Just got a s12!

[Dystopia]

jus thought i would let you all know i just picked up a s12 with a c20 in it... .i m mostly going to use it for parts nd **** but hey and extra set of wheel nice steering wheel and ca20 cran are worth the $200 i paid for it.

also another question does the ca20e intake maniofold work on a ca18det?

[Nismo1182]

Dunno?

I always wanted to do a VG30ET powered S12.

nice find....

I'd look for a fj20et since they seem to be relatively cheap engines...

[Dystopia]

i am 90% sure i will do a vg30e in it. i can get one for free or next to nothing, i may do a vg30et in i can get one for $100, but then again its a pain in the ***. next chouce after that would be a fj20

so anyone know about the intake manifold?

Got a parts source lined up do you? I can't imagine trying to support such an antique engine. Well I can but only because I'm sitting on three or four and a stack of goodies for them.

Do the VG man!

[Dystopia]

ya vg is the plan right now... so anyone know if the ca20e intake manifold works?

Welcome to the s12 club! I was given a s12 CA18ET, and plan on swapping a CA18DE turbo conversion in mine. I'll just learn from Sean's mistake. Glad to see another s12 in here.

the s12 is gfoing to be a serious project on for me s13 subframe and pront suspention on it just for ease when it comes to suspention products.

Nice find, it's a fun car and a good project. As for swapping a VG into a CA car, I don't know anybody that has, all the VG30E-powered S12's around are original factory 200SX SE V6's, but at least you know it'll fit in the engine bay! One of the things you'll need to get is an upper intake plenum from a 200SX V6, it's one of the few things that's S12-specific, it's shorter in height than the Z31 plenum, so as to fit under the S12 hood. Or you could use a Z31 plenum and get a custom hood with more clearance, or a hood with the scoop from an 84 200SX turbo, but those are hard to find.

anybody tried using the pathfinder manifold in a S12?

[cls12vg30]

Not that I know of. There has been some talk about using a VG33ER out of an S/C Xterra or Frontier, but no one has tried that I know of.

[minutericesentra]

That would be pretty awesome in that little car! They need to make a VG33DER!
