Wondering wud dis work???

Wud a CA18DET head fit a SR20DE non turbo bottom end!!

If so wud it work alrite??? Nissan doctor im lukin in ur direction ha!!!

[benhachi]

doubt it dude!

plus ya'd wanna be lowering the compression of the non turbo block!

[nissan_doctor]

Before you even get to compression issues, The CA and SR are two completly different engine designes. They wouldn't match at all.


If you have an sr20de and want more power then get an sr16ve(pulsar VZR) head and fit it with VZR N1 cams/springs etc(althought there is a little more to it then that) and you would be pushing over 200hp.

Or just fit an sr20det.....or and rb26......or a 1jz.....or an ls1 V8:D All have been done.

sound nice1!!

u c i hav 2 sr20de engines nd a ca18det wit a fucked bottom end!! jst wonderin cud i do anytin wit em!!

If i got a sr20det head nd fitted it on2 da sr20de bottom end wat else wud i hav 2 do 2 make it work???

Off topic, but have ya any CA gearboxes your not using?!

[mick]

i would assume the pistons are different, dont know much aboot dirty datsuns though. just do the bottom end on the ca.....

There would be no noticeable advantage in fitting a det head to a de as they are almost identical.

If its just big ends gone in the ca its easily repaired but if its any worse(crank end float is common wear on a ca) then it prob wouldn't be economical.

but i mean da turbo nd all, wud da DE bottom end wit stand da turbo ye???

[nissan_doctor]

The pistons are different(higher compression) in a de compared to a det so you could not run the same boost as a det bottom end.

Also its not just a case of boltding the turbo to the manifold, You need to tap the de block for oil feed and return as well as coolant return(although non vvt engines don't return to the block).

Basically it has come up before...it is vastly easier and cheaper to just get an sr20det.
