Hi I'm thinking it might be time for a littel more power from my old sierra it's a 2.0 dohc at the moment runs well but takes it's time getting upto speed but will do it anyway I saw a sierra with a Nissan 200sx engine in apparently it went straght in I like this engine also as it's a turbo and supposed to be verry good to tune as anyone done it before what parts would I need from a Nissan and is there any where that could do or supplie a loom to fit the sierra thanks

I'd go for the twin cam 1800 (CA18DET) rather than the single cam CA18ET - lots more power, (although either would be an improvement on the Ford DOHC) but a bit wider obviously. Either use the Nissan ECU and loom or better still an aftermarket programmable unit. There's only a few wires needed (they're not particularly modern). The Nissan gearbox is a solid unit and Scimitar's run them with Sierra 3.92 or 3.62 7" diffs.

Twin cam turbo from a 200SX will be the CA18DET (CA family, 1809cc, Double (twin) cam, Electronic multiport fuel injection, Turbo).
I don't want to sound negative, just realistic - There may be no body mods needed but you'll certainly need a prop made, engine and gearbox mounts making/modifying, exhaust fabricated, clutch cable, speedo cable, throttle linkage and of course the loom. I doubt any of that will be available off the shelf. If you have the skill, will to learn or deep pockets it would be a great conversion!

I have a friend who has a 3door with a SR20 in it. As far as I can remember it was far from a direct bolt in conversion.
B204 would be interesting.

Yep, I automatically thought S12 - but I think only the S13 (originally with the CA18DET but then the bigger SR20DET) & S14 were actually badged 200SX in Europe? |
