JDM 180SX update * pics*
Tuesday, October 10, 2006 8:46 AM
She is finally here. I am in love and amazed at the condition. If it wasn't for those pricks that ripped the spoiler off she would need nothing. The mechanic that did the MVI was simply amazed as well, he just stood there under the hoist saying " i can't believe this is an 89, it looks like it just came off the assembly line."

ENJOY:
Remember this is the 1st time i have seen her in person and she hasn't been washed yet.








This pic doesn't even do it justice. Stock exhaust.











STOCK floor mats :ahh

Very nice I would suggest just having the spoiler mounts removed. The cheesy rubber/foam spoiler that comes on those cars hold water and cause the hatch to rust out. My buddy has the same car and his hatch is trashed from the spoiler

It's an SR right? Hope it's not a CA and if so I'd trash that motor within .2millisecs


N2O + Bolt-ons = 220Hp/250Tq

Yeah it's a CA and why would i trash a motor with 30K miles on it? It's an awsome engine, a lot of potential, and comes pre-boosted.

180SX = CA18DET

It's pretty stout out of the box, and is built at least as well as the SR series. Try killing one of those (Stock) and you'll get a surprise, if you crank up the boost and don't spool up fuel delivery, you're stupid... no matter what engine you have..

It has an SR20DET. Basically it's one of the best 4cyl engines never sold Stateside. And if he's lucky, it might even have a limited slip.

No, it's not an SR20DET, its a CA18DET. Silvia S13/S14/S15's had SR20DETs, the 180SX has less displacement, but as I remember (I may be wrong on this, so please correct me if I am) the CA18 is a lighter block.

Either way, it's going to be a fun macheen .

Ah, yes. You'd unfortunately be correct on that one. Sorry, cracked open a bottle Absinthe tonight and I'm a little... off.

Actually Matt, the 180SX was produced alongside the Silva from 89 on, and has always used the same chasis. The CA was in 89-90 and then was switched over to the SR20 in 1991, because is is cheaper to produce and is more powerful in stock form. Even though the displacement changed from 1.8 nto 2.0L the namplate 180SX stayed the same in JP. In europe though it was called a 200SX.

Yes the Ca is lighter (44lbs) than the SR20, and has a cast iron block and a better head design (8vs 4 port)
