tim,
theres definately a lot of competition between these 2 motors but i was
wondering if u have ever considered the SR20?
a friend of mine has a nissan gazelle and he has a CA18T and that does 0-100
in just under 5secs and previously he had a car with a SR20 and said the SR
would kill it.
Also a great thing about the FJ is because its old parts are really easy to
get incase something goes wrong cos theyve been around for longer.
the FJ also has more power non turboed than the CA so if ur looking for
power the FJ is the way i would go.
well i hope ive helped u out a bit and hope u have good luck in your search.
Ryan
