that;) click the picture in my sig, or check out the CA forums. we're pretty friendly guys...

CA + 2psi = stock SR

Post by **JayPat83** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

uhhh i don't think so. nice try though

Post by **JayPat83** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

that is what i was told by the pros or maybe it was 5psi.

Post by **ceniack** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

what he ment is +2 psi over the stock boost of the CA to make it = the stock HP output of a stock SR with stock boost

at least that is the way i read it.

Post by **JayPat83** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

that is what i was saying. thank you ceniack

Post by **supra brit** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

i don't know what i'm going to do yet...I think the first thing I need to do is get money. lol.

or CA + stock SR turbo = stock SR hp. torque is still going to be lower, but the main reason in the HP differences between stock SR and stock CA is the craptastically small CA t25...

CA stock t25:

SR stock t25:

kinda hard to see the difference without them side by side, but the CA is tiny.

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

I would love a KA-T, but I'm thinking it would shorten the engine's life span.

Post by **JayPat83** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

you can find a ka laying around for like 200-500 bucks. try finding an sr for that much! KA-T all tha way baby!

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

KA-T is more tedious and you can't run as much booste on stock internals. Not saying it is a bad set up. Carlos and GR have very sweet KA-T setups. I am a fan of the CA though. Good solid Valve train and much less used and known. Sr is a good engine, parts redily available, but lacks that uniquness and sturdyness of the CA. Just my thoughts.

Post by **cys19** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

Torque is always good though. But yeah, if i had an s13, I wouldn't get an SR. It would either be KA-T or CA-T. I'm Chinese; I can't help being cheap.

^^haha, funny!

Post by **supra brit** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:57 pm

I just want to do something completely different with my car...
