CA18DET in an S12...
Im thinking about buying a 200sx S12 since they are cheap around here (usually around 400$) and then buying a CA18DET since 1) its a cheap yet awesome motor set 2) The S12 already came with a CA18ET so im thinking the swap shouldnt be all that difficult?
Any thoughts on this swap? Anyone hear or know of anyone whos done it? I need another car to toy around with and i figure ill go back towards nissan and keep my Starion as a fun sunday car. Thoughts/ideas?

Re: CA18DET in an S12...
The CA18DET came stock in the S12/200sx... It was the MK2 S12 Silvia RS-X... Japanese market only.
It's an easy swap. Pretty much a direct bolt in if I remember correctly. The KA takes a little more work, but it's well worth it... I owned a KA24DE S12 and gawd dang... it was fun as hell. |

Re: CA18DET in an S12...
Im thinking KA now though. Because im going to be picking up a TIG here shortly and hopefully with practice i can fab up my own intercooler/manifold for a KA-T setup. Now to find another job. Thanks for the input.
And ive chose to put it into an S12 because they are cheap here (like 400-500) for a running car, whereas a S13 shell is like 1500$.

Re: CA18DET in an S12...
tig is my favorite, and aluminum is a nice break from steel once in a while. its like anything else, practice makes perfect. (i dunno if youve tried it before or not)
ps in your sig it says the quest is done? update your thread!

Re: CA18DET in an S12...
cool sounds good. i think when you move onto tig, you might find it a bit easier than stick. its def more relaxed, you can wear light clothing, and you can take your time.. its alot like gas welding in some ways. if i have a choice i always choose tig over anything else.. depending what it is obv

I'm taking a welding class at my school, only I'm stuck with the crappy oxy-feul welder for now.

Easier and cheaper to do than the whole engine swap. |

Re: CA18DET in an S12...
the entire engine control system must be swapped over, and the stock tach will not work.
