Does anybody know if the accesories off a CA18ET will fit a CA18DET? Such as Power Steering, A/C, and Altenator? Sean, I know you posted about gasket and plugs, but will these swap? Thanks Mike

I don't know if they will fit but I do know the CA18ET and CA20 are the same engine. Only difference is bore/stroke. Heads and even cams are the same.

Kinda tough to find ET's but CA20's are a dime a dozen.

CA18ET / CA20E have different alternators, all the CA18's are Mitsubishi and the CA20's are Hitachi, probably just to have more spread out parts sourcing and/or amp rating.

By the part #'s, none of the accessories would match up, altho I did find that one of the part #'s for CA18ET compressor is same as FJ20E (for S12 euro).. and one of the alternators is also on the CA20S in the C32 (euro also)..
