I must admit to a bias towards the old FJ. It might
be heavier than an SR etc but they are almost bullet proof. I have heard of guys
making 250+hp (naturally aspirated) with the standard crank and rods being
cleaned up (shot peened etc). These same engines were revving to over 9,000 rpm
reliably in circuit cars.

The CA18s are a 4cyl version of the
RB's. They were one of the better motors nissan made, but due the number
of moving parts they were more costly so they moved to the SR20. The
FJ's are twin cam 16 valve and were originally a racing/rally motor and I
think were the toughest motor Nissan ever made.

i have heard fjs have more
potential, but arent they either twincam 8 valve or singlecam 12 valve(not
sure which)
i know srs are
a "square" engine, meaning they have(from memory) 83mm bore and 83mm stroke
also even the naturally aspirated ones have a solid forged crank
these two points alone make them a
great engine, but every one whos owned one would know that
fjs are supposed to be pretty good too, i
just dont know as much about them
does anyone know whats supposed to be so great about ca18dets?
besides being a nissan

No - this one was a white
pearl finish, but did have momo wheels, with 35 series tyres. Lookout
potholes here we come!

I was on a
cruise in Sydney a couple of years ago with a turbo'd SSS pulsar, he
had the same problem with instant lane changing. He even snapped an
engine mount on the way into town! Once he got traction though, it was
like a bat out of hell.

Hi list,
I
was speaking to an engine builder last night (in
Sydney) who is doing some head work for me, the guy is a
guru with Nissan engines and love the FJ20, anyway, the
conversation eventually got onto the inevitable question - "How
much horsepower can we get..........."
The
answer of course was " Are you planning on winning Lotto?" Of
course I lied to him and told him I was! (Doesn't everyone plan
for that day?)
I am now
curios to find out what people are getting out of both the
Turbo's and naturally aspirated FJ's and even SR's. Might be a
good topic for discussion??
Anyone
out there got any stories (preferably true) that they could
share.
Mark.
