Is the CA18DET a good engine?
Scores & conclusion. The CA18DET has shown that it offers some decent tuning potential out of the box however when put under the stress of drifting the well documented issues with big end bearings wearing out and bricking the engine make it a less then perfect drifting powerplant.
How much power does a CA18DET have?
The 1.8 L CA18DET was the last version of the CA engine to be released. It produces 124 kW (169 PS; 166 hp) and 228 N⋅m (168 lb⋅ft). It received a brand new DOHC aluminum head with 16 valves.

What are torque settings?
This setting lets you control the torque or turning power of the drill driver. The higher the torque (number on the torque ring), the more ‘power’ the drill driver produces and the deeper the screw can be driven into the workpiece.
