Does anybody know of any good websites other than Nismoparts.com that cover aftermarket parts for a Datsun 200SX S12 CA20E engine? Also, does anybody know if I can use parts from a CA18 or CA16 on the engine, since they are in the same engine series? I would love to be able to put a CA18 DOHC cylinder head on the CA20 engine block, if that is possible.
What find of aftermarket parts are you looking for?
As for the DOHC conversion, yes the head bolts up with out problems, but there still the issue of the timing belt as the CA20's deck height is about 18MM (I think) higher than the 16/18DE, so a custom timing belt would be needed.
Custom timing belt would not be a problem. I was looking specifically for better fuel injectors, valves, pistons, and crankshaft. I have a CA18DE laying in the garage I could scavenge for parts, but that engine has not run in about six years, I think.
Valves, pistons, and connecting rods would all have to be custom made. The stock crank shaft is about as good as it's going to get, it's already forged.
You can use pretty much any injector you want, but you might need a custom fuel rail depending on which ones you use.

just use the fuel injectors and rail from the ca18det. do a search on the dohc swap, and check out exaclub.com
as for anything just for the ca20e...theres not going to be much out there to find. Most of it is going to be good ole ingenuity and research
