Question for Oz members..1.8 Nissan Turbo

[Niki Albury]

SORRY but I must dissagree.......
A 108Kw version did come out in a FWD ......Auster 1800Xtt and had a 5
speed box but no intercooler.
in the RWD the CA18-DET the intercooled version is a 130Kw and the non
intercooled is a 108Kw.  The intercooled version intake is different to
the non intercooled as the non intercooled t/bodie faces over the rocker
cover and the intercooled version points to the front of the engine.

Im in the process of fitting a CA18-DET (with intercooler) to my
Nissan/Datsun 1200 Ute and had to do a little homework first.

I hope this helps
