sick620 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 if someone ordered one of those JDM ca18de setups and tried to put it in a b210 does anyone know the process? Ive searched and it seems doable but cant find info on mounts or oilpan/crossmember clearance etc... are ca18 engines similar to ka24 meaning engine mounts and overall length with longtail tranny? Is this mostly a bolt in swap minus custom drive shaft? Quote Link to comment
afracer Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 What year B210? The CA18DE very closely shares chassis/engine mounting with the SR20, KA, Z, and L series all being very similar. So research all of the above swaps into your B210 to figure what should be done or used to make it close to bolt in. B210s and B310s usually shared crossmembers with different year 510s, so that may be the easiest option depending on if you have a B210 or B310. Quote Link to comment

Tom1200 Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Go to Datsun1200.com and look up CA18 swaps; you'll find lots of formation there. Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 I've actually had a CA18DE in my B210. It will ... "fit" ... using a PL510 engine cross member and 620 mounts. Unfortunately, when using the 510 crossmember as-is, the engine sits too far-forwards several inches. The oxygen sensor on the manifold directly interferes with the steering box too.

mhub91 Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Also, refer to my post here in the B210 section. I provided definitive information on the entire swap process of B210. Quote Link to comment
