Since this engine is the only 4 cylinder rear wheel drive turbo that Nissan sent here (I think).  Coming out of a S12, it seems like this could easily be possible.  And i like the idea of part availability through US dealers.  If this has been talked about alot, sorry.  Please give me some feedback.  thanks!

Never mind, I just did a little google research.  120HP?  Moderator can end this one anytime.

go for the CA18DET.. 175hp, 8k redline (9k with balanced bottom end + pistons).. drops in easier than a SR. it wouldn't be 'authentic' to your car, but an SR wouldn't either technically.
