Wah... "perhaps jpj side only"... thats not ONLY man... thats everything! =Þ Hahaha.... if can register, of course its better to go for an SR20DET lah... who wouldn't want right? =Þ
n_chun21,
I don't think there's such a thing as SR18. Again, i'm not too familiar with Nissans, but from what I heard, SR20DET in its stock conditions, not very strong only... 300hp on engine maybe la (assuming its the spec-R and at really high boosts), but if on wheels, its going to take more than an emanage to achieve.
SR20 also got loads of different versions... of course, the latter, the more powerful lah.... but an SR20 from an S15... ain't cheap man the halfcut.
CA18 does fine la... old also, there's nothing a full overhaul won't solve. Aftermarket parts also can get... what more can u ask for right? =Þ People who play mitsu, plonk in GSR also can't get any branded aftermarket parts from jun, tomei, hks...... etc etc. EVerything is mostly either universal gadgets (safc, emanage, etc etc) or custom made (regrinded cams, custom banana manifold, etc etc). If renown brands produce parts for the CA18DET... says something already lah... Means there is potential in the engine.
