But the CA is a SOHC 1.8, and the VG30 is a V6 3 litre Quad Cam ?

 

I know I sound ridiculous but I will do my best to find some reading on the subject. It was in an SCC a while back talking about a JDM tuner's house S14 that was running the CA18DET (the first turbo motor the Silvia's ran), rather than the newer and more famed SR. Made a few mentions about parts compatibility between the two.

 

Yeah, the original S13's ( both 180sx and Silvia) ran the CA's.

We can pick uppa auto turbo model for around 5 grand now, but with a ****eload of k's on the clock

Another page in pure chart form and a bit more technical but not much. Rest of the searches I was able to bring up were in Japanese so it looks like I'm not gonna be able to post up anything.

 

, its cool, but do keep me posted, i would be interested to have a look, as Chris his is VG30 in his Z32 300zx, and he has 2 spare for his drag car..

This is a Race-prepped Engine, standard box, with FMIC and BOV Fitted, running around 200kw's at the wheels

 

Larger TC06 Turbo mounted to the AC's engine

 

Preping the '62.. damn !

 

With rocker cover off, and turbo in.. notice how much heat-wrap they put around the dump pipe

 

i don't believe so. the valvetrain is where the CA shares much of its similarity to the VG series. Cam on bucket as opposed to the rocker arm that made it to the SR. Also, it has a timing belt as opposed to the SR and KA's chain. Most of the parts are interchangable with N13 pulsars and S12 200SX's

 

That cordia up there is running the TC06 at 18 pound !

 

just noticed this

the CA was a DOHC. As for the VG, i don't know if each bank was a SOHC or a DOHC. I would assume it was SOHC per bank, making it a DOHC overall.

 

No, the VG30DETT is actually a quad cam engine, as stated by nissan in his book.. its has twin heads per bank..

i thought thought the CA was a twin cam, but havent actually opened one yet, so i thought i'd start a cam less
