Sil-Eighty just refers to the JDM hatchback (180SX) with the front end off of the JDM coupe (Silvia), er go Sil-Eighty.  supposedly, this was a cheaper way to replace the 180SX front ends, which cost more than a Silvia front end.

the JDM 180SX does have an SR20, but depending on the trim, it either has the SR20DE (N/A) or the SR20DET (Turbo).  same as the JDM Silvia.  originally, it came with the CA18DE (N/A), or CA18DET, hence the 180SX.  stateside, we get the KA24DE, hence the 240SX.

they are both the same chassis (S13), so parts should be the same.
