I thought Koguchi's 180sx had a ca18det....?

[Nemesis]

ok so i was jus lookin around for modifications for a ca18det...then i come up on this

http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/fe...twodrift_hold/

it says that kochui's 180sx is powered by a sr20det...but in the issue of Drifting Mag. they say it was a ca18det...both magazines say his car is pushing out only about 340hp...so the question is...

is it a ca18det or a sr20det under the hood...?

[MrodDrft]

Front MID-mounted Sr20 pushing 500ps

[Nemesis]

i'm talking about his old red one...iono if its different or not...but yeah....i have a feeling your talking about his blue one...

[MrodDrft]

yea sorry that was his GREEN one, the red one i dunno, i do know in the article it said Sr20det

[hachiroku-fc3s]

Its an SR.

[Ichi-Go]

The drifting mag lied!

I have the mag and it says CA18det but when you actualy look at the motor it is obvious its a SR.

[MrodDrft]

dont trust anything a US magazine tells u

[Feint]

I wouldn't mind seeing some CA18DET cars on a professional level.Strong engine,too bad there isn't as many parts as easily accessible as the SR engines.

[TonyFromNapa]

dude drifting magazine says ca18 but u can see in the pics its a sr20. unless u dont know your engines that is.

[Nightwalker]

Who's Tony from Napa, what do you know about engines? If I wanted to know about grapes, you'd be the man to ask.

Peter's gettin his 20valve runnin btw. Should be done tomorow. He also spent 50 bucks on a stock Corolla seat, and realized it didn't fit in the car with the six point he got from you. Wonderful

[TonyFromNapa]

hahaah, really? well i always had race seats...haha... dope peters car running... 20v represent....haha

[RubHamusan]

and just because it's cool looking

[Ichi-Go]

There really are any parts, go to the NICO forums and go to the CA section and you will we what we are talking about. There are parts but they have to be ordered from japan. Most CA people are starting to make/modify parts to work with the CA.

[RubHamusan]

kind of a confusing post, but anyways. i am a member of nico aswell. and i dont mind ordering parts from japan ,or australia for that matter.

i would rather wait on the good stuff.



but i have a sr so i dont have to worry about that.
not buy choice i would like to add. i'm not a sr fan at all.

[prodigy]

Yes, thank you. CA all the way. I am going to have to take a look back at the drifting mag Import Racer put out because they said it was a CA but I guess I never squinted close enough at the engine to notice it wasn't. I just took it as Koguchi is one crazy guy and he had a CA in one of his cars.
