So far, I see Flash options, Night 7 racing carry the CA18DETs for a good price. Any places in Florida??

venus is probably your best bet:( unfortunatly...

there really are NO good CA importers. Do you go to the Orlando meets anytime? If so, come find me :) you're kevin's friend right?

Dee in Miami has a friend who might be able to get you a CA (the same guy Kev got his engine from) so talk to boost_boy (Dee) or Me or Kevin.

yeah, I'm one of kevins friends, I used to go to the meets way back in the day with him, but got tired of seeing people with their project cars and swaps, so I've just been working and saving for my own project ,What did kevin pay for his?

I gotta friend who sells them for $1700 shipped. Email me if you got question or give me a call. 904-669-1054. I'm getting mine from there, and from what I've heard it's pretty consistent. Also, doesn't enjuku in Orlando sell them, or just SRs? Ask sean (NeedCAforS13) he might now. :D

No, Enjuku told me that "the supply of CA's are almost non-existent, so we no longer have access to them."

Enjuku deals soley with SR's :( I tried to get them to order my CA for me way back when, but they simply couldn't find any! I think Kevin paid about $1700??? for his motorset, with a mine's ecu and stock SR sidemount intercooler(but no piping)...

mulletmt's friend might be a good source especially if you can have him compression test the motor (and take pics for you) to make sure its a good condition motor:)

Also check on the 240sx.org classifieds... there is someone who always has CA motorsets for about $1300 plus shipping, and the pictures are VERY clean looking... I think his name is Karim (he's in California... so about $300 to ship it)?

I got mine from Venus. Not the most awesome in customer service, but I'm driving the car and got it installed and driving in 4 days, so they're not too bad. Now that I've done the swap, I wouldn't get a clip again though...
