  • Nissan engines covered

    The CA18DET is Nissan's twin-cam 16-valve 1.8 turbo of the S13 generation 200SX and 180SX, built from 1988.

    It has 8 exhaust valves, two per cylinder, just upstream of the turbocharger. SUPERTECH offers them with a 28.15 mm head, a 5.95 mm stem and an 89.3 mm overall length.

    SUPERTECH reinforced exhaust valves

    On a naturally aspirated engine, the head of an exhaust valve rises to 760 to 870 °C; on a turbocharged engine like the CA18DET, it passes 1,000 °C. The seat removes about 75 % of it and the guide about 20 %. EV8 family steel, the reference used for the original, drops from 550 MPa at 600 °C to 300 MPa at 800 °C: the overheated head fatigues, distorts and the seal is lost.

    The NEVI-1001-8 is made of Inconel, a nickel-based superalloy that keeps 860 MPa at 732 °C and 554 MPa at 816 °C, about 85 % above EV8 steel around 800 °C; its stem has a chrome coating.

    SUPERTECH supplies it in the engine's standard size, a 28.15 mm head: the exhaust seats keep their diameter.

    Before refitting the cylinder head, check that the collets match the groove of the NEVI-1001-8.

    In standard size, the 8 exhaust seats stay at the original machining diameter.

    The 8 valves of the set share the same 5.95 mm stem and the same 89.3 mm length.

    Don't forget the inlet valves

    An open CA18DET cylinder head is also the time to check the inlet valves and the valve stem seals.
