motors are cheaper to get, are often beated on, and parts are hard to find stateside. they can take alot of boost, but will probably require a rebuild.

I love my CA, When i first bought it, it had a shot T-25 runing on about 9psi. Smoked like a chimney but hauled ass. Since then Ive put on a ball-bearing T-28
set at around 6psi and runs just as fast, if not faster and spools quicker. Cant wait to turn up the boost and see what happens. I can see alot of potential with the CA.

the CA has been highly ignored state side, dare i say descriminated against, and imo is no where nere as bad as some may say. parts are becoming actually very easy to find, and in the past couple months, shops on Ebay are carrying more and more quality shit such as tomei (cams, gears etc) Martin made in the high 500 (580 something) bored over to a 1.9, fully built and massive turbo. it revved to about 10K i believe and never saw the end of the torque curve, but it shows high HP dyno queen possibilities...
I say do it, mainly because i ditched my CA project, i cant fuckin finish anything, but anyways do it cause theres no good reason not to, just make sure everything is fresh on the motor and youll be golden
