| In 1983, Nissan introduced a new sports car. It was known as the Pulsar and it was a small two door Coupe. It used either the E16 or E16S engine, both SOHC. The following year the Pulsar had a third engine option, it was powered by a Turbo engine, the E15ET. |
| After four year with this style, it was time for a change. The body was redesigned in 1987, still offering a two door but it was a hatchback. The new design also offered T-tops for all and a removable hatch. This allowed for the optional Sportbak to be put in place. The new designed Pulsar had two new types of engines available, the E16i, which is a fuel injection version of the E16S, and the new DOHC CA16DE. In 1988, the CA18DE DOHC replaced the CA16DE engine but is basiclly the same, just larger. In 1989, the compression ratio was changed on the CA18DE lowering the hp to just below 100 and also replaced the E16i with the GA16i. After 1990, Nissan canceled the Pulsar and introduced the Sentra NX Coupe in its place. |

| Here is the little information that I know about the CA18DET engine. It was only available in Japan but I am not sure what years. I do know that there were two kinds, one with an intercooler and one without. I also know that the one without the intercooler was available in 87-88, so I'm guessing in 89-90 were the ones with the intercooler. |

| Conversion: |
| The hp is correct, as far as the Torque, I am not for certain but I'm guessing its a close estimate. |
