The Inlet cam from the DE works but the Exhuast cam is the same as the CA18DET

Anyone got pics of the ports on a 4 port?

I recall the SA version of the sentra 1.8i 16v being critisized cause the 103kw reading was a japanese reading which was actually like 95 or so SA kw.

Nissan SA then did work on the SA versions to get them to 100 SA kw.

So I'm sure our cams and heads must be better.

Even if the heads were identical to DET heads, this one is flowed so it will flow better.

I may part with the DET head though, but will only be in a month or two.

Ja the DE inlet cam works well but moves the "power band" up the rev range.

@DocG: that is not a problem, I am in no rush. Has it ever been skimmed, cracked, etc??

Nope everything on the car looks stock to me (no red silicone anywhere etc). According to the AA check I did this is the motor the car rolled off the factory floor with.
