I have the Cusco STB and was wondering if the ca would hit it.I thought CA's sit lower than KA/SR. Pics with what STB you have or which ones work. my cusco says s13/180sx 89-94. i didnt think that it mattered. This is with my E, which also hits STB on start-up. Loose MM's.

yes it makes a difference, TRUE CA18DET STB have a sharp bend to clear the intake manifold.

I got mine off eBay for about $20 3/4 years ago and used it on my various 240's that I had before I swapped the CA. Then it wouldn't clear. It was shaped like your current one is.

After that it sat around in various places for a couple of years until last week when I got off my butt and borrowed my fiance's Dad's hydraulic press (looks like a car jack w/springs) and 20 min later I had a STB that would clear the CA.

Just something to think about.

Where can I find a STB designed for the CA. i want Cusco, and none of the shops that I went to offered the one designed for the CA. Any help here would be appreciated.

Wait for one on eBay or get a Rinkya account and get one off of the Yahoo Japan auctions.
