are there any other nissan engines that you can use the injectors from to put in a ca18det? maybe a sentra/sunny/maxima? is it a straight bolt-in?

1st and second gen RX7s to small for rotaries but good for CAs. If you are looking for some squirts I have a set of 444s from a GT-R and some 550s from a seven. Both sets have been cleaned by RC engineering and have flow charts to go with them.

I thought it was only the secondaries on a 84-85 GSL-SE RX-7 that were 550's? Meaning you'd have to find 2 cars to get enough injectors for a 4 cylinder

RB20DET uses top feed high impedance injectors 270cc - too smallRB25DET, SR20DET, VG30DETT use side feed high impedance injectors 370cc. Obviously wont work cause CA's have normal top feedRB26 uses top feed low impedance injectors 440cc. So if you can find one they will work....Or one of the many other cars that have top feed big injectors (DSM, etc)Or new injectors aren't too bad in the 450-550 range. I bought a set of 550's for $200 2 years ago...

Brand new DSM 550s are $209.99. A set of used 450s go for anywhere from $50-75. We need a sticky that says this.... I think it's asked at least once a week.

I think the 450's are the max you can use on the stock ECU and you'll run stupid rich if you do.
