Nissan SR20 & CA18 turbo conversions
Here are two conversions we have carried out on MK1s. These two engines are found in the popular S13 and S14 Silvia's. You can get these engines in other Nissan cars but are sometimes FWD version and non turbo, although we have fitted N/A versions to MK1s also. If you are considering a conversion you may want to budget in a diff change as well. Standard Cortina diff's are not up to the extra power. Here you can find an example of the diff we use in this situation. A list of other engine swaps can be found on our tech page.

Cortina MK1 Rotary conversion here.
Escort Mk1 CA18 turbo conversion here.
Escort Mk1 BP Mazda- Ford 1800 DOHC conversion here.

For other conversions (including V8s) please visit our Cortina forum HERE!
