Ca20e power advice (again)
« on: Oct 14, 2003, 10:37PM »
A stock ca20e makes 78kw when brand new so just how much power could i have lost in the 16 years the car has been on the road ? im assuming about 6kw at the moment  :-\ Also is 100kw really attainable in a car of my age ? as ive said before im thinking bout extractors + 2inch zorst a cam & if possible a chip but only if it's cheap :P  the big problem is i don't think all of that will be quite enough to get to the 100 mark  :-\ So are there any other less std mods (still on the cheap side guys im not made of money, probably noting over $500) ive heard the U12 r31 made 82-83kw std, im not sure if that was because it was fwd drive... but i had also heard that the u12 had a diffrent coil set up, witch im quite intrested in learning about.

I know it sounds exactly like the first post i ever made but the more i think about it the less sure i am of reaching the 100 mark  :'(

what about a cam? that'd give you a bit more.

for your mods.. allow around the following figures for your increases in power.. its usually fairly spot on. take the following percentages from your stock figure..

pod/cai - 3-5%
exhaust - 5-8%
extractors - 3-5% sometimes more in rwd's
hi flow cat - 2-3%
cam (depends on grind) - anywhere from 5-15%
chip (depends on mapping & other mods) - 5-10%

so you could probably be looking at around 95-99-ish kw if you get average -> low increases..

ya i said a cam :P at the moment im just waiting for you to post up the DIY so i know how to go about it with out stufing any thing up lol Like i said im worried about the ware&tare on the engine after 16 years of use, ive heard of younger cars losing up to 10kw !!! so im scared LOL

Based on the figures using the lowest in all cases bar the cam, witch should ruddy well make at least 10kw with the antrx grind, even on my old warn out cam, the car should make about 96kw... that's also using 72kw as my actual STD power, witch is what i have to aim at cause of the age of me car. Using 78 and thoes figures i got 103. So it's not as bad as i though but ill just have to save up for some of it lol i didn't plan on getting the cat since there almost a wast of money.


cheers noss :)

ya i said a cam

oh yeah you did too  :P

if you can find a cam shaft (both of you) it would make life a shitload easier.. fwd cam cant be used in rwd car & vice versa. i will have install info up soonish.. i'm just a bit busy at the moment..

grind will cost between $100-130


as for power loos in an old car, i wouldnt worry, it wouldnt be as large as most people think.. sometimes people say it is huge though cause their manufacturer had overquoted the original figure to try help sell the car.

Good good, another thing though... new cam.. i know there about 150-300, but just how much more gain would i get with a new one instead of getting my 282,000km one done ? and finally, you regrind's would sute a r31 pinny ca20 now wouldnt they ? it's always been a bit unclear to me if all ca20's are the same or very simler since theres quite a few diffrent makes of cars with em.

ca20's are all same internally apparently.. maybe a slightly different cam..

from what i've researched, people are claiming around 10-15kw from their ca20e cams.

I reckon it would be interesting to see how a ca20e would go with rebuilt mtr, ported head, cam, oversized stainless steel valves, stiffer valve springs, quad throttle bodies, EMS computer.  I reckon u'd have a little pocket rocket.  The only thing is, is that it'll be quite expensive to get the above work done!!

I will accept all donations!!

lol

Go the cam, 2 1/4 cat back CLE, you'll be happy with a decent difference!! That should only come to around 500ish

Great stuff noss, like i said earler im getting tail lights this week & maybe a wiper arm if i can afford it so it'll be a week or two before i can send down a money order if you find one, that's assuming my tail lights are $150... if there cheaper then i may very well have the money by next wednesday.

sometimes people say it is huge though cause their manufacturer had overquoted the original figure to try help sell the car.

i doubt nissan, or other car manufacturers, would be overquoting too much to sell pintara gli's :P  power and performance certainly wouldnt've been their selling point when they were released! ::)

this is also what our cam guys reckon.. they have ca20e cams for when you guys are ready to get them, and they reckon they're good for 15hp

OK, for all you ca20e guys there is hope.
a member of club-s12 claims to have done a dyno run & got these figures;-
176hp @ mtr. :o
128.26kw @ wheels. :-X
qtr. mile;- 16.43 sec.
???????????????????
only mods, extractors & exhaust.
obviously a dodgy dyno run. the dyno's printer wasn't working.
but yeah, there you go, do those mods & your'e gunna kick arse.
if you want to check out the thread it's in bragging rites;- post is titled holy sh*t.

apparently 128kw@wheels = about 170hp@mtr. so he's only lost about 6hp. through the drivetrain, so there's definately something wrong with those figures. anyhow i think i'll get all my figures from the track/dragstrip.

apparently this guy stuffed up, he reckons they actually only gave him the at motor readout.
still don't see how he could get 128kw@ the mtr. with just extractors & exhaust.

the cam guys they dont recommend the euro cam as its very similar to our aussie cams already.

there are some bigger and better cams available for the ca20 when you want one which also give around 15kw

What would u say a, i guess, a CA20E Cam that doesnt stuff round ur idle..when would that make its power in the rev range?
My CA20E seems to pull from about 4700rpm-4900rpm onwards,
it hasnt been taken above 5500rpm but it feels like it could keep goin nicley to 6500rpm.
What u guyz think???

The FWD U12 CA20E's make peak torque at 4000rpm... that might be why your gazelle appears 'quicker' once you get to that point.  I'm not sure on where peak torque is on your car however nissanman.

My redline is around 6000rpm (no point going much higher than 5500rpm though).  Rev limiter is 6500rpm.

I think the FWD CA20E's were tuned for more top end versus torque (not by much though).

PowerChip98 Gold  CA20E R31 Pinny


Please explain how you got a powerchip for the rest of us. According to their website they don't make them, or to quote

"Unfortunately there is no Powerchip upgrade released for the Nissan Pintara 2.0 (RWD)  at this time. Your vehicle has been seen by Powerchip but with our current technology we cannot obtain significant gains from it."

You either have your hand on your knob, or you know something we don't, and would appreciate it if you shared it with us.

okay. cool. didn't mean to get stuck into you or anything - it's just that I looked at powerchip and was told FWD you can chip, RWD no go buddy

noss makes chips for U12 pintaras, and not for R31 pintaras, so I assumed that it couldn't be done.

well anything can be done... they could make one but they dont because if they push th ca20e too much.... they pop, and they pop easy. doin a mild tune on a ca20 will yeld piss poor results. and talking from experience, a downright waste of money.
i hope dalkhalf aint yankin ya chain dude
