Does anyone out thear know how hard it would be to install a z18 turbo engine into a 1200 coupe as it look's like it would fit easaly. my car already has skyline 10in disks on it
and 180b drums on the back

Why the Z18? I would go a CA18 for sure. Z18 are still based on the old L series engines. Z18 has 101kw and the CA has 130kw. I know someone with a homepage on how to put a CA18 in
a 1200 but no Z18 1200s.

Davo

The z18 engine only needs a fuel only computer to run and is a lot easer to install into a 1200 transmition tunnal. but mostly this being new zealand i do not have to re-register the car
for the new motor, only have it jam it in and start driving. the ca18 on the other hand is a much better engine but it uses 4 coils and a more comples computer it also would require an
enginer to check it over ie. $$$$.
a big intercooler and a 2.5in pipe of the turbo with one resnerator shoult be faster enoth for street use.

Sounds like a difficult job, but hey, jump on it, take your camera with you and document the whole procedure and put up a detailed website about it.. :) Is that engine going to
bolt directly up to the stock tranny or were you going to get a different one? Should be cool when it's done.. :) Good luck.

no i will use the z18 5 speed as it is stronger that the 1200 box, I have a bad habet of doing burnouts and i have 4 dead 120y 4 speed gearboxes under the house. so the z18 box will
be much beter

Heheh, Didn't realize the z18 was still rear wheel drive.. :) Yeah, I've just about gone through my first 4 speed.. You'd almost think it was a defective
design.. ;> hehe..

What year and model Datsun did the Z-18 Turbo engine originally come in? My guess is that it wasn't offered in the US just as the CA18DET among MANY others that weren't
brought over. I'm looking for some kind of Nissan Fuel Injected Turbo engine swap to try in a couple years.

if a 120y is the same i should be able to get any info u need, let me
know!
