Nissan 180sx Engine Guide
‘180SX? Wtf does that mean? - a 1.8?’ <– If you have been asked this question before and you haven’t had a clue what to say then check the stats and photos on this 180SX engine guide and become enlightened…
The Nissan 180SX was home to three different engines over its lifetime. The name 180SX was originally in reference to the 1.8 liter displacement CA18DET engine used in the chassis. In 1991, however, the engine was upgraded to a 2.0 liter model, offered in two forms: the naturally aspirated SR20DE engine and the turbocharged SR20DET variant. Although the new engine was of larger displacement, the 180SX nomenclature remained.
