Ah man, having a CA18 is the worst decision of your life.

agreed. sr is a much easier build, having such a large
aftermarket support. less time finding parts more time drifting.

yea i just need to find a donor chassis for cheap that has all
the essentials. and the Ca is gonna be built from the start I'm
not skimping on any corners. I chose the Ca because everyone has
a SR sorry but i like diversity. plus when built right the Ca
has much more potential and sounds better.

meh i wouldn't bother building it. Built motors are the worst
when it comes to reliability.
if I were you I would run stock ca, and make your car super
light (it's cheaper). Either way though you'll have fun!

Yeah.... I don't see how this as diversity when these motors
were OEM to this chassis at one point in time. Shit, these days
it seems like the SR is diverse to the growing V8 crowd. I would
like to think diversity means a Ford Ecoboost or something cool.
I've owned a few CA motors. I've poured thousands of gallons of
blood, sweat, and tears into maintaining one just to drive on
the street. The one advantage a CA has over a SR is the iron
block, allowing for gobs more amount of boost. That's it,
everything else about this motor is poorly designed and nearly
three decades old.
I don't mean to sound like a hater. Good for you if you can keep
it running and do amazing things with it once in a while, but I
bet you'll hate every second of your life. It's not too late to
not go down that road.

^^ I have open ears and am not stubborn I hear what you are
saying and that one comment is the main factor in my choice I
wanted a motor that came factory turbo. and fit directly to the
S-chassis which gave me two option the SR and CA. I choose the
CA because It was way cheaper I had it shipped to my door from
Pennsylvania with trans, wiring harness, ecu, ignitor, MAF,
turbo and compression tested with 150 across all cylinders. for
1200 that was my selling point over a SR there to expensive plus
if built right I have heard both ends that they never last or
they run forever so I think it just depends on how its built and
maintained no offense.
