Yeah, if you get a CA from the EU they came in 200sx’s up to 1993. Last year in Japan was 90 for the Silvia so they’d be 16-17 year old motors. Not unlike our SOHC’s and OBDI DOHC’s…

Face it, if your going to run an OEM motor from the S13 chassis, the motors will be old. (Newest being 1998 SR20’s)

I’ve heard the cost to rebuild a CA18DET is cheaper then a SR20DET. Anyone care to clarify?
