And who's arguing T3/T25/T28? The discussion was about boost levels... Go ahead, strap a T28 to a KA, and don't be suprise that it will make more power than a SR with a T28. After all, it's a larger displacing engine. If it made less power, then I'd be worried about the engine...
If you want to argue, atleast understand the difference between a power level advertised in "ps" and not do the newbie thing of comparing it straight to "hp".
About the showroom thingy... well there is such a thing called "inspection", "leak down check", "compression check" etc... Bet you've never heard of those things before... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Yes, I've bought used cars before. Lots of fun... Had fun with a '84 Maxima. Even had to rebuild the distibutor and made it more reliable...
About the tires... Well, that was a reply to another fool who said he can break loose his wheels... Geez, break loose a wheel... that means he needs to tighten down the lug nuts or learn english... if he is trying to say that his car can break loose the tires (lost of traction)... Geez, break a wheel loose, good one... So my real suggestion to him was for him to get better tires. Being able to break traction with a set of tires doesn't really mean massive power. The example I gave was of a geo Metro. I could get one to break traction and spin the tires. Does that make the Geo Metro really powerful? No, it just means the tires can't get enough traction... (I'm poking fun at his flawed logic in his argument if you are having problems following along...)
Geez, your used CA18 with 77k... How much of that 77k is real? How about the fact you bought a junk yard engine vs a running car? Again, flawed logic...
As for the KA/SR camp... geez, engrish, do you speak it?
Why are you so proud of an engine that was cast aside by both the SR and KA? CA is old news...
...atleast one person on this thread knows my story... lol...</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
The site I got 160 HP said HP not PS. Even if it was PS it would drop it what, a whole 2-3 HP? (i'm not gonna bother looking up the conversion) Why argue about T25/T28? Cause that would obviously effect the overall HP at any given boost level. And how much of my CA's 77K of milage is real? Well seeing as it came STOCK over here in england I would assume that they were real mile's, it was'nt a junk yard engine (though after replacing it and revealing alot of things it might be <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'>  
Which brings me back to the fact that in a used car you don't know what your getting. As for me being proud of my engine, what are you talking about? I'm proud of my car for what it is, but you rarely if ever (besides when people ask me about it) see me going on and on over the ca18 like the ka-t and sr folks. It's a good engine but I don't try to push people into it like you guy's. hell I take it from the sound of your post's that I don't like the KA, if I ever bought a 240sx I most likely would keep it. Unfortunatly I'm not even a big fan of 4 cylinder's period, so I don't care which one everyone "feels" is better. I just wanted a cheap quick turbo Nissan while I spend my 2 years over here in England. I never knew that by me buying this car I should be ashamed and get in arguements with people whom I thought shared common interest's (not a bunch of in fighting) As for the "ca gang" or whatever you called the groups, I feel kinda lonely in my gang seeing that I'm the only one in it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
