The S13 range started as early as 1989. During late 1991, the S13 range changed the front bumper styling to reflect a more contemporary look. Also added, was a newly styled set of alloys rims. All cars produced after these periods were fitted with larger front brakes and pads.
It was also at this face-lift period of time that the Nissan engineers reckoned the presence of oil cooler would benefit the turbo-charged engine and designed an tiny odd looking oil cooler and combined it as part of the oil filter housing. Most may not see this as it was hidden down there close to the engine oil sensor.
Nissan Japan's first S13 200SX was powered by a CA18DET engine; a water-cooled Garrett T25 single turbocharged, air-to-air side mount intercooler, DOHC, and coupled with 16-valve in total. Induction air would be drawn pass an airflow meter, where the mixture will be sparked with direct-fire ignition in an 1809cc inline four cylinders under the compression ratio of 8.5:1.
With two cams which act directly on the top of the 8 lobes valves for each cam, the CA18 DET 16 valve twin cam cross flow head, mini-butterfly plate and direct spark plug mounted coils was a highly engineered motor which won numerous awards during its production times.
Sadly, it was these attributes that eventually lead to its demise. The engine block was build with cast iron and practically bullet proof and was a costly motor to produced with too many parts involving high production costs.
The CA18DET twin-cam turbo had a Japanese quoted peak output of 130kW at 6400 rpm and 225Nm of torque at 4000 rpm.
