[240meowth]

i'm tight on money, but i hate getting beat by civics... (yes i know, i can't drive worth crap, yadh yadh yadh), i need engine power!  i'm in CA where can i get a SR or CA for cheap? w/ tranny ovbiously

are you saying CA as California, or Canada?
I know in California, neither engine would pass the emmissions testing.
But, if you mean Canada.... by all means.
How cheap are you looking?
A s13 sr20 and a ca18det both are about $1800-2300 each from unstable-hybrids.
Also, occasionally, you could check ebay and I've seen some s13's go for under $1000, but they dont come with any sort of warranty like if you bought from a shop.

actually, i saw 2 on ebay that actually had a warranty..i dont remember the shop i just searched nissan and ran into an sr that was at $400 with like 7 days left. but its up past a grand by now. im not sure what type of warranty, full, implied, limited, etc. but i doubt it would be something you could really trust if anything were to go wrong.

The CA is fairly torquey stock... Yes it is worth it. Its quite a bit easier to flow air in and out more quickly/efficiently in a turbo car than a NA car.. Intake/exhaust does more for a turbo car... and plus boost up is a very affordable option... My stock CA (internally) did fine at 0.9~1.0 boost for about a year.. (and is still fine) .. &nbsp;And you do lose some low-end power when upgrading, but its definitely worth it.
