CA20E / CA18E (SOHC) Fuel Hacks
Aftermarket Fuel Pressure modifcations.
Fuel rail modification for both CA18 and CA20 SOHC
Tools Required,
2x 6AN Female to 5/16th barb hose fitting straight swivel,
2x –6AN Male to 5/16 Hardline tube Fuel Fitting compression adapter
1x Mini Steel Tube cutter
First you want to cut off the old fuel pressure regulator, you have to cut the pipe and the original
mounting point for the fuel rail. That should be the bottom rail remember that spot for that will be the spot for the fuel pressure regulator to connect to. (universal)
Top one is easy to cut and apply the AN fitting.
Install rail as you would, fit the holes. The fuel pressure regulator check the FSM for the correct fuel pressure. Mine is setting at 37psi before fire on a ca20e. You can also retro fit an VG30e rpg, just plug one of the feeds.
Fuel Sending unit for all 200sx s12 nissan cars.
Parts needed:
M5 Rubber Well Nuts Brass
M5 Bolts, nuts, lockwashers.
16-18Guage wiring, O ring tips,
Removing each original cap, requires a flat head screw driver, a hammer.
M5 rubber well’s will be slightly bigger than the holes when you have break these out, I recommend to do 1 at a time or label each wire as the 2 yellows are same and they have to match the harness or you will get an incorrect reading with fuel levels. Red is fuel pump power, black is fuel pump ground.

It starts! a new begining.
Nothing like hearing the motor starting up after sleeping for so many years.
But, transmission I have selected the wrong one as the shaft is sieged and is unable to turn and stops the motor when I let good of the clutch, but she is now becoming to what she was once before and in a better motor setup as well.
est as per last owner over 400whp motor. CA18DET.
Hopefully I’ll get the transmission swapped out and it moving a bit more.
Other plans is I am working on building an Air To Liquid cooler for the innercooler setup and she needs a new battery.

Project: Fairlady Silvia – is now gone full CA18DET
The project vg30de conversion was a bust, as I grown tired of hacking the ignition just to get it to work with Megasquirt 3.0. Seems that finding related parts and harnesses is alot harder than it used to be. j30 is not wired the same way as the z32 is there for I couldn’t use the harness and I’ve been running into odb2 at the yard.
So instead of spending another 1k or even more just to convert the ignition switch over to an 12+1 setup.
I decided to finally remove the whole V6 concept that it came with and go the ca18det route anyways.
vg30 single over head cams version is not much of a dime a dozen anymore in the yards. I even thought about doing the whole vg34s setup. In the end I have this setup, it was the motor I purchased in 2015ish I wanted to run it and so on so here it is. This is more worth the investment and in the future upgrade to an sr20det.

200sx SEv6 – Heart Transplant update
Welcome, I am going to try to add more to this entry.
Megasquirt 3 / 3x installed and tested so far. Now
I finally went megasquirt to eliminate any future problems with this car and it’s wiring.
Troubleshooting other various problems internally including the tail lights stuck on potentially a broken headlight switch. (known problem with these cars)
Tuning and learning Tunrerstudio is happening now and will update more on this progress.
Also exhaust found a great and in-expensive solution to my problem.
