ive read a million times that people are using CA20 bell housings and skyline stumpy boxes behind them

which CA20 is the bell from
and which skyline the box from exactly

(post for someone else )

thanks fellas

Series 3 Bluebird with CA20.
R30 Skyline (L24 power) 5 speed.

Might need a different sized bearing to help it all mate up. I've heard of people matching a CA18DET front casing with the L24 R30 Skyline g/box.

yes, yes and... yes. need a different bearing. daveman posted the part number up about a month ago.

Any reason why no one has used the box out of the r31 pintara.Also is the flywheel from the ca20 a bolt up for the ca18. this is not for a 1200 so bulk is'nt a prob, but length could be.

if you're talkin about the CA20 pintara box, its the same as the CA20 bluebird box. they work, just not very strong. they only back a 2 litre four remember.

not sure on the flywheel, but the box would work if you didn't have a heap of power behind it and treated it verrry nicely.

Thanx lagy, I intend this to back a turbo'd de evetualy so that info is tops .

The CA20 flywheel and front pulley are wimpy and different to the CA18DE/DET.

The CA20 is like an asthmatic, calcium deficient, overweight big brother..might be bigger, but not as fast.

Bit of topic but
I used to run a stock CA20 gearbox behind my FJ20T bolted straight up cost me a six back of beer and never missed a beat.
The reason i tried it was because i was told that it is identical to the FJ20T box the only thing was 4th gear was i bit smaller.

Thanx for that dood .By smaller 4th gear,do you mean that 5th was an obvious overdrive rather than a well spaced next gear.Anyone else got experiance with these boxes?
