Ca or Sr

I have been lookin around at yokes just glancing the usual shite , and notice some ca'd yokes and n/a silvias are goin cheap ..
I figured if got cheap enough could be drifted track days and maybe the odd wet night , i thaught to myself would a na sr be anygood .. Like there bound to have as much power as a na 2.0 bmw youd buy for similar money??? Or would i be better buying a ca ?? So im looking for advice on both not just which evers better ! What there loike to go to modify to run and to drive etc etc
thanks

I'm about to start a S13 build that was a sr'd 180sx and i'm going with a ca as i'v known them for years and think their a great engine- originally i was going to put a sr20de into it but have decided to return back to the ca , only one factor has influenced my choice - budget.
Thats the main thing to look at in any nissan

If you want something for a bit of streeto/odd bit of track go for the sr20de in a s13 , a grand on a s13 with a ca is not enough imo

ca are just not that relyable realy. had a few of them. mad for bottom ends and turbos. then on the other hand if u threw a set of acl race bearings and baffled sump and a stronger turbo there a grand yoke. u would hear of lads getting big power and been reliable but then they spends 1000s getting that!
the sr is nearly always going to start and drive without to much trouble. no timing belts to be changing, better sump set up. weld the diff and keep her full of oil and away u go lad!;)

very old discussion ca or sr
ca can be good engines if you will look after them and of course they are older than sr. sr(turbo) have bigger selection of aftermarket parts. but between sr non turbo or ca i would go for ca defo

having experience with a ca myself, i would definitely say a ca is the way forward. plenty of poke out of them and well able to be very reliable with a few simple mods. They are a great engine and well capable of 300bhp with minor mods.

SR all the way. A far far superior engine to a CA

just a note for those who can't read the thread....

he's comparing a N/A SR to a turbo CA

stop fucking joking a CA is far better than a N/A SR

Every body is entitled to their opinion mate. a CA will have more power than the na sr but the sr will be rock reliable for the track. I would advise him to go for the sr.
