i think the reason most people go ca18det is because of its cheaper then building a 4agte, or building it properly atleast.
i think you should keep it 4agte, there isnt many out there
Just curious on what everyone thinks is a better setup. I've currently got the 4agte setup in my car but am unsure if I should keep the car toyota or go outside the boundaries and go nissan. Currently, the 4agte in my sprinter should be good for at least 200rwhp on mild to moderate boost. As I like the idea of keeping the car all original and toyota, the nissan motors have more aftermarket support and currently seem more appealing. The power figure that I am chasing is around the 240-260rwhp mark. I know the nissan motors can do this fairly simple and easy with stock internals, however the toyota motor would need slightly more work to get to the power mark that I want.
Do I sell my 4agte setup and start a fresh?, do I go outside the box and get a nissan motor and turn the car into short wheel base s13?
As I am not yet 100% sure on keeping the car after the car comes out of the panel shop, I would be very interested in selling it. Just curious on what would be the better setup to sell the car with a nissan or a toyota motor?
As the 4agte setup would not cost anything to keep in the car, and by myself selling the complete setup it will be funding the nissan engine.

ca18det is cheap power with a decent box
you cant build a decent 4agte with a strong box for the same price
If your gonna sell it, just keep the current engine setup. If i went to the effort of putting in a Nissan engine, i'd want to admire the effort taken.
i was wondering if you guys could help. i've been wanting to do a 4AGZE swap when i get the money, i had always just written off the ca18det idea as i thought it would cost too much! if anyone has done it (especially in SA) could you give me a quick price quote and who you used and what else you upgraded such as brakes, diff etc.
up here in qld it usually costs around the $5k mark to get a CA18det installed into a sprinter. My install is costing closer to $7k but I am also including an lsd and suspension as well. Ring around a couple of workshops that specialise in silvias/nissan engines and talk to them.
There was a bit of discussion about the cost of putting in a c18det into a AE86 in this thread.
Look in the last few pages.

my mate has a ugly rb25 sprinter in QLD that runs a 10.89@132mph 1.9060fts Thats just abit too much over kill, however he is chasing more power which should put him in the 500rwhp mark, he will be running at the jamboree with a new paint job body work and so fourth, thinking 9's may be on the cards.
He agrees with the nissan idea, however he is abit of a Git when desecrating cars as he mixes and matches motors to most cars 2jz 180sx with a GT51R so fourth, s14a VH45DETT twin GT35/40's, I have photos off all these cars if anyone is interested in having a look. Or they can wait to see these cars run at the Jamboree.
I would go a SR20DET being as they are more popular and there is so many tuning/aftermarket parts out there for them.
Cheers
