Thanks, Dan
I think you mean the ca18det. The sr series only came in the 2.0 litre form in the later 200sx (uk spec) S14 model and the japanese 180sx (s13 chassis).

The ca is technically a slightly better engine in its design bit the sr20 is good too. The sr is based on a modified jeep/pick up engine while the ca is more or less a 4 cylinder version of the RB20det in the skyline.

I'd say you'd get an s13 ca18det engine cheap. Look for the later models around 1993 as they came with a viscous LSD.

If you want to see what kind of power they can produce, check out Norris Designs.
