Yeah thats me. Don't worry, I'm thinking that a 240sx with a swap will be in the future though.

Actually like 2 years ago there was an article about a guy in Miami with one in Super Street I believe. I have the article back in Florida, when I go home next month I'll try to remember to look for it and scan it.

[Zemus]

wow, sweet, ill be sure to look out for that, i would love to see that ARTICLE, ive been looking for around 6 months, but yea, THANKS

[transient]

I'd really like to see that article too. I'm getting so sick of the SR. It's a good engine, but damn is it overhyped. The CA is much better imo, but to each their own I guess. I love the fact that you can make a CA that can rev to 8 or 9000 just by doing a little work on the valvetrain. Not that i'd ever really need to, but it's pretty cool to say you've got an engine that will rev that high (and mean it).

I have seriously, SERIOUSLY been considering the CA18DET swap, from what I've read of it it sounds like a really amazing engine. The sole factor against my picking it up is the lack of after-market support and even OEM support for the things that will inevitably break/need replacement.
If I were staying here (in Hong Kong) where there is relatively good support for the CA18DET (or so I've seen/heard in catalogs), then I would consider it -- in fact it's the stock engine in the '90 and earlier models... so of course there's support... but seriously. If there were a little more support for it out in the states, I'd genuinely give it a good, good look.

That article was about my ex room mate. He had a teal green 89 S13 with a ca 18 it was actually pretty damn fast. He used ICI a RI in New York to import it. He actually screwd every one else who was going to import their cars by revealing the RI and there wrong doings. So now everyone behind him is screwd except me I have other means that I will not reveal. Only thing when I get my S15 I will only be able to drive it under the conditions listed in the provisions of the law. My S14 onthe other hand once back it will be my daily D. I have no intentions of letting anyone know my plans until I get them beck and get my $10,000 bond back from customs. I will try to stay away from the mags. $10,000 is a lot of money to lose.

[adey]

Wow... is this silviasichigo going to be RHD? and where (state) will it be?

[nrcooled]

you are bringing an s15 state side? &nbsp;I can't wait to see one! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[silviasichigo]

Well I am going register them in Texas &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':rolleyes:'> The laws baby! I will more than likely have them in SoCal area. The 15 you will probably only see on a trailer for a while until I can figure something out. The 14 though will definatley be my daily D. I think after I have gotten them both in and gotten my $20,000 back ($10,000 for each) I will begin to play with my options to get the 15 a Daily D. This is very expensive but you only live once right. Bakari that is what NFCU is for. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'> Yes I have a Japanese friend who is helping me get them to the U.S.. So it is totally legal and I will give no more details.

man, i cant wait for it, hopfully they have them in soon, cuz i cant wait to much longer, i want it so much, i want to take out the SR boys and ppl who think SR is the best engine, i agree with you guys that the SRs are overrated, im sure their great but come on...

[shinigami24]

i'm also thinking of getting the ca18det the only thing that is holding me back in the lack of aftermarket &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

[Zemus]

whats the highest WHP CA18DET that you have heard of??

I would really like to know

[silviasichigo]

I have a article on one with 500ps ~(497hp) It boost1.9Kg/cm 2 They stroked it up to 1.9L It has a T67 turbine, HKS evc, Type c waste gate (HKS) trust boost controller, (4) 700cc injectors, (4) 400cc injectors, Apex Power FC, and he runs 10"582 in the 1/4 mile It is in a 180sx by the way.

I just found another one that is 600ps ~(597hp) It is a Silvia.
CA18DET stroked up to 1995cc (2.0L) &nbsp;T88-34D 18cm Turbine, Boosting 2.0Kg/cm2, cams 288in/296Ex, Custom made intake manifold, 45mm exhaust manifold, 90mm exhaust, power band is between 5500~9500rpm, 1mm head gasket, the main injector is 1000cc, three bosch fuel pumps, cold ass NGK plugs (10 heat index), HKS FCon-V ECU, OS triple plate clutch,

so it is 600ps at 2.0kg/cm2 and runs a 11"144 in the 1/4

WOW, thanks alot, what mags you getting these out of, 10sec quarter mile is amazing, i might want to back order these

[silviasichigo]

Well it is a Japanese Mag called Auto Parts Magazine or AP for short. Every volume has different articles on Japan drag. The fastest Silvia/180 was and S14 that ran 10"119 tuned by "Garage SPL" it was a 770ps~ (710hp) Black top that bitch was bad ass.

[Zemus]

i take it that its in Jap right, also was the 180sx that had the CA in it with 497HP gutted or did it still have all its stock interior?

[silviasichigo]

It was gutted. I can scan some pics but they would be 2mb bitmaps and tha takes forever to load on to webshots through dial up.

Sure! I will have to scan them now so give me a few to make them look good. Go to Yahoo messenger.

i wanted the ca18, now... i'm moneyless

[AZN GTR]

I have a Mine's ECU for the ca18det for sell, here is the link:

[89K&#39;ssilvia]

I have a CA18DET in my 89. &nbsp;It's seriously kicks ass. &nbsp;I got it in lew of the SR because I got a deal on a two for one from my supplier in Japan. &nbsp;I do own a shop, so that helps. &nbsp;I only did small upgrades like custom front mount IC, Greddy BOV, HKS EVC, Blitz DC gauges, and an HKS GT2835 Turbo. &nbsp;It's baseline is 170 -175 crank hp, I am putting down 255 WHP at 10 pounds. &nbsp;With a fuel pump and 440's or 500's inj. &nbsp;I should be over 300 WHP whick is all I wanted for my street car. &nbsp;There is a serious lack of after market parts, but I get most of them from austraila where the motor is still supported. &nbsp;Hope this helps.

got cha, what i have noticed is that http://www.takakaira.com/ has MASSIVE aftermarket for the CA, which is kewl, i should get my engine in maybe a month or more, i have to wait for the engine to come in, if it doesnt come in on the next shipment, i have to wait

[niseslut]

Oni, how much was your CA and where did you get it? &nbsp;is it just the motor or a full engine with gearbox ecu and all? &nbsp;front clip?

[ca18guy]

WOW 2 pages &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> &nbsp;Brings tears to my eyes.

[adey]

Since we're on the CA18DET topic... anyone care to post photos of your CA18ET/CA18DET? I've only seen a very few before and never in person... it would be helpful just for... I don't know, visualising's sake.
thanks.
