Engine conversion

Hey,
I just want some people's thoughts on this, as my friend and I have been talking about it, and can get a half-cut pretty cheap.

Take an SR20DET engine (that's a Nissan 2L turbo out of a 180SX) and drop it into a TE. Anyone seen this done or even done it (or similar, say a CA18DET).

Its gotta be super sweet.

i'm planning on doing it actually. so i'll second that post. gonna get a bigger turbo though and hi-flow it. get it bored to 2.2L, 45mm wastegate, blow-off valve and dual stage in cabin boost controller. you know, all the essentials. plus maybe some custom extractors if it's practical. cold air intake. yeah - all the necessities. so get back so we can figure out if it can be done and how difficult it is.

cheers

can you bore a ca18det to 2.2L? if it starts at 130kw - what would it end up (approx) after this was done?
