i need some help,just got my very first nissan,i have a 1990 180sx,i need to know if the 180sx and the 240sx are the some car.because i always find body and suspension parts for the 240 but not for the 180.and also i have the CA18DET engine i heard that engine can get up to 600hp but once again i can not find hardly any performance parts for it.

This tells you that when it comes to chassis, the 240 parts will help you... Just remember it's a 240 hatchback...

Building a 600Hp CA18 will require quite a lot of work, you will need to change a ton to support 600hp reliably.

As for parts, what exactly are you looking for? Cuz ive never had any problem finding CA18DET parts.

Also, dont take this the wrong way, but in case you are a noob.Turbos dont come in for CA18. Just get the turbo/wastegate and find a manifold it will bolt on to. Finding the right size for your goals will be up to you.As for injectors you can buy them from deatschwerks up to 850cc, but since the CA and Rx7 use the same injectors you can easily get 1000 plus.Tuning, just go buy Nistune and have a ball.

600HP will not happen from simple noobish bolt-ons, and i suggest you sell your car to someone who knows what their doing before you kill the now harder to get CA18DET

Looks like Z1 is the place for you, although you never stated what exacty you were looking for?What parts is it that you need?

lol

to the OP

did you read anything about the chassis.

i dont even think 600 hp in a CA is plausible

Post by **nifares240** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 4:28 pm

it's not a true 180sx. the guy who owned before you just rebadged and converted to one. there's plenty of parts around.
