I've seen that we have a sticky on where to buy Ca18 but we dont have a sticky on good suppliers that carry Ca18 parts for the newbie’s to the Ca18 world (I.e. me) i know about the Ka and Sr but nothing about the Ca. If there was a place to post new finds and where all parts prices could be listed and also i had a question i've heard that you can take the bottom end off a Ca20 and convert your Ca18, is that true and what would you need to do for it to work. Also i've been looking but havent found an answer how high can a tuned CA18 rev and is it heavier then the KA.

For basic factory parts, Nissan. The aftermarket is sparse but there is stuff out there. Scroll through past threads and you will find some good leads.

It is not impossible but it is damned difficult. The extra 200ccs are not worth it my opinion unless you are going no-holds-barred because beefing up the CA20 short block and getting the DOHC head on there will take skill and money
