lol
not this crap again it depends on what you want I find the main difference just to be aluminum versus iron...i know there's more. there's numerous posts on forums about this whole 3s vs sr20 debate. both have put up insane numbers, both are reliable. --------------------  |

i think the CA18DET is a better engine than the SR20 but the SR gets more popularity. The CA is a stronger motor..its pretty much an RB26 minus 2 cylinders. They can handel like 400+ HP on stock internals. But in my opinion...3s is a better motor than the SR in a 4wd car, but for a 2wd car i say the SR or CA.

I was always under the impression that the CA motors were the superior motors, but the SR's were quite a bit cheaper to produce and develop further for similar power (but less reliable), so that's why they replaced the CA
 I could be wrong since im not too knowledgeable with Nissans, but i've always thought this to be the case
