i was wondering would the KA Engine Temperature Sensor (or Water Temperature Sensor) & Detonation Sensor+Mass Air Flow Meter fit in ca18det?

yes, yes, no, no. Buy the temp sensors for an 89 nissan pulsar nx se with a 1.8 to be sure, but I am 99% sure they are the same sensor.

I don't agree.

IDK about the temp sensor, though something tells me it doesn't work, I KNOW the KA det sensor is totally different and won't work, and the KA24E MAFS CAN be used, but will cause the fueling to be off at idle and higher RPMS. You can use it if you burn the ecu for the correct KA-E VQ map.

The plug is different, but it can be made to work. O2 sensors all have the same output, it's just the plugs and threads that are different. As long as it threads in, and you know which wire to hook the signal up to, it will work fine.

On a side note, yes, both temp sensors are the same - the gauge sensor, as well as the ecu coolant temp sensor. They were used on pretty much all of the nissan cars in the late 80's and early 90's. In fact, those are the sensors I have in my ca, so I am 100% sure they are correct.

As for the knock, and maf... I am sticking to my no, no - not direct bolt on as stated.
