7FOUR7 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 G'day, I can pick up a ca18et single cam out of an s12 gazelle for around 300bux with turbo, dump, inlet, injectors and loom. Wondering what peoples thoughts are on dropping it into a keto?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXY-642 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Would be up to you man. The plus side would be a ca18det and I think sr20det would bolt straight in when you pull the ca8et out. I picked up my sr20de complete with loom ecu. Gearbox. Inlet and exhaust manifolds. The lot. $300. Add the $280 postage cost me so $580 delivered to my door. Matt Edited September 7, 2010 by wpn36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW42 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I don't think it would be worth the money when you can get a ca18det for around the same price if you wait long enough you'll find the right one, and what would be the benefits of a single cam motor compared to the dohc when all i can see is the dohc winning everytime in a standard turbo motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7FOUR7 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) dude show me where I can find a ca18det for 300 bux, I'll buy 3 and sell 2 of them for 1k each... I'm only looking to backyard a ke70 for a bit of play fun so 200rwhp would be all I want.. later on if I feel the need for more power I can always go the twin cam..

7FOUR7 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 matt, where did you find your sr so cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW42 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I got my turbo ca for 150 bucks with almost everything there only missing a turbo and harness which i already had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXY-642 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Found it on eBay believe it or not. Spotted it and clicked buy it now straight away before someone else saw it. If you search around you can pick up sr20 engine with a blown headgasket for around $150 on forums. Think I saw one on Silvia forums for $150 pickup blown headgasket. No gearbox or wiring or anything though just the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH NOES! my mates got two up here he can't get rid of. *EDIT: Also, don't bother with a ca18et, they are notoriously shit engines. just save up an extra 600-700 bucks and get an off da hook det.

Ella Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 i think this sincle cam CA18et your looking at is in fact a Z18ET or something similar. no such thing as a single cam CA18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7FOUR7 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Google it dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainWarriorDregs Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 there's alot of speculation there ella, i wouldn't believe it unless i'd seen one with my own eyes, but yes they do exist and they are coded as a ca18et.

philbey Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) i think this sincle cam CA18et your looking at is in fact a Z18ET or something similar. no such thing as a single cam CA18. do my eyes deceive me? Is that Jesus, the messiah returning to earth momentarily to prophesise our doom. Has this amateur photographer inadvertently captured a picture of him ? oh look he's hiding behind a ca18et.
