if you couldnt find that, then you dont deserve to get a CA engine. type in CA18det in any search engine and that info will be there.

Its pretty dismal.
Cheap upgrade is a T25G from a stock SR. Better upgrade is a BB T28 from an S15 but you need to change the oil lines to fit it.
Mate of mine had about 230rwhp from a CA18DET with T28 BB, 2 stage bleed valve and a Mines ECU
CA18 ECUs are real easy (cheap) to remap as well.

yea i think i actually deserved those flames lol.....about an hour or so later i did another search and more pages came up....i think i only put in CA18 the first time....but still then i only got the HP so thanks for the torque and stuff!

damn searches i hate that thing...thanks again

are there any good websites to find performance parts for the ca18 b/c thats what im getting in my 89.

nx2000 · Sep 17th, 2003, 07:03 PM

Yes...search for them. There is plenty out there. If I can find parts for my RB20, I am sure you can find CA18 parts

www.norrisdesigns.com has anything you could want and more.

Careful going past 300 hp. I hear rumors of head gasket and sealing problems beyond that figure, but I remember Trust's 180SX in SCC and had to be making more than 300. Also, check the compression and leakdown, cause these can be old high mileage engines, and you want to make sure yours is healthy.

the head gasket problem can be fixed easily with one from HKS.

ok this is probably a stupid question but i dunno much about the 200sx so on the norris site is the 200sx s13 the same as a 240? like for body parts and all that...

200sx is only in europe. the body styling is the same has s13/s14 240sx in usa but it has a sr20de(t) motor hence the name 200sx
