is it just me or does the ca16de look alot like the ca18de?
It's a CA18DE and they can be distinguished by either the tag on top of the intake manifold or the plastic tubing that runs from throttle body to the airbox. The CA16's intake manifold will have the letter's "NICS" or nissan induction control system whereas the CA18DE has "ECCS". The CA16DE's hose from the throttle body to the airbox is rather nice looking and has more sharper turns whereas the CA18's are more round like you see in the picture. Also, the CA16DE uses an external injector resistor similar to the ones found on the GA16i, whereas the CA18DE does not and the picture clearly illustrates that this car does not have one noticeable so it's very safe to say that indeed it's the old CA18DE.
