a$$ed-out of CA18DET motors?

[boost_boy]

As of today, there are only 2 engines left and they have owners and destinations. One is getting the full maintenance package to include new rings, rod bearings, head gasket, rod bolts, timing belt, and new water pump. The other is getting a super upgraded hybrid T25 (one of my old specialties) that will support about 300hp.

But the main purpose of this post is to inform all potential buyers that the only motors heading this way will be automatics (at least from my main supplier) and all others won't be here for a while (2 months). While most people prefer the manuals, the automatics are the better engines in terms of abuse and maintenance. So far I only ordered one to be brought in for my full sylvia conversion-based convertible S13 that I will be tricking out.

I'm not trying to pedal these motors off in place of the manuals, but they are not subject to the abuses of the manuals either. So I would say to the board members and all newbies, you can either be patient and wait for an engine from me or talk to pulsar gtr or take your chances on ebay when they become available.

Between 2 importers over 15 motors have been ordered, but I won't take another quarter from anyone until the engines are sitting in their warehouses waiting to be inspected. Any questions, feel free to respond here in the forums as we are kind of a family here and I don't want anyone to be in the dark.

I'll say this and I'll leave it at that, don't buy a motor off ebay because of its availability. Make sure you thoroughly investigate whom you're dealing with or contact me for assistance and questions.

just a little FYI for anyone who might be discouraged by the auto motor thing: Venus sent me an auto motor, and it took me all of about 10 minutes and $8 to make it a manual. You just tap out the pilot converter with a slide hammer, and tap in the $8 pilot bushing with a rubber mallet. done.

and pulsar gtr has a manual transmission for sale, which would get you to having a 5spd pretty quickly id think. and the motor aould probably be in great shape.

are these motors rear wheel of front wheel drive?

[boost_boy]

They are RWD! Which do you need? RWD or FWD because I do have an FWD motor stored for myself.

any chance in you parting you that 300hp super hybrid turbo thingy? I even have a stock (VERY low mileage) SR T25 I could offer with the money:) email me about it Dee...

I'd like something slightly better than what I have, but don't wanna drop $450-500 on an s14/s15 T28:(

Roughly how much would these motors go for?

I paid $475 for mine and it will out perform a T28 with no problem. The more interested the merrier. I'll rap with my rebuilder tomorrow to see if he'll cut some huss on the cost.

Dee

[NeedCAforS13]

$475 plus the turbo he modifies, or just $475 total?

Sean

[davidr]

fwd is what i need but i still have to wait for my financial situation to get better are you still taking deposits ? if so how much?

[minutericesentra]

davidr, what kind of car you got?

[NeedCAforS13]

I'll just come make a trip down there to chill some weekend... maybe I'll have the car running by spring break, which would be fun! The pile of parts in my garage just keeps building:) Gonna go up to Central Auto Parts and get my gaskets this weekend (Paul got his there afew years ago, I hope they still carry them, unlike stupid Nissan:mad: )

just a 92 4dr sentra with some rims i got from a 02 ser the rims where cheap thats why i got them.

[boost_boy]

Keep in mind, this is just for the engine. These things rarely come with a wiring haness or computer. But if you need a computer, let me know it won't be stock though.

easier said than done i just need to get $650 now as soon as i can get it to you i will but with the way work is going right know money is tight and it might take a while damn i feel poor:)

This is my personal back-up engine for my g/f's car and after 3 years, we haven't touched it. It's in storage, so let me know when you're ready.

[davidr]

thanks i will let you know when my money comes in. i think its time my kids went out and got jobs so they can help their dad by parts for his cars.

That's cool, I've never seen a CA in a B13.

Maybe if I'd gotten an auto from Dee instead of a manual from Venus I wouldn't have to be saving for a bottom end rebuild instead of saving for an equal length turbo mani....

Thats messed up sean!!!! You wouldn't even come down to kick it with D and I when I was down there!! OK its alright, I see how it is.......LOL

[float_6969]

Yea, Sean is kinda of a jerk like that JK man, you know we love ya! (in a non-homosexual kinda way)

[NeedCAforS13]

<-- 19 years old...lol, I couldn't get into any of the bars or clubs you guys were at anyways:(

and thanks Ryan, Much love to all my CA brothers too...in a strictly non-homosexual way of course:pface

Sean

[r34 gtr]

if this $475 thingy requires a turbo to build it from, what kind would i need to send down to ya? would the ca unit work? and if i dont need to send a core, count me in!

float, what exactly happened again? i vaguely remember, but wouldnt new rings/bearings/gaskets work? or do you really need a whole new bottom end? i wouldnt think youd need to replace all that stuff unless it threw a rod. even if you melted a piston, youd probably have 3 that were alright, and in the worst case you could probably recycle at least some of the rods. if you need internals you could always buy one of those crappy looking 1st gen CAs off ebay. or am i missing the big picture?

Well it rained all weekend here and I wasnt about to embark on a long trip to Miami on bald tires :-(

[MasterMan]

hey man im in melbourne florida and i got in a wreck that wasnt my fault, anyways im gonna have some money coming my way soon and i accully was thinking about and auto just because it shifts better and provides more constent boost, anyways i was wondering what the price would be on an auto SR redtop or black top it dosnt matter cheaper the better, also i dont really wanna have to rebuild the transmission so is there any way to know if im getting a motor with a good transmission or not?

thanks, Tyler[email protected]

[boost_boy]

Hey Tyler,

If I'm not mistaken, you may be able to get a complete SR set for around $1500-$1600, but I'll have to make sure that my guesstimate is correct.

Dee

[float_6969]

Tim - It just needs rings. So I'll have to replace the rod bearings, rings, and head gasket for sure. But if I'm going to go that far into it, I'm going to replace all the bearings, oil pump, crank sprocket, strengthen stock rods (shot peen & cryotreat), forged pistons, rings, headgasket, head studs, and rod bolts. That way I shouldn't EVER have to take it apart again. Unless I kill it...
