I've been trying to source some parts for my engine, specifically:

Turbo inlet flange gasketTurbo outlet flange gasketSpark PlugsCam shaft timing beltCam belt idler bearingCam belt tenioner bearing.

Unfortunately, no-one seems to be able to find any of the parts by the part numbers given in the parts list. I've tried a few different places including the local nissan dealership. Is there any other way that's reccomended to find the parts? Many of them don't say exactly what they come from originally...

Thanks in advance!Brian

yeah but the turbo gaskets arent the same. the turbo uses a different style o2 housing so they dont line up. i know because i just bought a set for 18 bucks and i can only use one of the gaskets.

I was able to use the the turbo to manifold gasket. I should have been more specific. The mani to engine I used a ca18de gasket. As for the turbo to O2 did not need replacing so cant help there.

hey, do you know where i can find (if i need them) the little gaskets that go where the oil and coolant lines connect to the engine? i was hoping that my gasket kit would come with them but of course it didnt.

This may sound crazy but the turbo mounting and O2 housing gaskets are the same as on a 1988 Pontiac Grand Am w/2.0 turbo. I know because I bought a CA18DET turbo from Dee and slapped it on my turbo GA.

Victor Reinz makes a turbo mounting set for the turbo GA, part number is GS33273. I'm not sure if all the needed gaskets are inside but whatever is in there will fit a CA18DET.

If you're interested in downloading the entire Victor Reinz catalog, the link is HERE.
