I’m planning on swapping the woefull underpowered ca20e in my s12 200sx. Decided on the ca18det mostly for price reasons. I know a few people have done similar swaps, so I’m looking for general info on difficulty, things to look out for, and where to buy.

I’m planning on getting the engine from [http://www.osakajdmmotors.com/intronissan.htm](http://www.osakajdmmotors.com/intronissan.htm)

Then pulling the old 20e and get the 18det rockin nicely before a bigger turbo and tune. Suspension comes next, then who knows.

Edit: Im dumb

What’s an S13 200SX? Did the 80’s 200SX share a platform with the 240SX of the late 80’s, early 90’s?
