Can anyone confirm if the CA18DE and DET are the same?
Thanks Matty

Yes they are the same.

Dattodude do you know if there is stroker kit that can take the CA18DE to 2 litres?

Thanks for that Dattodude.

There are a couple of Japanese stroker kits for CA's but be prepared to put a second mortgage on your house to afford one. Jun makes one but I can't remember the name of the other place. There are probably several other Japanese tuning houses that make kits too.

i think tomei is the other 1 that makes strocker kits.

I only know of the Tomei kit. ~$10,000+

For 200cc it's not worth the trouble on a DET. I can see that it might be cool for a DE.
Spend the money on a better balanced/blueprinted engine, and some trick valve springs/cams.

yeah i got priced about 14,000$ for a 2.3 ca18 block rods crank all billet all custom made

ive also heard the tomei genesis motor would perform better
mmmm wipes drool.

$14,000.... Jeezus bo-beezus!

... but then again, I've known some people to spend $50,000+++ on their V8... Only to break the 11sec bracket

I have been told by my parts guy that the front running V8's in the Historics category spend $60,000 - $70,000 on their motors. Big coin!

Just toss in a Z24 Crank. It's a cinch, just a bit of manchinun is all.

A friend of a friend of a guy I once new did it and it run'd some nasty 1/4 mile times.
