Question CA18 or SR20?

I found a CA18DET online for alot cheaper than the SR20 I wanted. I know there is about a difference of about 75hp between the two.

I main question is should I save up for the SR20DET? Another question, with gas going sky high, would the CA18DET be a better choice for gas milage, but still have that, wonderful turbo.

(Couldn't I build the CA18 up later? Bigger turbo, intercooler ect....)

Thanks for the advice & help guys.

Sorry I haven't been on the boards, as my dag nab KA24 turbo blew like a fire cracker.

(That's why I'm going CA or SR!)

ca is harder to find parts for...you can build them..but, why?

CA's are good motor's it just takes more money then it would with the SR

After months of researching the sr20 is the better way to go even if you have small hp goals now you will want more after you get boosted for a while so the sr will be able to comfort you in your time of need (hp that is ) .
