Here is a list of the engines used in
the Nissan Silvia. From the Z18 found in the 1982 Silvia to the mighty SR20 found in todays Silvia's.
There are two series's of engines that apply to the S13 Silvia and 180SX. They
are the CA18DE(T) and the SR20DE(T). The S12 had a non intercooled version of the CA18DET, it also had a different intake manifold and a host of other older sytle differences and should not be confused with the S13's CA18DET version.
