Aiden, I've got an old CA18DET long motor I picked up somewhere, it's minus all the turbo stuff, as I understand this engine has a blown head gasket. the original owner got another CA18 & swapped it in. So I can't guarantee the condition of the engine. If you're interested in it, I'll talk to my partner about letting you have it for nothing.What I wanted to do with it was get liners fitted to make it a genuine 2 litres. I was going to talk to Wilkins Performance here in Sydney about it, as their reputation is top notch.I've seen liner kits for SR20's to make them a 90 mm bore, giving 2.4 litres,so something similar for the CA18 would be needed. I thought this would make a nice alternative to an SR20, being physically smaller & a little lighter. Also if you're willing to travel up to Sydney, the Northern Wreckers at Londonderry had some EXA's with CA engines the last time I was there. I'd recommend a series 3 B/Bird 5 speed for behind this engine, as the 2nd gear is a bit taller & therefore closer to 3rd gear than the R30 stumpy box. This is what I have for the SR20DE I'm putting into the Sunny sedan I've been assembling for a while. OR how about a 2 litre twin cam 16 valve L18. A guy by the name of Jamie Waterhouse here in Sydney has a 2.4 litre DOHC 16 valve L18, using a Z24 crank, & a KA24DE head on his l18, all in a 120Y 2 door sedan rally car. If you used an L20B crank instead of the Z24 & bore it 1 mm to 86 mm, it'd be eligible for under 2 litre. Theres a lot of work getting the head & block to fit, but it'd be a hoot watching the reactions whenever you popped the bonnet. Jamie reported that the conversion gave the L series the feel of an A series, in that it'd still rev even after the cam stopped, instead of hitting a wall like they do. The L18 I have in the Sunny coupe stops dead at 5300, wont go any further, better change up or you're going backwards. or maybe a Stanza L16 block with a Z18 crank & rod, pistons, head & an SR20 turbo fitted for under 3 litre (1770cc X 1.7 = 3009cc). You can still use all the crossmembers Jeff can help you with for an L series swap & then you go hunting rotaries. I've got a Z18 in pieces I bought to stick the head & injection on my Z24 Navara, which won't work, so it's sitting in the same shed as the CA18.
