My mate has just said to me if i help him swap the knackard 200SX engine for this new 1 he has bourght i can keep the old 1. I think the crank bearing has gone. but that shouldn;t be a problem. Has any 1 fitted 1 of these engines? to a locost? any comments? also last night i removed the pistons from my front serria calipers and i need new dust seals any idea where i can some seals from? thanks
Is the 1.8 (CA18DET) or 2.0 (SR20DET)?
I believe "jon_boy" or similar has does this (recognise the name from SXOC).
Out of interest I need some new rear calliper piston dust seals. Can you get these and easy to fit or is it cheaper / easier to just swap them out
for some recon ones?

the SR20 is a good engine choice but you really need to look for a full package from fan to prop shaft as the RWD gear boxes are the rare part
(especially the 6 speed) . They are a fairly straight forward rebuild if needed but have extremely tight tolerences. The CA18 in the older silvias on
the other hand can get very expensive very quickly.
as far as fitting it goes....much the same size and weight as a Pinto 2lt for the engine so may need a bulged bonnet. the gearbox is a bit larger but
if you are carefull with the positioning it should all fit.

hey i gave up on the calipers. i just got some recon units from mac 1. trying to put the pistons in with a G clamp was a pain in the bum and i gave
up. We are swapping the CA18DET's next saturday my mates blow his up which im having and he has bourght a donor car with a rebuilt engine in. Im
thinkin about a mega squirt ECU coz Mac 1 said i wouldn;t be able to use the nissan ECU unless i played with it quite a bit. for your seals try brakes
international or summat search for brakes int on google
