CA18DET in an S14??

[Apex]

I can't imagine why this would be extremely difficult, however I have yet to come across an s14 with a CA in it. Does anyone have this?

[themadscientist]

I have seen it, it looks cute in that big engine bay.

Yep, same straight forward swap like putting an s13 sr into an s14.

Its a good thing since I have one sittin' on the floor ready to go in.

Thanks

I have one... about to get some new toys for it too.



I need a better pic.. I mean you can kinda see it, but not really good. I have another before the FMIC..And I should be back to this look VERY soon..

Flat black, I love it!

[Apex]

Holy ****, mine is flat black! Stop copyin' me!

That pic was taken when it was in Damesta's possesion. We redid it awhile back. And don't worry, it will be painted as soon as I find a good place.

DUDE thats cool but does it still pull i mean isnt the s14 heavier then s13

[jt15833]

I think the weight difference is less than 100 pounds, not enough to diffrentiate an engine from pulling in one car to not pulling in another. plus s14's have other advantages over s13's too

[dekansnowman]

The car in its form now, with open diff and not so great Federal tires, got me a 14.4 at the track. As for pulling, when I finally get grip yes it does. I can't wait to find a good LSD for a good price so I can't really have fun.

Cool, just do a better job of prepping unlike me. We just threw some newspapers on and went at it. I'm going to do it right here soon though. Take pics tho

[Apex]

did you have to cut up either of the harnesses to get the ca wiring to work

[dekansnowman]

You should ask Damesta about that one...It was his car before I bought it. I just keep the idea alive by showing it and encouraging people to not down the CA just because the SR is more accepted. On the first forum i was on here in Houston, everyone says how gay the motor is, and how worthless it was and every other kind of insult in the book. Yet, none have riden in one, nor owned one. I HAD an SR and this rocks. 14.4 with FMIC and 3in, clutch and flywheel combo, and one wheel peel.
