its a piece of crap, the CA18DE will run circles around it, far less a DET

Dave u say "aka Nap Z", does it have a relation? cuz i waz thinkin that the CA's has nothing to wit the Zed's, or do u mean the parts are similer?

first of all CA and Z series engines are two different engines...

CA....belt driven, while Z is chain
i have a CA too hoss, and its real good engine if yuh doh really want too much, and doh really want to spend too much..... :lol:

alot of the parts are interchangeable as mentioned before, and too parts are readily available, the engine was not really designed for big speed.. so to say....
its more of an old model type of eco engine, the ex plug fires a few degerees after the in plug spendin any fuel left in the chamber, so it optimises the fuel.......

well thats what i gathered bout it.......... :roll:

the downsides are, its belt driven, carb, poor bore and stroke, getting older and older, the price for one is like what $3500, look around and and plead a bit and im sure u will find a SR20, :roll:

then again come and buy mine........ill give u it for $2000..... :mrgreen:

and i have CA20 8-plug eh.. :twisted:

can anyone help me with repair manual for ca18 carburator 8 plugs?

briefly: need to check spark-wires whether they properly connected, vacuum-pipes the same, settings for ignitions (coils connection, marks on shaft).

Thanks!

Need timing specs for nissan ca18s carbureted engine.

What specs you need to get? The order is 1-3-2-4. Was having some issues with my ca18i (single point fuel injected) but somehow the order starts from right to left and not left to right. Still checking it out. Will let you know
