oh please no! wayne, have you not seen the wars you will start with a question or comment like that? haha. everytime someone asks that question to get a simple opinion, it just explodes. CAs kick a$$ for bang/buck. (not to mention you can make a super high-revving motor, and beat the crap out of it without worrying about breaking stuff all the time) I think they are one of the best deals going for a swap, but I have RBs and I love them and really respect the potential they have. Its not a cut and dry answer, it really depends on alot of things to find the best choice for you.

Thats really your choice. I think that its nice to go Ca because if you do any work on it a 4 is cheaper than a six. Thats the main reason I want a Ca for now. Most Jdm motors are great in thier own way though.

200sx had a CA18DE? I thought it was a GA16DE or something... (lower model, and the upper was an SR20DE, of course)

Ca's are awesome little motors, the thing is... only SS autochrome makes stuff for it on ebay, and Ss is no good in my book, none of thier stuff fits.

anybody use any of SS's stuff for an RB? I was thinking of recommending and using them on customers cars, but I havent been able to get any feedback on that stuff. And I am sure as hell NOT gonna recommend parts I dont have experience with..... that is just not cool.

you should get a name brand if you are lookin for it to perform that well. cause one of the most important things about the cheaper stuff, above heat transfer and longevity, is that its cheap! ya dig?
