Technical Question about the CA series

ok i was wondering if any one had information i can't find on the difference between a CA20DE and a CA18DE.

what im mainly interested in is the block type, what the bottom and the head are made of.

and any other info that diferentiates the two.

thanks for all the help and info!

There's no CA20DE! There's a CA20E, CA20D and a CA18ET mostly found in the 80's stanzas and 200sx cars. The CA20 has a weak bottom end for performance! The CA20E uses 8 spark plugs and wire. The CA18DE is a better engine.

Just for my edification, what does the E stand for? D is DOHC, T is turbo, S is carbureted, I is injected (those are all SFAIK), but E I don't have any idea about.

I think the "E" for MultiPort Fuel injection. "I" is alo fuel injected but throttle body and single injector. Ie., VG30i, GA16i, E16i (TBI)and VG30E, GA16DE both MFI.

Right, I got that part from CrazyMart's post. Now I'm just wondering what was used on the CA20D since it doesn't have a fuel system designation in the name.
