Crappy plasticy huh? Well take off the spark plug cover, polish the rocker cover
and well, look at that - it looks like 2/3 of a Japanese 1000hp RB26DETT!! except
for the small turbo..
If ya ask me, you can't beat the CA for $/power/value. The FJ20s, a top engine,
but getting a bit old now and hard to find good low K examples. The SR20 has
been recognised as an excellent engine so now they are in high demand so every
dude can then check one in his escort, gemini, corolla, etc. As a result they
are more expensive!
The CA18 is in the middle. People think it's plastic and shit but it ain't.
They have less power than both (~130kW) but still have potential. They have
more technology than an FJ20 and less age. I've been in a couple of CA18det
powered cars and they have power. Sure, they lack the low rpm torque but they
still have a turbo so they honk up the rev scale! If you want a more detailed/specific
rundown of the CA18det I can do that too :)
Andrew, do you think a CA18DET could be stroked with a CA20 crank and then bored
a little aswell? ~2.1l would be nice!
