Hi Everyone,
I'm kind of new here but I have been reading a lot of the posts and I know
someone out there can help me.

Well, recently I've planted a NISSAN 200SX( CA18DET - Turbo ) engine into my
160J SSS. I really have a hard time looking for technical reference or local
mechanics to help me out.

My first problem is the direct ignition of the CA18DET is not compatible to
my existing tachometer. Upon connecting to the tacho, the meter gives eratic
reading and currently shows that my idling speed is 2100 RPM.

I have no way of checking the timing because there are no sparkplug cables
for a timing light to hookup.

I know the original setup of the 200SX has an intercooler but I purchase the
CA18DET without it. Does it affect the fuel ratio without the intercooler,
'coz the exhaust is depicting a rich tail end.

Can anyone tell me where I could get hold of any repair&service
manuals/books? I tried to access the Nissan Homepage located in Japan but
everything is in Japanese.

See, guys! I'm really need help on my car, but I love this engine 'coz it
gives me such good power and it is running fine right now. Of course I want
to improve wherever possible.

HELP !HELP !HELP !HELP !HELP !HELP !HELP !HELP !HELP !HELP !HELP !HELP !

BEN
