Ca18 Det20

Ever been done?
Now that I have a rolling chasis and it's just sitting there(with parts still available ) my room mate and I thought since a CA18 DET20 front clip is only $1200 that this would be the perfect project for it.
I figure we're at least keeping the car all Japanese with this motor and drive train.
The independent rear LSD will be nice.

wouldn't the independent rear be a ton of custom work?

May as well go SR20DET Black Top if you going to swap a turbo Nissan 4 banger.

ca18 is not a bad engine. Is cheaper, a lot cheaper than a sr20det.

ca18 is a direct cousing of the engine in the twin turbo 300zx.

I say go for it
