whats up guys, i found a rwd turbo 200sx (1984), and was wondering if it was possible to swap a ca18det into it, or even an sr20.
it already has the ca18et, but that only puts out 120 somethin hp, lol.
i dont know anything about 200sx's

it's possible

But I think that the costs will be more than the benefits.

It's a bit lighter, shure. But invest the money for the swap in engine modifications and you have a faster S13, where CA18/SR20 swaps are easier.

Well, I answered the only thing that appeared to be a question, right?
It's possible to swap a CA18det in it. If anyone had a better answer, he would have replied. You won't get a step-by-step photo-story here, so try it or go with the ca18et.

Friends of mine put a CA18DET into a lil 200SX (89) the RWD versions are actually a pretty easy swap, and you couldnt probally even get away saying its what came in it (CA18E vs CA18DET)

Very light with pretty good power, and fun handling. I was going to but my now ex fiance said I had to pay rent instead!

i saw an older S12 (200sx RWD) that had an SR for sale here for 5500, sweet car but overpriced for what he wanted. im kinda interested in the CA, id love to have a an S12 or S13 with a CA18DET in it...mmmm, fun car..
