Downpipe?

[TurboBen87]

Hi everyone, i have a 89 240sx fastback obviously a CA18det.... i was wondering, can i use an sr20 downpipe on this engine? will it matter? thanx all

its probably been answered, but since your too lazy to search, cuz it doesnt look like you did. yes, but, you must also use a sr o2 elbow. the 3 bolt flange is 15 degrees off, so either buy a sr downpipe and o2 elbow, or if you that desparate, you can just cut and reweld the flange.

Yep!

you will still have to cut and reweld the flange, no matter what.... On all three exhaust that Ive seen on the CA including mine all used the sr20 02 housing and down pipe and hit the frame unless cut and welded.

i had to cut and reweld mine.i used a greddy dp and sr o2 housing.

soif someone were to use the sr stuff, they're gonna have to reweld it anyway? so if if stainless steel, kiss the nice welds goodbye, unless you know a good welder?

[Not_a_sr]

welding SS isnt hard to make look pretty. especially 14-16gauge polished.

Were any of these CA's using CA specific motor mounts?

im using the ca mounts that came with my ca front clip.

I'm using a after-market SR elbow pipe,Trust downpipe, and Tanabe exhaust. No cutting required. Everything lines up perfect! SR20 Cusco motor mounts work on the CA18. My T28 would not fit w/ the factory KA mounts.
