Quick update on the interior...just got my seats back from the upholstery shop - can you believe the made the coupe seat covers fit on the sport coupe seats as well as recover the back seat for all less than $200?
looking good. i cant wait to see some pics of the burn outs!
Speaking of that, I wonder what parts make the transmission a limited slip...I could probably order them from this discount nissan dealer...that'd sure make for a lot better acceleration...
Hey I still got the AWD Trans that came with the Ca18det, it looks like a lot of the parts are interchangable with my Pulsar trans (cept the AWD part) - wonder if the FWD section of it is limited slip...
Engine looks like a TIGHT fit. I want to end up doing an engine swap inmy Sentra. I want to do a straight swap with no BS conversions. A little more power would be nice, but not a whole lot. Any suggestions for doing it on the cheap would be good. Gonna start Inch or a little more. Not trying to snag yer thread man, jus thopefully add to it.
If you want cheap go for a stock ca18de or ca18det.
Go to oem-surplus.com and snag you a ca18det wiring harness, get the engine and body. I can give you my notes on wiring it in.
Like I said leave it stock if your going cheap. Don't cut corners on cost if your going to try to increase it's power.
Mine is going to be a daily driver so only the intake and exhaust are different than factory.
I'm having a problem getting it running though, I tested compression yesterday and it all above 107 psi. But it seems I'm only getting gas on cylinder #1, after cranking it for about 20 seconds i could tell with a flashlight that the pistons were solid dry. And only a mist of gas was coming from cylinder 1 as it cranked. I'm going to check with a fuel pressure guage today to see if the fuel pump is putting out enough psi. Any clue which fuel is in the input and output on the ca18det? Would this matter if they were backwards?

Just a quick update. My time has been short to work on the car lately and I'm having a few engine issues hopefully the mechanic can get figured out because I'm just not getting it right...
Here is a couple of pics of me trying out the fit of some parts on the car - specifically the ground effects and front facia.
