After a month and a half.. behold..

[RB20DETodd]

yea, where I ordered my CA from, rb20s were 1100 as well

, sorry, not trying to start somthing, why you must have some serious ca love!

[asher4857]

^^ i love my ca.. its the most fun ive had in my 240..

[RB20DETodd]

^^ i love my ca.. its the most fun ive had in my 240..

Sadly ive never seen a ca in person or heard one, but i heard a sound clip and they sound pretty cool 4 a 4 banger. alot better than a sr, that motor is annoying.

[anumeric]

i already did the "brown-wire" sleepy eye mod.. got tired of it after a few weeks... what do you mean 4x4..?

I believe he is talking about the suspension. correct me if im wrong.

[Leash]

Beautiful CA swap.

I'm still a ways from getting a hold of one myself

[Rookieca18det]

The swap came out real good, glad to see one more running CA. That ssac front mount kit seems like a pretty good deal, if I build another ca/240 I might get one of those. Dont be shy post some more pics and vids if possible. Will look even nicer once it is lowered.

[asher4857]

hahah, would look nicer with some wheels.. but yea, we took a little mroe detailed engine shots the other day, ill see if i can get anumeric to post them we also took a vid so.. once again well see

[hannibal]

I was referring to the RB25/26. Not trying to diss the other motors, just saying that most folks dont recognize the CA's value/potential.

But very nice swap. I'm sure the summer will be a blast!

Got the video and pictures? Diffently excited to watch a video of a CA18DET. By they way can you tell me where you bought your CA18DET? Im resarching and finding the bests place to get the engines even if it cost a little extra. Thanks and keep us updated with the engine

[asher4857]

yea, the videos and pics.. forgot about that, ill talk to anumeric tonight and see whats up..

i got my engine from japanesestarmotor.com or something like that.. google japan star motors.. itll come up.. they have cas for 1100 shipped anywhere basically..

[D*star]

Awesome work man...Congratulations...I heart CA swaps..Yours is clean....Put a lip on your pignose..

Pinose Nation!!!

[PantherRacer]

japanesestarmotor.com is the correct addy. don't doubt your memory man it's good

[mrzabala]

I have that website: http://www.japanesestarmotor.c....html Their CA engines cost $1250. Must have rised the prices? Or maybe thats the with shipping included? Anyways looking foward to see how a CA18DET runs done from a local with a couple friends. Thanks.

[bribot]

awesome job!! now all you need is suspension and brakes to match the power and your set...

[asher4857]

hahah, im looking into brakes right now.. suspension is gonna be a little bit hard.. im not really doing anything with it right now so that can wait

as far as the price, your right, i keep getting all the prices confused, its 1250 shipped.. the 1100 was from another place but that wasnt including shipping.. japanesestarmotors hooked me up... they didnt pack the drop resister and the mafs wire was cut, i called them, and they shipped it next day, deffinatly get my thumbs up..

[240sxbobbis]

i wish mine would run

[240sxbobbis]

have fun

[lrb_2000]

nice..

but be careful, don't want to rev it too high.. 3k is pushing it :P.. i wnated to hear some bov action.

[asher4857]

hahaha, not sure if that 3k comment was sarcasm or not

as for BOV action.. CAs dont come stock with one.. and i havent found one i can recirc quite yet so... wastegate flutter is good enough for now..

[mrzabala]

I guess he stated that since it hasnt been too long since you had the motor running in the car? Probably need to break it in before going above 3000. I do hear when you rev it high that it makes a weird noise like a sasasasasshhsshhh. Maybe something is lose? Check at 25 seconds.

thats the wastegate

[mrzabala]

OOOOO lol thanks for the clear up. See I really havent heard a wastegate before. You- -Me Is the idle suppose to be around 800? I thought stock was at 700-750?

[asher4857]

i believe its actually 850 give or take 100... but yea.. the fluttering sound is the wastegate.. music to my ears.. havent used my cd player since i got the motor running.. lol

[180sx+silvia=sileighty]

Wow i wish could get a CA. Soon enough soon enough

[SeVa-S13]

The watsegate ain't doin' sh1t when revving in neutral; sounds more like compressor surge. Do you hear that noise when you shift under boost?

[asher4857]

blake, according to wei, you are right, that is compressor surge, he says it sounds like muffled waste gate which it does.. so yea..

but no.. it is the wastegate that goes off when i shift

[s13swaaangin]

You have the same wheels I do.....son of a B*&%H!!!!

[hek1620]

nice job man! now paint that intercooler black! sleeper style. thats how i have mine. it comes in handy when sneaking up on people at night. until the open dump screams in their ear.
