I know you’re getting a good laugh out of this 😛 Now let me clarify and take that pleasure away from you, lol… I know about the FJ and the S12, I was just saying how the word JDM would mean that you’re trying to imitate what the car was stock, in Japan. For an S14, that’d be an SR in turbo or N/A form. To say that an SR in an S14 is not JDM is probably the most ignorant statement a person can make. And that’s why I got mad 😃 ---

I may not agree with the overuse of “JDM”, but it definitely isn’t CDM… Anyways, keep it on topic, keep the discussion CA related. ---

Couldn’t agree with you more man, Puttin a JDM CA18DET in an S14 would be hotness… You would be about 15 on the JDM scale from 1 - 10.[/quote] and even if you did that you still wouldn’t be JDM… you know they drive rhd right? ---

Japanese Domestic Market… The fact that the S14 came with the SR20DET makes it fit in pretty much exactly with the definition of the term. And now I know why everyone always makes the jDM tYt3 y0!!! joke here, pretty much everyone throwing the term around is either joking, or a total riceboy.[/quote] Solarian, do you know which car FJ20 came from? Don’t disturb the animals you can’t beat. TekVicious from my understanding lived in Asia and has done an interesting swap or maybe even a few.[/quote] oh yeah where did the FJ20 come from? ---

> [@s14\_2Nv](#): > > imo, an FJ20 swap would be pimp in an s13 or s14. FJ is a good engine, an exellent one but would be stupid unless you have your uncle supplying the parts for it. And even then, you would still need the aftermarket shit to make it go even better ---

Is it true that the FJ20 was meant to be Nissan’s F1 engine or based on the design? ---

YES there were RUMORS that nissan was going to use it on the f1 car 1.5L turbo. That was canned. NIssan was going to use it as they did on rallies and it had very nice successs but it was never backed fully by nissan as they were a engine design whore of the 80’s! ---

In an S13? Considering that both the SR20 and CA18 have been inside an S13, I’d say it would be the same difficulty. Into an S14, I have no idea, probably just as easy. And they’re a lot cheaper to buy than SR. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ca18det-in-s14/82951.md?page=1)
