Hey I had one. It blew up though. :(

:) Just saying hi to all the Nissan owners in the Atl. Anybody else in here has a CA?

I had one but it was soo damn slow. So I put a DOHC KA in.

[ragingpanda]

you guys sound like the engine is not that worth it. hahaha. I don't know but my rwd CA is pretty much faster than my KA, :bigok: but slower than most KA-T 240sx

[HalfBaked]

Did you have a SOHC or DOHC 240?

[ragingpanda]

Well there ya go.

A stock CA is about the same as a DOHC 240.

[auxiliary]

ca's suck.

[PSINXS]

^ :werd:

[ragingpanda]

nothing is wrong with CA. If I want power in my 240 then I'd do KA-T but for everything else in between(mountain driving, autox, road course) CA is the way for me. I will never put a RB in my 240. As for SR...only if I can't have my CA or KA-T. DOn't get me wrong...all engines are great, just not for me. My CA makes more hp then dohc ka...unless you turbo it then i'll shut up. hahahaha

[HalfBaked]

No seriously.

Dyno a stock CA.

I made 145 whp and 154 ft lbs of torque in my stock DOHC KA. CA's will be very close.

[ragingpanda]

i know it's not a huge differ in stock form, but the CA will make more HP since it's a mother to get some good power out of NA KA. THe only way is to turbo it and like I said, KA-T is another topic....a beast. I hope the comment earlier "ca's suck" was a joke because it's far from it. Once again, if I go KA, Id turbo it.

[auxiliary]

When I get rid of my stock t25 on my sr, do you want it?

[ragingpanda]

oh so funny...another sr guy. That explained everything.

[1439/2000]

he would be a ca guy but there isnt a bandwagon for those because they are slow.

[FDslider]

hahahehe, you bastards crack my ass up. RagingPandanuts, I was an SR guy, well, I still have it now, and have had it for 2 and a half years now. I am just as happy with it now as I was the first day I drove it. You said you wanted to do a lot of mountain runs, auto-X, and all of that other bullshit, but an SR would have been a better choice due to its RELIABLITY, LIGHT WEIGHT (I am pretty sure it is the lightest motor you can put in a 240, beides an SR20DE, but you know what I am saying), and excellent response to modifications. There is a reason why there is a HUGE bandwagon for SR's now, but that is the sad, sad reason why I am selling all of my SR shit (including my immaculate 240 hatch w/type-x's, 56K original miles, SR20DET, damn it really is a nice car) and I know I will miss it. But, I want to start something new again. What will it be? who the fuck knows. I guess the point to this long-ass post is: CA's SUCK! hehehehehe

[ragingpanda]

fast or slow is all depends on the owner. Can he/she tune it or not and how much money he's/she's willing to spend. The only reason you don't see tons of CA with high ass HP is because most of the owners are pretty much satisfied with around 250whp. What the hell am I going to do with a 300whp+ on a car for autoX and mountain run with only 2500lbs.. There is something called too much power...if you're into drag racing then there isn't but you get my drift. But if you want some high hp ca's, there are several out there if you're willing to search because that engine is made for serious tuning.

Go to CA section on http://www.nico.com and see what I mean. I'm glad there isn't a bandwagon for CA, because it would be gay to have a bunch of import tuner's readers instead of people that actually researched :bigok: .

ca is lighter and sits lower in the engine bay my friend. It can rev up to 8000rpm without breaking anything, I dare to see the SR do that on stock format. Those characteristics are perfect for my mountain runs, autox, and "bullshits". Since when CA is a high maintainence engine. If you putting down 300whp+ on your SR, then you shouldn't be telling me about good reliability unless you deal with the valvetrain. How CA isn't excellent response to modifications when it can keep up with the SR with the same mods even though it's about 15hp less in stock form. Do you even know CA at all? You owned or experienced one before? What an intellectual way to determine an engine, based on the bandwagon. I guess you used to have a riced out civic also huh?
You know yuda right? He's my close friend and the only person he trusts going to the mountain with...I'm still looking for a reason why he's your friend. Are you the guy that rear-ended someone?If so...i'm searching even harder for a reason.

[HalfBaked]

No I'm pretty sure people don't get 300+ out of CAs because they can't not because they don't want to.

[ragingpanda]

there's a guy in kennesaw with one. You want to visit him?
http://www.geocities.com/dsaiyanz/ca.jpg
This thread if turning from me simply saying hi to another one about ca vs sr, and not once did I said CA is better. You guys simply cannot accept the CA being as good or better, not because of facts. That just showed you spent more time typing than thinking. The reason why SR is so popular isn't because it's the BEST out there but because it's the current/newer one. Just because the media didn't concentrate on an engine that's 15 yrs old don't mean it's not just as good. That means you guys think toyota 22R is a POS also.

[yudalicious]

SRs suck CAs rule... but the D16 > all.

[Pumaking]

This thread is cracking me up b/c everyone is saying the CA sucks but wont even bother to explain why it "suppoably" sucks, with that said it leaves to be that you guys really dont know why it sucks your just spewing garbage. Now lets get down to some facts.

The SR is not the lightest motor dont be fooled by the aluminum block crap, the SR is actually 40 lbs heavier than the CA18DET. The CA is a 1.8l as the SR is 2.0 189cc doesnt make that much of a difference. The CA head design is amazing and the SR head is garbage, SR suck in higher rpm's and will cause a problem thats called Valve Float again due to the crappy head design. Why does the SR produce 205 hp simple b/c it has a bigger turbo than the CA. After numerous people putting on SR T25 turbos on there CA's they produce the exact HP hmmm amazing huh.

Alright lets break it down price wise as well these prices wont include things to spend on such as intercooler, piping, exhaust, just parts for motor performance.
Aight my CA was $950 included everything harness, tranny, motor, turbo etc etc.
SR20 usually go for $1900-$2300 for a normal S13 red top.
That leaves me with about $1000-$1400 to spend due to the savings.
Well lets see I could spend $150 for a SR T25 and since it bolts right up to the CA manifold no problems, so thats 205 hp for the CA now hmmm for $1100 I now have the same power as the SR but with all the benefits that the CA has such as better head and block and higher revs. say I dont want the SR T25 I could go with a T3/T04E for $350 from Garrett, external wastegate $200, 550cc Injectors $200, FPR $100, Fuel pump $90, $20-$200 tuning either Rom Tune or Mega Squirt, $30 for Z32 MAF or $0 since Megasquirt uses and comes with a Map sensor, T3 manifold $179

Thats $1169-$1319 and with all that, will produce a CA with about 320-340 WHP.
so in total thats about $2000 for a CA then add in like $600 for things you need to complete the swap such as intercooler, exhaust, parts, gasket, lines, fluids, etc etc so $2600 to swap in a CA with 330whp oh yea those prices dont include clutch b/c my motor came with a Nismo Stage 2 clutch so it will handle that hp, but add another $200-$300 for clutch as well.

BTW it takes more money to produce 300+whp for a SR than a CA and its easier on the CA.

Also the stock CA's internals can handle 500whp if done properly and tuned properly, and yes its been done before numerous times. So far the record for a CA is around 750+ whp. Now tell me again why the CA sucks?

Chill man. I am only fucking with you. I really don't give a damn what you put in your car, what you do with your car, or anything. And no, I have NEVER owned a riced out civic. I think I know who you are now. Don't take my shit seriously, I am just throwing words on here to fuck around with people. What was your name again? I think you came to my house one time with either Yuda, Kamau, Paul, hell I can't remember. When is the next time anybody is going up to the mountains? I have not been on a mountain run in a WHILE. The only reason anybody else is fucking with you is cuz of personal preference. That is the only reason the KA-T vs. SR battles are ALWAYS going on. Either way, if something makes the power that you want, then it is fine with me. I wanna see it when you get done, and if you need any help, just let me know.

BTW, are you 100% positive that the CA weighs less? I have seriously never researched that, so I don't know. I have never had a reason to fuck with a CA when I have had my SR for a couple years now. Anyways, I think I am done for now. Oh well, see ya later bitches!

[Kalifornia087]

yeah i talked to a guy at SFS3 who had a black SE coupe with a CA18det in it, and his son had an SR... he admitted it was not as fast, and he was going to go SR, but the CA was about 1000 to 1500 bux cheaper... im getting a 240 soon and may be thinking about CA next year because it is easier to save up for... also he noted that it would beat KA's (n/a) all day

[HalfBaked]

Prove it.


Also, that car is kennesaw made what 302? And he is selling it...It's a t3/t4 right? I bet that car is fun off while you are off boost...

[yudalicious]

see panda I told you this forum sucks; with the exception of a few, no one knows what they're talking about and they rather fight over retarded shit like whose 16 second civic is faster (actually quite entertaining, gotta love them e-thugs)... I just noticed there was an ad banner for "ekletic genes"... just when I thought this forum couldn't get any lower, what kinda car forum has sponsorship from a clothing company lol.

yea Brandon we should def go up again, I have been very busy with the MCAT, how's everyone doing? I haven't spoked to any of them for awhile.

[mocha latte cupcake]

Hey hey hey now.... there is nothing wrong with RB's.... sigh ok so they break alot... but yeah i got love for the CA.

[FDslider]

YUDA!!! Damn, keep up the good work in school. I am in the middle of a fabrication course and suspension setup/geometry. F1 cars are fun as fuck to work on, but there are too many damn Nascar pieces getting in the way!! Everybody else is doing good for now. Nobody really heads up to the mountains these days anymore, I guess everyone is just too busy. I head up there every now and then just to have some peace, I hate people in case you did not know this already. Hit me up sometime and we all can head up to Blood Mtn. sometime.

[ragingpanda]

I"m not trying to start anything with anybody so if I offended you somehow...i didn't mean to...especially S14Slider. Yes, even though CA has iron block it's lighter than SR. Let's put everything aside and get along.*hold hands around a fire*...wtf...that's pretty gay...nm

I have no problem with anybody picking any engine because like I said, they're all great. Hell, if I have like four 240sx's i would do them all:CA,SR,KA-T,RB. All about personal preferences my friends.

The problem that got me off is when people be dissing another engine even though they don't know shit about it. CA vs N/A KA is a joke...unless it's a freaky NA build up then oh yes...me like.

[Pumaking]

Prove it.

Gash I hate people like you I'm not gonna spoon feed you, but I will reply this.

These Videos are the CA powered S13 in Japan in the video the car was producing 680whp this was over a year ago the car is now over 750.

http://www.pb-addict.com/~modaccess/CA18DET.wmv

http://www.pb-addict.com/~modaccess/ca18det1.wmv


As for the 500hp on stock internals go to www.sxoc.com and NICO and search for it.

As for the CA on a T3/T4 whats wrong depending on the size of the compressor and turbine the t3/T4 will hit full boost in 2800-3200 rpm's if its not fun before it hits full boost what makes you think the SR will be on the same turbo, come on man think before you speak seriously your making a fool of yourself. Dont forget the SR N/A and CA N/A only have like 10hp difference.

[PacoX]

No"seriously.

Dyno a stock CA.

I made 145 whp and 154 ft lbs"of torque in my stock DOHC KA. CA's will be very close.

That's a remarkable KA or corrected numbers then. Stock DOHC KA is right around 125-130 whp, little"more torque. This fits closely"with the typical 15%-20% drivetrain losses one would expect witj a RWD vehicle (as stock KA is rated at 155 hp, 160 tq flywheel+

There are video's of SR's doing the same thing.

Will my SR be like that? --No.
Will your CA be like that?--No.

Depends on the motor I have seen healthy ka's do 150 ish all day.

Mine made 148 hp 155 tq

Ever seen a Camaro put down numbers to the wheels higher than its flywheel claimed hp is? I have.

[1439/2000]

Also that motor is a ca21 probably with like a jun kit.

wow thank you guys Auxilary has proven to me that this forum is nothing but a bunch of fucking idiots who think they know it all, and cant accept the fact that they are wrong, some of you state the CA sucks with no facts or information as to know what they are talking so obviously I shed some light and fact and even provide some media of a amazingly insane CA and STILL cant accept the fact that the CA is actually a better motor than the SR, the only thing the SR crew say to redeem them selves is that the SR motor is popular for a reason WTF, Hey guess what McDonalds has over a billion served does it make it better than Wendy's or Burger King or maybe In and Out shit what the fuck is wrong with this forum.

The ca is better than the ca?

Mcdonalds is good.

One video isnt convincing me of shit. You post that and think people are going to say" Hot damn Ca's are better than SR's" because of a video?

I could post some videos proving otherwise of a LOT of engines but why?

Most engines have their strong point and I know alot of the strong points of CA's and point for point. I feel an SR is better. A so do alot of EDUCATED people. Not to say an sr is the best motor ever but its better than a ca for a starting point.

[auxiliary]

I was just saying that that CA has a lot of power, but are you really going to make a car like that?

Just like I could post a video to a 700 hp SR, but am I going to have one?--No.

[Pumaking]

again you guys yield to provide any info to back your claims up. Facts speak louder than your stupidity, Auxiliary no you didnt say the CA has a lot of power you keep saying it sucks, Of course im not going to have a 700hp car b/c 1 I dont need one, 2 the turbo alone is insanely expensive, 3 I know that I cant handle 700hp and no one else on this forum can. Auxiliary please post that 700hp sr cause so far I havent seen it yet with a clip of the dyno sheet. .

1439/2000 I already proved my point, you asked me to prove the 700hp CA and 500 hp on stock internals easy go search on Nico and Sxoc numerous people on sxoc have done it. You asked for it I presented it. You feel the SR is better but again you havent explain the reasons why they are better but than again there isnt much to explain as there isnt any, please dont give me its got a timing chain bullshit theres a reason why the RB and VG motors are designed after the CA, there is a reason some of Nissan's earlier engine designers say the SR was designed so horribly and cheaply. You know why the CA was discontinued not b/c it sucked or didnt perform well quite the opposite it was b/c it was designed so extremly well that it cost to much to produce and thus the SR20 was born dont forget usually when a company is doing bad they'll skimp on things for example the SR. But whatever I'm sure you knew all that. I'm done with this forum nothing but fucking idiots and retards.

[ragingpanda]

The purpose of this thread is to find fellow Nissan owners in ATL. Instead I got a bunch of Nissan retards. You guys just simply told me CA sucks for no reason whatsoever. Was my thread about "CA is better than SR?" No.

Then I provided some basic knowledge to show that CA might not be better but just as good in case you're all sensitive. Pumaking then provided informations and clips to show that the engine is just as good and you guys missed the point completely. 3 pages already and still no hard facts from the guys that said CA sucks. tsk tsk tsk....this is new level of retardation. I just want all of us to fuckin get along and have respect for all engines...wtf.

[ragingpanda]

Man, some of those fols are real knuckle heads . I see a bunch of ignorant kids who just don't know any better. I refuse to entertain them, but you quote me: After 16 years of wrenching on nissans, 9 years of toying with the CA series, 7 years of wrencing on SRs, 6 years of wrenching on KAs, and honorable mentions are the VG sereies as well as the RB and the GA, the SR is the cheapest built and the worst designed of the bunch. The KA is also an attempt by nissan to try and build cheap low maintenance engines by using timing chains and big displacement bores to make torque and hp, and for the most part it worked. It worked at the expense of reliability, difficulty of servicing, and cost of repair. If you've never owned a CA or owned one and blew it up, that's your fault. Srs blow-up all the time, spit-up rocker arms like a 1 month old baby does his/her formula, and have many owners on these forums combing for answeres to their dilemmas.
One would have to ask, why isn't the RB series, which is nissan's pride and joy as well as the VG series, designed with timing chains and rocker arms? The SR and KA was designed in era where our beloved nissan company was having major financial troubles. If you're broke, you're going to do things a little more conservatively. That explains the massive market for afternarket parts for both the KA, SR, and all honda engines "They Need it" . Last I remember, the RB and VG series resembles that of the CA. We even share the same oil filter, coil packs, and the same theory from factory. The SR is on it's on with borrowed technology from the CA and other nissan predecessors who have paved the way for the SR.

So if CAs suck, then the SR ain't nothing but a much cheaper deep throater. The CA is what it is 'An icon' that you new school SR jocks need not look down on. With my CA powered sentras, I've whacked many SR/haltech powered SE-R's as well as 240s, so it's not what you got, but who's got it. And I drive around with better than 350hp with A/C, p/s, and a full interior. I'm not saying SRs suck, but in the hands of scrubs, it's just another nissan engine to me.

P.S. pass it on to your local forum..................

[1439/2000]

This is a pretty funny thread from the CA forum.

ok... yesterday i put on my manual boost controller and i was out testing it with someone and at about half throttle it hit 16 psi so we stopped and he adjusted it down and another run down the street and getting on it SLIGHTLY it hit 19 psi, so we turned around and i was just going to head back to my house and adjust it again and once again i BARELY got on it and hit 19 psi and i heard something come off the car and bounce off the ground and then the car died. we couldnt find anything on the side of the road, we looked forever too. The car runs like hell, wont really go anywhere and is definetly getting fuel, my dad had to come tow me home about 1/8 mile. We searched for any boost leaks and i checked all the IC piping this morning pretty well and nothing is detached that we could find. My friend says the turbo sounds fine but if there is no leaks, what else would it be? If only i could find whatever fell off the car, that could prolly solve this whole situation, but we cant find anything so thats outta the question. WHat do you guys think?? Any suggestions would be great.. thanks alot

Another one:

was having a little fun the other night on my way back from picking up perscriptions from the cvs downtown (after being released from the hospital) and i look in my rear view mirror and cant see. smoke (white) is completely filling the street behind me. now, it is hard to describe the sheer epic proportions of this.... think james bond's aston martin db5 times two. filled all 3 lanes of the road and went about 15 feet up. you COULD NOT SEE behind the car. there was a loud pop right before the smoke according to the 2 people in the car behind me, and the smoke started pitch black and then faded to a very light grey/white. it smelled like 2 stroke.

my oil pressure was fine (25lbs idle, 60 under load) and my temp was fine. car runs like a top. i have no idea what happened, but i am very afraid to drive my car until i figure it out. please help me!

Common upgrade section:

4. Turbo upgrade options: SR T25, T28 and beyond. Fitting an s13 SR20DET turbo is a bolt on affair! All that is required is you clock the compressor housing about 10 degrees (with a pair of snap ring pliers)! S14 and S15 turbos are similarly easy to install, but since I have never done those myself, I will leave it up to someone else to verify this fact.

Mmmm nothing says "Performance Boost" like a big ass SR turbo.

importatlanta.com is freaking retarded, infested mostly by ricers. I posted on the Nissan board to just say hi and see if there's any local CA owner. They started off by saying "ca's suck" or comparing it to a KA and saying they're about the same in horespower.

"I had one but it was soo damn slow. So I put a DOHC KA in." I'm glad there are idiots like him so another CA will be available for the well deserved individual.

I have mad respect for all engines, but mostly KA-T after CA.

"When I get rid of my stock t25 on my sr, do you want it?"

WTF?! Just because your motor comes with a little bigger turbo doens't mean it's godly. No respect for the CA at all. I don't mind if someone picks a specific engine because of personal preferences but simply thinking another engine is crappy just pissed me off. That means you're just an idiot.

Quote from ragingpanda on nico. Yeah, we're all idiots.

comment by a moderator in the CA forum on nico.com If you have a problem with him, register and call him out if you dare. :D


Just wondering. If his CA is so big and bad why is its best 1/4 mile time a 13.9?

Also how exactly is he busting 350whp se-rs with his highest trap being in the mid 100s?

[auxiliary]

ownage.

[PSINXS]

when will he have his ca running? if its next season tell him i will be ready. sr going ddown for the rest of the year for a few upgrades. i am gonna hit my goal hp mark hopefully.

[FDslider]

Instead I got a bunch of Nissan retards. You guys just simply told me CA sucks for no reason whatsoever. Was my thread about "CA is better than SR?" No.

I just want all of us to fuckin get along and have respect for all engines...wtf.
Let's fucking get along. Ok, god damn it. Get ALONG. Mother fuckers, let's just get along. Hehehe, I know, I am a crackhead. JK!! Anyone know where I can get some RX7 cams for my KA?

Half Baked you listed ONE example of a stock turbo running 12.8 and most likely on drag wheels and slicks, if that's representative of ALL stock SR turbos heck why don't you try to run 25 psi on your stock turbo and try to hit a 12.
My man came on here to say hi and all he got as "CA sucks." I'm willing to bet if he came and said "hi to all SR owners" all'd he get would be "SR sucks." I think you people are just bored from the lack of real useful info on this forum, and have to pick fights to somehow spend your time.

btw Brandon I got a pair of crazy RX7 cams for your KA, power til 8500, guaranteed

[HalfBaked]

There are guys are sr20forum with fwd sr20dets running 12s on stock turbo.

14psi, some cams, and other bolt ons and you can run 12s on stock turbo sr. Without slicks.

You only have a pair? I need all 3. Baaaaaaaad. And possibly the pistons as well. hehehehehehe

[fallen180sx]

wow.. you kids are amazing. also, my STOCK ca ran a 14.5.. so that bs above.. its kind of not making any sense. and.. you're so original if you have an SR.. woohoo lets do what everyone else is doing.. sounds like a trend to me. i ran my stock ca vs. my cousins stock sr, and i barely beat him. we took our goodies to the track.. i ran a 14.5 and he ran a 14.8. He upped the boost to 11, ran a 13.9. WOW!!!!! anyways.. im just trying to say that you kids sound like a bunch of preppy bitches who are "if you dont have an sr, youre not cool" type. id love to see your faces if a ca kid beat the shit out of you. i got mad respect for all the ca owners who are pushing their ca and making it worth something. when you look at a ca, it kind of resembles the RB, and i dont see you kids hating on that motor. They call the CA the RB's little brother. so yeah, all the sr kids.. youre about as original as grape jelly.

[HalfBaked]

You're right my car is soo overplayed.

And yes, we do hate on RB20s. You just haven't seen those posts apparently.

BTW, I'd love to see a CA car beat the shit out of me, but unfortunately I doubt there are any CA 240sxs around here that will.

[fallen180sx]

and i doubt theres any sr's around here that could beat the shit outa me. quickest sr time here is a 12.8 i hit a 12.3 with only a chipped ecu, z32 maf, s14 t28, and 444cc's. not even at its full potential. runnin 14psi. could go more but why?

[HalfBaked]

You ran a 12.3 with a CA?

Post the slips and video or I'm calling BS.

[PSINXS]

quickest SR only running a 12.8? where? i know one member well into the 11s on his sr.

[fallen180sx]

yes a 12.3.. wow you surprised? s14 t28, chipped ecu, z32 maf, fullll exhaust all the way.. 3 angle valve job, 444cc's, hks metal headgasket, crower forged rods and forged pistons. built head. and everyone knows somebody who runs a better time.. so wow im not surprised you have a friend who ran an 11. wow. its common to see quick sr's because of the wonderful aftermarket.. but like dee said, thats because nissan was low on income. had to make a way for money, so you bitches need to give respect to the underdog engine. for one, if you see a quick ca.. imagine all the hell they had to go through to get parts and shit. its very hard for me to find aftermarket for the ca unless i get it direct from japland, or on ebay. im sorry you guys are hating on the ca because its not part of any bandwagon. so mad props to you trendy guys.

[sebastianHoff]

you guys went near a month without bringing this crap back up, good job. your arguing about "stock" motors and no one has mentioned the stock motors. stock the ca and ka have near the same power. stock the sr has more power than ca and ka. a stock rb20 is on par with a stock sr. the rb25 has more power than all the previously mentioned motors and godzilla is godzilla. now if you bought a ca to be different and not jump on the bandwagon, that was stupid. you should have bought an sr and modded it, then you wuold be suffeciently different and have more power. if you bought the ca cause thats what they had, thats what you could afford, and thats what you wanted then good for you. i want to build an rb30de. it would be cheaper and i would make more power if i just bought a rb26 and turned up the boost, but thats not any fun. you shouldnt be hatin on each other, we get enough of that from the outside. besides, the bread owns all.
