Look best bet is sell the n/a and buy a turbo if thats what u want. Do not turbo a n/a engine its not worth it. The turbo car has better brakes and drivetrain so thats my answer.

Where did you get the engine from UNF41R?

QIK180, is it ok just to buy a CA18DET or SR20DET? since I don't think my parents will be happy with me to sell and buy another car.

Yeah, but you will need to upgrade brakes diff and maybe gaerbox among other things. You will need the turbo ecu aswell.

Ummm, from memory it came from adelaide, urm, not JMS, the other guys...

like "adelaide jap" or something?

This was over a year ago now though.

Useless fact of the day: To source a replacement new s14 engine and turbo from nissan australia will cost $14,000 (no typo).

If you are looking to get a new engine into the same car.... RB20 R32 GTS-t front cut... better brakes, good engine, etc (but would need aftermarket ECU)

OR 180 front cut, with ECU, bigger brakes, turbo engine... and all the body parts required to make a onevia (the best nissan mix'n'match IMHO)

if youre doing the conversion yourself,
the quickest and most effective path to power is to buy a CA18DET block with turbo and ECU. the box should have no problem bolting up (but then again im no expert on CA's but pretty sure)
you wont need engine mounts
you wont need too many extra computer connections thus the wiring looms etc can stay untouched.
and generally everything will be more compatible.
im not sure how serious you are but an RB conversion of any sort is alot of work.
and you should do a brake upgrade.
and of course a cooler, maybe the fuel pump from the turbo car as well.

Have a look at the thread posted by KosS it has a S14 with burnt ass end going for auction, I presume the front of it is still in good nick.
You might get a steal from one of those auction houses.
