- - ca20e pistons? (http://nissansilvia.co.uk//showthread.php?t=5074)

As far as i know, et and 20 pistons and rods are the same, the CA20 gets its extra capacity due to a longer stroke on the crank! hence, if someone ever wanted to build a serious ET or DET with a 2.0 capacity, use a CA20et crank!!! :D
Rare as rocking horse s**t to find and wicked expensive but the only job for some serious ponies!!!:cool: Norris designs supply a stroker kit with this crank off the shelf, but u need a big fat wallet!!!

CA18DET rods and pistons would still make your CA20 bottom end stronger if your trying to get as much power as possible from it and a cheap upgrade! i can sort you out with a set if your stuck mate!;)

BTW, Any chance of findn me a ca20 inlet manifold bud?!...

yeh we have millions in fwd, but im mostly after bits from the euro's because we only have crap over here, im using a fwd ca20 inlet manifold cut and re welded aswell as all of its ignition as its newer and has better sensor set up.

Bren from Apex performance has had some custom 2litre cranks made for the DETs, but around £1200 each iirc they are also 8 stud fitting for the flywheel and need the DET oil pump & sump and youd need to have the bottom timing belt pulley modified to fit the larger DET crank nose diameter, but all do-able if ya doing a serious build

Or get an SR20DET for like £800......

yeh man ive actually thought about using the det gear but i got myself some 4g63 pistons and rods so im gonna have them ground to fit eventually,i have a manifold though i am i aus and it still on the car for now so if u really stuck i can send it.and i dont wanna change the engine as it is a good motor and is quoted that ill make 350- 400 horsepwr atw , so im fine wit that and it will be all factory looing wich is good over here!
