    i have seen many hatchis with CA18's in them but none with SR20's in them, is there a reason for this...weight? size? SR20's are a much better engine than CA18's so why hasnt asnyone done the conversion?

    just because it comes with stronger internals factory and a better turbo doesnt make it a better engine

    sr20s are crap.
    (lets start this argument again!!) like in every other post that anyone brings up sr or ca, there is always a fight on wich one is better. who cares wich one is better!!!!!




    my opinion is that sr20 is more expansive conversion. i have a ca. if i wanted to spend as much on converting to sr i would not have put a nissan engine in to start with.
    ca18det is a very cheap reliable conversion.

    well i wasnt looking to start any arguments and im not even considering doing the conversion, i just asked the wuestion out of curiosity, i just thought SR20s were a little more reliable and could make better power than CA18's

    just goes to show you shouldnt believe everything you're told. SR20s are crap truck engines that sound like bcc buses, and their valvetrains suck.

    Here we go again!!
    find something constructive to do.
    i have had a 200sx sr20det, and my ae86 is ca18det.
    both have good points both have bad points, an argument can go on for years on wich one is better!
    i prefer the ca coz it is a bit cheaper. and parts are redily available.

    and i personally think there are more sr20 hachis then ca18

    definately more srs than ca now i was out at the track the other day and there were 3 other sr sprinters than mine, the only reason i would choose a sr over a ca is the torque, it more noticable in a light car like a sprinter. ca is definately the cheeper option
