What is with the massive influx of Nissan engine questions in here?

because theyre cheap and already rwd

There are bellhousings available to bolt up supra and celica boxes to nissan motors, so you don't have to go and get one made. I can't remember who makes them though????? I think the changing gears in the backseat thing mostly applys to the ke2x models. Cos my stick is in the perfect spot. The toyota boxes are sooo much better though!

Dellow SUCK

the wang... :)

 

No apparently every dellow housing ive heard of has never lined up properly and then youve got your throwout bearing/fork to match!

i know it was a coupla pages back but

 

i COMPLETELY agree with mulblezzzz

 

every ca18 i know of has spun bearings or blown headgaskets

 

ca18 FTL :dance: :abuse:

 

people are like bang for buck, they are cheap, thats because they are junk unless they have been built

 

seriously they are shit

 

better in design than the sr and they seem to rev better

 

f@$k my 4ac turbo held together better than most ca's

 

4agze ftw!

hey guys, dellow got back to me, and no dellow don't do ca18 to anything other than standard (s13/rb20), but the nice folks sent me a catalogue, a sticker and a nice hand written note

 

AJPS:

seriously they are shit

 

is this a valid statement? if so how are ca18s seriously shit??, it is not unknown for ca18s to spin bearings, but how does rebuilding an engine solve this? spinning bearings is an oil flow issue. A BHG is far from common in these engines(more of a poo motor problem :dance:), i have known of ALOT of ca18's which haven't spun a bearing, and alot more that havent blown head gaskets.

 

Using some generalisations, a freind of mine has a 4ac in a hatchi, he blew a hg, does this make his engine crap? according to you yes, he is the only guy i know with a 4ac, therefore it is crap

 

doesnt make sense does it

yes it makes sense.

 

CA's are pure shit. End of argument :dance:

The spinning of bottomend bearings is usually due to detonation, which says nothing about the ca18, except there are more tossas out there who own ca18s that don't get them tuned, or overboost them.

Agree with above post any motor is shit with a bad tune or as i posted before half the ca's that everyone refers to are up to 15 years old and have had ten or so pound shoved up there arse for ages. Or may just be a genarally worn motor. Ca's are almost identicle to a Rb in design. Both are i Top motor if you ask me.

 

Like most motors- A fresh Ca thats tuned right, Treated with some respect. Driven to match the build of the motor. They will keep going and going.

 

Seen many a sr, rb, k series motors, v8's etc.. with spun bearings and blown heradgasket are they all shit too????

 

Crap arguement matey!

thank you!! somone who doesnt hang shit on a motor just cos they think its crap and have no real proof to back it up

 

*edit* bloody spelling

Edited July 10, 200620 yr by skiddz

ive always found dellow to be good.

 

i have never heard of bearings spinning from anything other than oil starvation

i mean sure, the 3SGTE totally shits all over the SR20DET, but it's also like double the price for a decent engine. datsun actually make some pretty cool stuff, just a pity about the gay cars they put them in :lock_folder:

 

 

HAHAHA. 3SGTE better than SR20DET. fair don't reckon.

SR20DET has a lot more aftermarket goodies too.

 

And then some!! :P

you can get just as much parts for a ca and they are lighter then a SR. Agruement not vaild! :D :)
