Ca18det swap to Sentra B13 question.

[PulsarDet]

Has time goes by my current pulsar got quite rusty and It would be quite expensive to do all the body work. So I would like to drop everything in a Sentra B13 instead.

For those who made the swap, I thing Dee has done it.

1) Is the engine mounth of my current pulsar will fit on the sentra and do I need to make new braket's ? If yes tha't is not a big issues.

2) Since the transmission is the not de same I do pressume that we need to take the shifting rod for the pulsar also.

3) Can I use the same axel has my pulsar on the sentra ?

Other then that their is the wiring but I use a sr20det ecu on my ca18det.

If any other info or opinion that is the time.

Thanks a lot.

Dee has a B12 right now.

If your jumping into the B13 area, just get an SE-R. Turbo that and go like hell!

But since this IS the ca forum Bring everything you can from your pulsar into the sentra. I dunno if the wheel base is the exact width, if not you would need custom axles.

seriously, since you already have ur pulsar.... make good use of it, you will prolly need almost everything to make this conversion work.

May i take this time to shed a tear over the possible loss of another pulsar

Well the reason why I do believe that dee has done a setup like this, a few month ago he has post a few video of a setup like this, that he's done for a customer if i am not mistaker but never I will go with a sr20, since my ca18 it's quite a good setup has we speak. Got a T3-T4 turbo 650cc injector, custom clutch, phatom grip lsd, and a sr20det ecu with a laptop the only thing is I miss cam's. But for the moment I see If I keep the pulsar my main wiring is also all ****top cause of the rust on the car so It might be a lot of work and the pulsar is a 88, If i could get a 94-95 sentra would be nice and a bit more recent but will see.

If you think it's worth the headache, custom brackets willbe needed to mount the CA18 into a B13 chasis. Although it is the next generation after the B12, it is built cheaper than the B12 and KN13 pulsar chasis. The B13 has a smaller engine bay than the B12 and the engines (GA16DE/SR20DE) for the B13 were supported via mounts on the cross member whereas the B12 used it's cross member as a stabilizer. I'm not telling you it can't be done because it has already been done, but the amount of work involved is more than it's worth. And lord forbid if you're paying someone to do it for you . If you're going to stick with the CA, get you another pulsar chasis or get a B12 sentra or good luck with that headache because I'll never do it again.
