Obviously this is for Boostboy,

My fuel pump died out, and rather than going with an overkill aftermarket one, I was curious if the Pulsar CA18DE fuel pump could handle the demands of a stock ca18det?

thanks,

Steve

Keep boost levels stock and it should be just fine. Aftermarket pumps are crack-head nowadays, so if I were you, I would go for the upgrade if you can. But again, the pulsar's pump supplies enough fuel to fuel the DET @ a max of 10psi of T2-poop boost.

Walbro 255's are so cheap Id just go ahead and get one. Its prob close to the same price as a stock DE fuel pump anyways.

That's what I did, I found one for $50 bucks shipped and snagged it. Once I replace a bad wheel bearing and hook the E-brake back up this car is gonna be a daily driver for me and the wife. It doesn't handle as good as my B13, but man it's so much more fun to drive with the ca18det in it. I'll post a few pics of it, it's probably the only B12 in the country with a Sunny GTI front clip, ground effects, and rear bumper. The next project I'm working on is a 1969 Jeep rock crawler, but a dude that writes for crawl magazine is going to do the build for me with part donations from his sponsors.

I saw one with that sentra SE front end on it years ago. The color was white and I thought it was riduculously igly, but yours actually look really nice. The B13 is not so bad either, but I too have a B13 with JDM front on it that once housed a CA18DET swap and now I'm prepared to get rid of it. Cars look good and keep up the good work.

It's the same car, what a difference a coat of paint can make eh?
