I have no idea why you would swap a BP out and put in a CA18 of all things?? The aftermarket for the BP is huge compared to the CA. Now the SR would be capable of more power but you'd be investing far more money into it/putting it in than just boosting the BP motor, not to mention you can just swap in the turbo engine from the mazdaspeed miatas if you want a motor that has boost from the get go, and you're set. I know this is a nissan site and all but jeez seeing the SR thrown into every car out there when most don't need an engine swap is just dumb, the bp is a very capable engine in itself.
