everyone is for the SR, but the CA would be my choice because of the iron block and direct acting valve train. its just has reliabilty issues cause of the nissan crappy engine managment. i heard once you do the head gasket that its just as reliable as an SR if you go to stand alone. but i may be wrong.

 

I think something else with the cooling system is also a weak spot for the CA as well..

 

yes, an oil cooler will be a good idea.

 

I've seen and worked on a red S13 with a CA. Smallish IC, attic vent on the hood, homebrew exhaust... is this the same one? I'd like hear the story of it... and tell the previous owner some new stories about it and it's 16yo owner!

 

DAN no i am not him jay is my boy though the CA in brandon is jason, saturn jays's boy. And jasons bro drives the Turbo saturn.

 

i saw that red hatch ca at track day 6

 

The red s13 was my friend Chris's car, did swap in 2001. Drove it around pretty stock for awhile, upgraded intercooler, turbo died, crazy overheating/electrical problems, sold to Nissan dealership on fletcher.

 

Martin you goof ball!

 

aren't CA's ALL iron, including the head?? if so, blow the head gasket, i wanna see a block and head get welded together jk, good luck w/ the swap
