im also concerned about the turbo, the guy told me that "it looks like" the turbo was taken away (the guy is noob at cars and stuff), so im seeing if a skyline turbo can fit it well

ya ive read , the engine is actually a CA18DET confirmed it has like 68k miles on it, i think they removed the turbo, if so im installing another again, i havent directly seen the car yet, but it will be on the weekend well ty for the feedback guys im waiting for more ^^

If you need to replace the turbo or the turbo manifold, any SR20DET manifold will work, aswell as any stock sr turbo. You can pickup decent SR manifolds and DP's on ebay for like $300. If you decide to go that way, go out and get them ceramic coated right away.

im catually confused between these


and these

both show as 180sx

its different tail light stile or different car?

thouse tail lights are the kouki tail lights, offered on 94+ models of the s13 platform. If you decide to go with thouse tail lights, you have to use a new wiring harness witch you have to cut and splice into the original one, the center peice has to be replaced along with the lock. So you will have 1 key for the igntion and doors and a seperate one for the hatch. easy install to do, i did a set on my buddys 180sx a few weeks ago.

a turbo off a RB26, can bolt up to an OEM manifold, but wont produce too much boost. My buddy tryed it on his KA24DET project. better option is either stock SR20 turbo or a T3. CA18s arent ment to produce big boost as is. They will handel it, but they struggel to make it. If you are just gonna run OEM internals, you probably wouldnt be able to spool any thing bigger than a t3.

The 180sx (s13 hatcback) has 2 different sets of tail lights. The ones that looks the the UDM (the second pic) were made from 1989-1995. Starting in 1996, they switched to the tails in the first pic. As far as which motor came in the 180sx, in 1989-90 there was the CA18DET making ~175HP and then in 91 the put the SR20DET redtop making ~205HP. The 96 and newer 180SX came with the SR20DET blacktop which still made the same HP.

sil80 are so nice. I have like 2 or 3 sil80 built in my car game.

i say go with the sil80. I'll probably have more fun with that car and it also has good aftermarket support too.
