The CA is smaller and lighter.

Having just gone through the same questions as you I eventually opted for the CA. My reasons were the fact that the CA is a lighter, more compact motor meaning the handling of the car isn't affected as much. Also, CA's are significantly cheaper to buy than SR's. I bought my CA18DET with gearbox, computer and loom for $1500. The dollars you save buying a CA over a SR could be put towards a brake and suspension upgrade or tapping into the huge horsepower potential of these motors.

imo if u can afford SR then buy it, its is compared to only VG30DETT and RB motors in nissan family. and is said to make over 400hp with stock internals.
also check this oz 1200 racecar.
