How reliable is it? Potential horsepower? Ease of maintenance? Availabilty of parts? Any additional information would be great! I am thirsty for knowledge!

There is a bit of an aftermarket for the CA18, but not as much as the KA24 or SR20. You could easily do a turbo upgrade for big HP gains.
Stock it has around 180hp. It has potential

The CA18 is actually a stronger motor than the SR...but good luck finding anything for it outside of Japan.

Hey,
I too am thinking about the CA18 motor. Heres a few places to check out.
www.norrisdesigns.com (uk website..offers all you could ever want for a ca18det..and its in english)
www.sxoc.com (uk 200sx owners group..has a message board)
and www.240sx.org 's NICO forums has a CA18 specific forums with a few guys that have highly modded ca's.
one thing to remember about the ca..it was sold in the uk and australia until 94 in all s13 200sx's so there's TONS of info and upgrades for it in those 2 countries. AND there is an english version of the ca 200sx fsm availiable to download..and purchase(just haven't found where to buy it from) lastly its going to be somewhat easier to get stuff from the uk than japan, I emailed Norris Designs and they air mailed me a catalogue free from over there. and when you are ready to buy one let me know..I know somewhere to get one from.
