Leadpaw Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hey I joined this forum to message and buy icehouse for one of his super awesome power boxes, figured i might as well post my project. 1985 nissan sentra Ca18de still a work in progress, gotta clean things up, change the fuel system and wire. Old front shot: how it looks today, with weds Autobahn mesh wheels. Was once diesel powered (please dont kill me for altering it xD), but the diesel engine was extremely worn out. 3 Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 A B11 fitted with a CA16DE? Now i've seen everything. If you keep it revved up, it will make considerably more power than the OHC 1.5 liter stocker. Quote Link to comment

CA18DE! used to have a CD17 diesel engine in it before, its gonna be much quicker :cool: Quote Link to comment
Wide14u Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 you have to make some video once you get it going Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Ah, a 1.8 liter, that's awesome. CA18DE is probably the best engine nissan ever made, that or the RB straight six. You'll now be able to spin one front tire on demand... 1 Quote Link to comment
Leadpaw Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Finished! july 27th 2011, thanks to icehouse and his cool powerbox it simplified the process so much. already put 8000 miles on it and it runs perfect. 0-60 measures in the low 7s to high 6s. video of the first time it started, no exhaust, timing way off, and no airfilter xD may post a better video later.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecsjEU5EWf0 Quote Link to comment

521chowda Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I've been wanting a fwd nissan for a while, now I know what to get, very cool. :cool: Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Did you get the engine from this? 1988-1989 KN13 Nissan Pulsar NX SE CA18DE Or from a 'used japan engine' place? Quote Link to comment
Leadpaw Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I got the motor off of an online seller it was somewhat of a gamble on my part. The motor came from a jdm u12 bluebird atessa. The kn13 version differs externally, the intake manifolds are different, the kn oil pan is lower profile , the exhaust manifolds differ and the valve covers have breathers in different places. Though I did use the wiring harness (some rearranging requires) and transmission from a kn13 pulsar. Quote Link to comment

findmuck Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Clean sentra, i really like it ! Its nice to see another sentra owner, ive been on here for almost an hour and you're the only sentra owner ive found! Quote Link to comment
Leadpaw Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks!. Heres a random update. It now has koni adjustable shocks, tomei poncams, headers, redone exhaust and a bunch of random things xD 1 Quote Link to comment
Leadpaw Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 In preparation of her visit to the new 5 mile long thunderhill later this week, I got some beater O.Z wheels and Hoosier SM6 slicks. Painted then bronzish grey and they look surprisingly sharp. Had to run 25mm spacers in the rear for shock clearance though xD. Expect videos on this heap tearing it up! 2 Quote Link to comment
dawson Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 this sentra is awesome! What do you use for suspension? just springs or it is adjustable coilovers? Quote Link to comment
Leadpaw Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Apparently cusco has begun to give a little aftermarket support to the B11 models. Ordered a strut bar, fit and look are great. Car feels a fair bit more solid, and hard braking is alot less twitchy. Quote Link to comment
dukerollo Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 I got the similar version for my car. I was surprised at the perceived increase in chassis rigidity. Definitely a good upgrade. I dig the Sentra. Keep us updated. Quote Link to comment
dawson Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 this is so awesome, I'm tempted to do an engine swap on mine nearer the end of the year so may need to pick your brains when I do, you running coilovers on this all round I presume? Quote Link to comment
