Im thinking about putting the ca in my car.  I just wanted to know how much faster it is than stock.

*LanceS13* · 10-15-2001, 03:54 PM

I think his is stock...seems like I saw a pic of it and it was right hand drive.  
I wouldn't think it would a whole lot faster than a KA powered 240 b/c it only has like 5-10 more hp.  However, it has tons more potential.

I think the CA motor puts out between 180 and 200 hp.  That's the CA18DET I believe.  

If you guys want to see an awesome CA check out my My buddy Jason, of the UK.

Very slick!

according to your friends site the stock ca18det goes 0-60 in 6.4, quite an improvement on 7.9 for the ka
with a bigger turbo and intercooler I bet that thing can get in the mid to low 5s

*LanceS13* · 10-15-2001, 11:35 PM

I just read that....very impressive.  I wouldn't think 15hp would shave 1.5s, but I guess it has to do with power curve and gearing, too.  Now I reeaaallly want one.

konkman · 10-15-2001, 11:58 PM

Pretty nice eh?  

I've got a few old pics of my car on the reader's ride section.  Check them out.

But 270hp, from a 1.8L, that huge.

how much does the CA go for and what kind of aftermarket parts can we find for it? Would we be able to import some in?? oh how hard was it to install and can it pass cali smog?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> thanks

CA is more smog legal then the SR, but good luck finding parts which won't break the bank.  If you want to swap find a red head, if you can deal with the smog Make a KA24DET.

*ca18guy* · 10-16-2001, 04:50 AM

Yeah my car is stock with the CA18 I have heard either 0-60 in 6.7 or 6.9 so it's pretty good. I found out about a 1/4 mile track near where I am so I'm gonna try to get there some day. Hopefully I'll have fixed all the bugs in my boost controller before I get there.

What about  about aftermarket parts??? The dealer would Know where to get them? Oh what is the CA block made from someone told me Iron???

*ca18guy* · 10-17-2001, 04:48 AM

Yeah it's made from iron. There is a good aftermarket for the CA engine to, probably need to order stuff from an oversea's company though.
