your 180sx will just be slower with a rb25 than putting a CA18DET or SR20DET,

anything else ?

I have come across a couple 180's with rb and the only thing(s) you might run into is the fact that it might not handle all too well meaning no taking corners at high speeds because the only way you may survive it is by powering it out. The other thing was cooling problems due to the space, but if you are will to spend your money , you will not really have that problem. hell I'm thinking of doing the same thing to a 180 I'm buying so let's hope for the best!!! Prentice from Peak Performance did one with a rb25 and he got it to the 500 horse power ranger so who knows.

I think SR would be the best bet... Parts wise...

also I got a padna with a S13 Silvia with a RB20DET and he is seeing cooling problems from day one.. My cuz had a 180 with a RB25DET cooling problems again... ( end up gettin fustrated and selling the car)

I have a 180 with a CA18 DET but I goin Sr20 det black top ( S13)

if you wanna get crazy, slap a vg30 in there...that'll suprise the sheit out of alot of peeps...small mods getting you enough whp adn torque to rag doll the car around on call. just deal with suitable brakes and suspension first for such a build

Hi we do these swaps here all the time, great idea and with the correct suspension setup handling is not a problem. I would suggest a good set of coilovers with camber plates if you don't already have it. Negitive camber will be your best friend!!!! to dial out understeer!!!! Just watch out for inner tirewear. :mrgreen:

Damn that's close.

What can onedo to clean the oxidised cam-shaft covers? Have a friend with a similar issue.

It's not actually, the camera angle is deceptive. I'm not sure what was used on this one but I've used a very soft metal cup-brush.
Here is another in a S13(180)
