irokin Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 re: spinning bearings, one of those Trust "baffled" sumps may have helped? In my expreience, any engine code beginning with CA* is a bearing spinner! Trust don't make baffled sumps for the CA18, neither do Tomei. Infact its hard to find bigger/baffled sumps for the CA18 :sad: I just think the 4A-GZE/GTE is just so over-rated. CA18 isnt much better :hug: Quote
Clown Posted October 1, 2005 Author Report Posted October 1, 2005 Best way to prevent bottom end stuffing up in the CA's? remember cars goal is for track and drift. Quote
Jason Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) 4AGZE !!!! manily because i got one for $500 :hug: Edited October 1, 2005 by Jason Quote
Raven Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 My mate has a 20v 4AGTE in his Ae82 hatch. It's runnig some sort of GT30 turbo which is wasyyyyyy too big for the little engine, but it's pumping out 175 front wheel kilowatts on 16psi and will do about 220 on 18psi. But he wants smaller turbo first cos this thign comes on boost at 4500rpm or thereabouts. I'd choose a 4AGTE over CA or SR engine anyday. Quote
Raven Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) He bought the car like it. He's planning on something smaller. :hug: But man, that thing breaks traction like no tomorrow haha. It's kinda hair-raising feeling the front end step around under boost. Edited October 1, 2005 by AE35 Quote
rjenman Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 i think turbo lag would be handy for a daily driver so you can bsaically choose not to use boost when you're just putting around Quote
irokin Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 GReddy T88-34D on an SR20 Comes on boost....no traction. Apparently its not so bad to drive off boost...(Big duration cams). Theres also a big dip in power as the turbo starts building boost (apparently common). but yes... GT30 is a bit big for a 4A. Even a GT2871R would be kinda laggy with a standard .86 exhaust housing. You can request it with a .64 exhaust housing, not sure how that would go (you might lose power up top). Maybe try a straight GT28R. I would put good money on the fact that you will make MORE power with a slightly smaller turbo at the same amount of boost. Quote
demuire Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 Personally, as much as I like the big kick in the back from big boosted cars, I don't really like driving them. I personally prefer a car that builds power consistantly through the rev range... A lot more predictable, a lot easier to drive, a lot more forgiving. Quote
Xany Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 i notice that dyo run is in 3rd gear.....whats the go? Quote
Super Jamie Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 GReddy T88-34D on an SR20 hahahaha stupidest waste of money ever Quote

Hurricane Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 so what would be lighter then, a CA or 4A? I'm thinkin of one of da two in my KE20 so i wouldnt like it to be too heavy in da front. and what would be cheaper to rebuild? Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 The 4a would have to be alot lighter, they are physically much smaller. Keep in mind that in the nissan option the sr is actually a kilo or two lighter than the ca due to alloy block. Quote
