CA18DET Engine and Transmission for Sale
If you’re searching for a reliable CA18DET engine and transmission for sale, you’ve found one of the most trusted sources for quality imported Nissan powertrains. At Darlton Car Auto Parts, we supply complete tested CA18DET engine and gearbox packages ready for installation in your Nissan project, replacement vehicle, or performance build.
The legendary Nissan CA18DET remains one of the most respected turbocharged four-cylinder engines ever produced. Featuring a cast-iron engine block, aluminum DOHC 16-valve cylinder head, electronic fuel injection, and factory turbocharging, the CA18DET earned its reputation for strength, durability, and tuning potential. It was produced from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s and became famous in the Nissan Silvia, 180SX, and 200SX. The engine displaces 1.8 liters (1,809 cc) and was factory-rated around 167–175 hp depending on market and model, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission in many applications.
Whether you’re replacing a damaged engine or restoring a classic Nissan, purchasing a complete engine and transmission package saves installation time and ensures compatibility. Every complete package includes carefully inspected components designed to provide dependable performance.
Buy a Complete CA18DET Engine and Gearbox with Confidence
