yes of a US pulsar is fine.

 

these bearings and rods we're talkin bout are the piston rod's and bearings correct?

 

you can check out mine on my cardomain site. www.cardomain.com/id/weldinghank they are on the 2nd page.

and would this be a good upgrade for a turbo http://www.turboneticsinc.com/t3-4.html ? if not post some suggestions

 

Yes and Yes.

 

cool.

 

u could just upgrade to a t28 ball bearing turbo, or a t28/t3 hybrid, going with a t3/t04 you will have to get a new turbo manifold, which are like 400-600 for a decent one

 

If your goals is 350 HP, go with Sr, u can get there faster and cheaper with SR. the CA will only make 280 hp with T28, and not safe for the internal after that. I own CA18det and I love my engine. but my goals is for only 250 Rwhp. so....do your research...and see what do u want..if u really need that 350 hp..but hard to get parts go with SR, and if u thing 280 is ok for everyday driving and u can just go to Advance auto part or Nissan dealer to get parts..then Ca is for you..just my.02 C

How high was boost on the T28 to make 280hp? I have been researching both motors at different forums and found that the CA18DET can hold most boost than an SR20, because it is an iron block instead of Aluminum. Also CA18DET has much better head design compared to the SR20. Then again the SR20DET has .2 Liters more displacement

I am not dissing on the SR20DET its just some info I found

all true too

 

my goal for the 350 hp is way away.. i'd probably be running around 220 or so for a long while. i will make sure all internals are upgraded or replaced before moving on from there, i know that. right now funds are low so ca is for me...i'd definataly go sr if i had the money, but thats the problem

 

Past 300 or above would see you needing a stronger head gasket for sure. So what psi would you be running on a t28 to get 280whp? In the world of 2g dsm's t28 upgrades are good for aroud 350 whp, so how much hp can a sr get out of a t28?

 

Sr's have notoriously crappy paper head gaskets. That would be the first thing to swap regardless of mods. Sr's have aluminum blocks, but they're overbuilt, like the KA. The sr's weakness is not the block, its the head gasket and the head's flow. I always believed that if you start out with more power, it will be easier for the motor to withstand power upgrades. I would choose the sr simply because it's displacement is greater (not that much, but it's there) than the ca. It takes well to mods and for where you want to be, its the way to go. The ca is a great powerplant! (there, now its unbiased lol)

 

hehe..unless i hit the lottery or something im gettin a CA i plan on gettin the swap late summer/early fall this year. which at that time i will only have enough money for a CA. plus the whole install for the CA plus purchasing of parts and all is about the same of installing a stock sr20 motor with no upgrades.

eh not really i just looked on ebay for one and they are like $175-400 ish

 

both the CA and SR have crappy stock headgaskets. either engine will need a head gasket after 300HP or so.

good luck with those, you pay what you get for man, just remember that, those are the ssautochrome, some guys run them and dont have probs, but alot of them crack, if you do buy one i def recogmend getting it braced and getting the welds redone, or just spending a little more and getting a better one, and the yes the stock head gasket should be replaced in either motor, think about how old they are, and coming from boosted cars....the benefit to the ca is you can pick up a hg at autozone, get some arp head studs and itll be good up to liek 280hp

 

the bottom mount SSautochrome manifolds have braces welded in already.

 

ca will make around 280 hp on T28 @ around 15-18 psi according to support mods.
and anything over 300hp ( to the crank) on either CA or SR a new headgasket is REQUIRED!! if u want the engine to survive. talk to the guys on the CA forums...they can tell u a lot more. C

 

HEY SR20SLEEPER!!, your signature of that two tone S13 is my car!! You got that picture off of tougefactory's front page!! I buy my stuff from touge and he put my car on his front page, you fu*#in stole it! :crazyrant

 

um i know you sent me a pm earlier but...is it stated anywhere that i said its mine? no.. also the engine i would be getting has just the ecu, i kno i need a maf and harness, what else do i need.. and weldinghank you said the s14 kit fits perfect like direct bolt on or does it need minor modifications?

 

if he doesnt want his car in your sig i suggest you respect him and take it out. i know the car in my sig isnt mine, if GP sports for some reason said they dont want it there i would definatly take it out.

 

i shouldnt have the deleted the pm but hes ent me something similar to what he said and at the end said j/k but this was before he posted here. and how do i even know its his?
