whats better a ca18det or ka24de or sr20, my friend want to sale me a ca18det for 1500 and he says that you can swap it without cuttin and welding sounds really easy. i really dont want to put a sr20 cause with the money that i will put in to it it seems i could jus get a rb26 swap, my goal is to make 12s then 10s and what ever after that is good, but i need to make 10s and better can you help me

i personally think the ka24 would be a better motor cause if you take off the turbos off the ca18t and the sr20 the is jus a lil better then the ka24de, but the ka24de is the motor that is in my car and i dont have to swap it, i jus dont know if i was to boost it, it will last as long as the sr20. and another thing is that the up grades seem to be limited by not have a variety for the ka

The KA is better. See you've answered your own question in your thread, so you didn't need a response from the CA community. In the future, when a moderator locks your thread, there's usually a good reason. We're not full-time pricks, but can be when members don't follow the rules. Please don't make us moderate, just use the forum and it's wonderful and helpful search function for the answers you seek. Now, I'm locking this thread as well. Good luck with your selection .
