Info On Ca18Det Turbo Wanted

Recommended Posts

I've bought a 180SX & the turbo is fried (oil line blocked, lack of service, etc?) so in replacing the Turbo I'm worried about spending the $$ on a replacement Turbo unit if the rest of the engine (161Klm's) is on the way out. I've got the old Turbo off (2.2hours its cactus, like my fingers) and would like to know if Attessa Bluebird CA18DET Turbo or indeed a Pulsar CA18DET would bolt straight on - or another mebee?

Would be a shame to do all the work and then have to go and buy an engine & turbo all over again.

Engine ran coming home but rattled like something else (turbo shaft 8-10mm sideplay-wow!!) but was smooth with no boost and tons of whitish/blueish smoke.

http://www.ca18det.net states;

CA18DET was used in the following vehicles:

• 1987-1988 Silvia S12RS-X

• 1989-1990 Nissan Silvia/180SX S13 (International market) . . . this is mine

• 1987-1989 Nissan Bluebird RNU12 SSS ATTESA Limited (Japanese Market) - I've been offered for AUD $150-

• 1989-1993 Nissan 200SX S13-U Europe.

• 1985-1990 Nissan Auster "1.8Xtt" and "Euroform Twincam Turbo"

If you've got some knowledge or a CA18DET Turbo I'd be most happy if you SMS me and I'll ring you back Dave Mob 0400 343301

thanks guys & gals

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • For example, you’ll need this approval if: you’re a car enthusiast looking to import a specialist vehicle or an older car you want to bring your vehicle with you when you move to Australia you manufacture or import special purpose vehicles or a small number of trailers each year.       Tutuapp 9Apps
    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
