Yeah I can't confirm either I only read it somewhere... Bell housings will most definitely be different 😉

Oops My Bad . I meant a RB25DET for R10 000 and not the RB26DET 8)

So SR20DET sounds like the better option. With a T3/T4 Turbo and GoTech Pro Managment etc. Should make some nice power 😉

t3 t4 is pretty laggy, but can give you lots of power, but you have to boost pretty high to make use of the t3/t4, like 1.4bar or 2.0bar.

Dislex does 240kw at 1.4/1.5bar so t3/t4 should be getting close to 300kw at 1.8bar.

Seeing as you're in zn I'd go for a really good gt28 turbo, lots of power and driveability. If its not your primary ride SR20DET T3/T4 combo can be really nice.

does anyone have any more figures with sr20det? mine almost touches 200kw @ 1bar.

Ero, what are your figures like? Must be the same as a stockish S14, like 130kw to 140kw on the wheels if you have a intercooler/chip etc. (Stock s14 = 128kw +-)

I had a S14 gbox and a S134 gbox on the ground next to each other with an eye to swop the bell housings and it doesnt look like they will interchange. I may be wrong though.

you sir, are most definitely correct.

the gearboxes are the same however, as far as i have read.

so a sr20det bellhousing swop will work with the ca18det gearbox, but the ca18det will not fit the sr20det properly.

so your best bet is to get the sr20 with its gearbox, and that way, if you're lucky you might just get a nice clutch with it too!!!

What I was getting to with the gearbox story is, internally they are the same, but they differ externally... S15 is 6 speed and is WEAKER than S13/S14 gearbox 😀

yes i was trying to confirm your story.

the gearboxes between the s13 and s14 are the same, but the bellhousing are different.

so they at least will have to be interchanged if you are going to use your ca18det gearbox on an sr20det engine!

Hey Guys.

What are your thoughts about replacing the CA18DET Motor With the 2.0 16V Mazda Motor And Putting a bigger turbo on?

Cause its much cheaper than an SR20DET and parts is more easily available.

Any Opinons or comments?

I say go with the Mazda motor, much better than a dodgy Nissan engine
