i have a whole 1985 nissan 200SX CA18DET engine and car for sale. The only thing i am taking off of it which will make it slow agian is the turbo (t25 sorry) ECU, intercooler, exhaust manifold, BOV and the other turbo items. ill have the stock CA20E parts back on it with the CA20E ECU in the car so it will run, but it will not have a turbo just stock. ill sell the car with the CA18DET block and pistons and everything to anyone for $1000 for the whole car or like $800 for the block and crap. Needs new rings but dont all old cars i have them too.

I dont think he has the ca18Det in his 200sx turbo. If he does, then how would he be putting his ca20e parts on it to make it run? not possible. as far as getting CA's, theres a few options. I ran across a new one today while on Ebay. http://www.streetstyleracing.com has em for $1000

http://www.venus-auto.com has em, but no price on the website.

good luck

Run a search...pretty legit, but you MIGHT have to deal with broken or missing stuff, they make it right though...at least they have for most everyone. I have an RB25 coming from them in about 2 weeks...we'll see how it is :)

i really got to look into shipping engines to the US, you guys are gettign ripped off, if i can find someone in Miami to ship the engine to i am sure i can beat these guys prices, i get CA18DET's comlplete here for $400-$800 max, and thats out of locally sold S13 200sx's, even cheaper out the junk yards.. i'll do a little snooping around this weekend and talk to my buddy that runs a shipping company that does sea freight shipping to and from miami..

hey boost_boy maybe we can work something out.

All engine importers large + small, have had problems lately; both with supply and customs.
