buying a CA

Post by **skoolymarm** » Sat May 29, 2004 10:01 am

i want to buy a ca for my 89 240 but my friends keep telling me to hop on the band wagon and get an SR. i want a ca because it is different and they're kinda hard to come by. does anyone have an idea where i can get one?

http://www.jhotexport.com (got mine from these guys off eBay)http://www.venus-auto.com http://www.jarcoinc.com

That is the same reason that I got a CA. There are 4 SRs local, one KA-T and mabye soon to be another KA-T. Its cool when SR/imoprt guys come over and see my CA in the garage. Most have never seen one and all think that it is cool that I am being different.

I got three of them, full engine + 5spd transmission, ignitor, ecu, drop down resistor pack, full engine harness, ecu, every thing comes with the engine except the maf and the intercooler, I am located in Canada and Will ship to any where in Canada and the US, give me a shout, at [email protected], shipping will take 5 business days to get to you.

All my engines will come with new valve cover gaskets, half moon pieces for the valve cover, oil pan gaskets, front and rear main seals + plus all the tech support that you need

Thanks,

i think CAs are cool especially if I get one I'd be the only one in my city that has one. There is another guy that has an SR and so other fools with KA-T's. Being unique is what its all about.

Quote »Dee and/or pulsar gtr, please contact me.[/quote] Hey man, let me ask you a serious question: Are you putting this motor in a 510? If you are, I'd recommend just getting an engine and transmission and buying a standalone of some sort. The reason why is you're going to have more harness than you have car and a standalone is waaayy cooler than the factory stuff. If you had a standard S13 and just wanted to get started, I would recommend a common engine set with all the fixings. But with a 510, you want this install to be clean, precise and problem free.

Rafi or pulsar_gtr is offering these motors with all of this:

All my engines will come with new valve cover gaskets, half moon pieces for the valve cover, oil pan gaskets, front and rear main seals + plus all the tech support that you need

I don't know and care about what the price is, but that seems like a good deal to me as long as the price isn't too eccentric. It's a lot of labor involved with that and I know it's not for the love of the CA18DET, so expect some extra costs. I can only offer you a good/solid engine set at a decent price with possibly the best price for shipping in the business as some on this forum can testify to.

My friend won't have his engines for at least another week, so if you're in a big rush, it's nice to know that there's more than one member that can assist you with your needs. I'm more into high performance than general maintenance, so I try not to mess with the engines in order for you to see the actual condition of what you're getting. I do however compression and leak down test them and if they're bad, they go nowhere. My friend has never imported a bad motor, so I'm not looking to assist you guys in acquiring one either.

What's in it for me? I get the hook-up on JDM goodies such as steering wheels, seats, mirrors, etc, etc., so you all now know I'm not a salesman, but more of a partial JDM freak. Hope this helps any of you that's interested in getting the hook-up on an engine or some go fast goodies.

Sorry about the e-mail slip-up, it's [email protected] .

Yes, it will be going into the 510. I've already picked up a CA18ET transmission, so the electricals and motor are what's left. I planned on using the factory computer and ROMeditor, so I know little if any about available and user-friendly standalones for a reasonable price. Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated. Would the motor come with all necessary sensors and such?

I'm going to be living in orlando soon, dont be too surprised it it disappears, and magically reappears on my car. Just chalk it up to voodoo. Thanks in advance for no hard feelings.

Oh yes and in response to skooly's original post. I bought an engine from pulsar_gtr and I highly recommend buying from him, he is a great guy and has been helping me out at every corner. Great guy to work with, and great guy to talk to. Oh and if you go SR you'll have to hang out in the SR forums and everyone knows how bad that can be, meanwhile if you buy a CA you get to hang with the cool crowd.

From just personal experience I've gathered that the majority of CA owners do their homework, which makes me proud to say im part of the community because I dont have a bunch of idiots doing the swap. All the idiots are spending 1000+$ for a 30 more HP motorwhen it has nearly no more potential.

I got my complete motorset for $800 thats everything i need to do the swap, transmission, ecu, harness, clutch blah blah blah.
