| Quote, originally posted by slingshot532 » | I am about to do a swap on my 72 510 datsun 4 door. the CA looks like a great motor, turbo, high revs, cheaper than sr20 with better design. but I would like to have my car running by end of summer. the KA is cheaper, easier to install (no turbo-intercooler). what do you think?
|
You've answered your own question! You seem to have a KA on-hand or close by, so go with that due to your time constraint. Dee
Who's selling their CA18 next  ?
Forged pistons are no insurance for ignorance  .
Spending money foolishly doesn't equate to a high hp car  .
Being cheap all the time equates to a waste of time

yeah why not save yourself some trouble and make it wayyyyy easier on yourself and go with the L18......they are great motors....all L series engines are amazing.....im with TMS........yeah you know the ca would be sweet but you cant go wrong with an N/A L- series screaming through the gears......just to let you know i have a 78 280z with an L28 in it and i love the motor and i wouldnt trade it for any other motor....except maybe a Neo rb25de with itbs......but thats a whole different story...
i know that i was born and i know that i will die

update.
I got the new L16 in. it has an electronic distributor, I got that all wired in. I am having trouble with the tranny mount. the previous tranny was a 5 speed from a Z or something so the mount was in a different place. I am working or something temp so I can take it in to have one made. other than that I need fluids, clutch slave bolted on and she will be ready to start.

Yea, let's see some pics!I totally support a built n/a sohc KA, preferably with dual DCOE webbers  . As someone who's swapped a CA into a MGB and who loves the CA I'm telling you, staying n/a will make your life SO much easier.

I got it all done and went to start it but it won't start. I have spark that is timed properly, fuel, I think I have compression(I don't have a Gage). I think the gas is just old. I will try again w/ some fresh gas, And I will post photos of my POS and my POS garage.

and TWICE as boring - lol. Once u taste boost, can u really accept less ? I can't.
I guess since I've done a few turbo fuel injected swaps into old school rides, the wiring & fuel system ain't no big deal CA18 seems like it belongs in a 510.
Lots of nice samples here; http://www.datsun1200.com/modules/news/ I drool over the smoothness, ruggedness, tq and potential of the vg30Et in a street 510 tho. Awesome motors
