the ca18 is a great motor. i think its head design is a bit better then the sr20, with less losses and able to rev higher. it was made to replace the fj20det that was in early skylines. they stopped making the ca because it cost was greater then the new sr20.

people try to write off the ca as old junk but it is similar to and rb and is very stout except the headgasket seems to give out in high hp ca's. at least i can rev the piss out of it and i dont need any gay rocker arm stoppers. i just wish there was a more accessable aftermarket for it here in america.
