Okay, SR20DE in Japan... 160ps... @ 10:1 comp ratio, 95 octane gas, and convert that 160ps to hp... still not impressive...

And who's arguing T3/T25/T28? The discussion was about boost levels... Go ahead, strap a T28 to a KA, and don't be suprise that it will make more power than a SR with a T28. After all, it's a larger displacing engine. If it made less power, then I'd be worried about the engine...

If you want to argue, atleast understand the difference between a power level advertised in "ps" and not do the newbie thing of comparing it straight to "hp".

About the showroom thingy... well there is such a thing called "inspection", "leak down check", "compression check" etc... Bet you've never heard of those things before... <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Yes, I've bought used cars before. Lots of fun... Had fun with a '84 Maxima. Even had to rebuild the distibutor and made it more reliable...

About the tires... Well, that was a reply to another fool who said he can break loose his wheels... Geez, break loose a wheel... that means he needs to tighten down the lug nuts or learn english... if he is trying to say that his car can break loose the tires (lost of traction)... Geez, break a wheel loose, good one... So my real suggestion to him was for him to get better tires. Being able to break traction with a set of tires doesn't really mean massive power. The example I gave was of a geo Metro. I could get one to break traction and spin the tires. Does that make the Geo Metro really powerful? No, it just means the tires can't get enough traction... (I'm poking fun at his flawed logic in his argument if you are having problems following along...)

Geez, your used CA18 with 77k... How much of that 77k is real? How about the fact you bought a junk yard engine vs a running car? Again, flawed logic...

As for the KA/SR camp... geez, engrish, do you speak it?

Why are you so proud of an engine that was cast aside by both the SR and KA? CA is old news...

...atleast one person on this thread knows my story... lol...
