DAMN! nice work slw240sx! more to the point, the sticky is a good idea! I beleive a gasket kit for a CA18DE out of a pulsart will work, except for the turbo related gaskets. rebuilkd kits will also work. main and rod bearings are the same for all CA motors. can't think of anything else off the top of my head right now.

SAMCO sells CA18DET upper and lower radiator hoses as well as turbo hoses. Check Raretrick.com. You can thank me for that seeing as I convinced the owner to start being a distributor for SAMCO

are you guys sure that the FWD water pump can stand up to the requirements of the RWD with clutch fan??? i broke two already on a RWD DE!!! i am thinking fo going with an electrical water pump, IF i can;t get a brand new O.E. RWD CA18DET water pump.

Quote »Check Raretrick.com[/quote]ok ok this post needs to be a sticky...

i see that they sell JUN cams Kits for the CA18DET as well lash type and sild lifter kits, 350 a cam or ~900 stage 1 kit stage 2 for 1500 etc etc... jun flywheels, main & rod bolts, Kazama CA18 ex manifolds ($1000 US)

and more and more, oh man i didnt need to find this site... i thought iwas going to be able to save this years bonus..

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

I'll try and set up a sticky with some links to manufacturers of CA parts etc...maybe an engine seller's link sticky too...

I'm going out of town this weekend, but I should have some free time soon!

RWD CA18DET water pump.[/quote]NO ONE really answered this, i have briken a couple FWD pumps, and have eventually re-used the pump that i removed that was leaking through the bleed hole..

the problem with the FWD water pump is that it doesn;t have the "c" clip below the bearing on the shaft to stop the blades of the pump from hitting the inside of the block when the engine is under load from driving and the clutch fan.

i am hoping that the ones i got were jsut cheap ones, cause NISSAN sucks here locally and told me they dont have OE replacements so "hard luck"

has anyone used a FWD water pump on a RWD engine that uses/used a clutch fan to kinda get an idea if it can take the load.

I am not going to be using a clutch fan, but it still got to take the load and high RPM....

i thhink the clutch fan broke the FWD pumps i got.

i think i will post the broken water pump so ya'll can see the damage..

please someone let me know.

now ordering the gasket rebuild kit, oil pump, and hopefully water pump.

thanks guys

Was this question ever answered? I want to replace my water pump but no dealer around here can get me the CA18DET pump and I don't want to replace it again any time soon. I am still running the crank pump, that is why I wonder about the Pulsar's pump reliability. Did some searching, never found an answer.

So here's a question... how come no one has just gone to an electric fan? That should help aleviate some of the stress placed on the pump itself...

However.. I could import/stock a few of the RWD pumps from Japan if you guys would be interested?

thats what i was starting to wonder. I didn't get a fan or clutch w/ my motor, and the KA fan doesn't bolt up, so i just planned on getting an e-fan anyways.

Post by **slw240sx** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

fans are only around 60$ at most parts stores. and i cant see paying upwards 200$ for a brand name.

Post by **GoofyATX240** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

Im using a perma cool 14inch single electric fan. Bought it from summit for 83 shipped hehe. Its nice hehe.

Post by **slw240sx** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

me too, cept i some how got it free with a radiator attached.

Post by **slw240sx** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

im too cheap to spend 60$ on a fan any how lol

Post by **GoofyATX240** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

You cheap bastage hehe.... I was too cheap to buy the flexalite which were 210 ahah. Then I found the perma cool and jumped on it right away. Thing is loud as hell 2950 cfm

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

CA18DE is the same part # as the CA18DET according to Paul... I remember from some OLD OLD thread! Just get an OEM Nissan one and not the cheap a$$ autozone one and you'll be fine:)

Post by **Drill_Sergeant** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

yeah not to bring up an old topic again...but i just had the same problem. i just got in from being with the car. but i installed a water pump from nissan which came from a ca18de FF. everything was fine and dandy gave it a some throttle and poof. the friggin pulley broke off the water pump.

so whats the deal?

who carries an electric pump for the ca18det?

Post by **r34 gtr** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

now im scared...i went through 3 pumps before i got this one..this one has held up b/c i dont have the fan on it (went with the permacool 14incher) 2 were autozone and 1 was oem nissan. the one on it now is oem. ill go by and see if my dealer cant get me a ca18det pump... has anyone tried courtesy nissan to see if they can get one in? just a thought...they can get anything.. friend almost bought a sr20vet head, wiring harness and ecu from them..

i dont know i didnt ask. i needed something sooner. but i hope you read the thread i made. CA water pumps are the same but different among FF and FR. i just ordered the FR from the turbo SOHC ca18et

Post by **r34 gtr** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

let me know if it works/is the same as the det pump.

Post by **GoofyATX240** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

Ill be at courtesy tomorrow and I can ask, but I ordered the DE one so now I dont know what i should do lmao.

Post by **r34 gtr** » Thu Jun 26, 2003 4:05 pm

well, if it helps, my oem ff de pump has survived many trips to 7k rpm and half a dozen dyno runs. i think as long as you make the load on the pulley as light as possible youll be ok.
