CA18DET SWAP. NEED SOME HELP.

[silviaS13lover]

Ok so i plan on getting a ca motorset, but the set does not include the maf, ignitor chip, and vacuum reservoir. i plan on using tha kae maf, but im not sure where to find the vacuum reservoir, or ignitor chip. any info will help. thanks.

I dont know about the last 2....but the maf is no biggie. I would actually go Z32 if you have any half decent power goals (250-300whp). But its your car, your call. If its not complete I hope your getting a deal...

Neither the MAF, nor the Ignitor are hard to come by. Check ebay and yahoo auctions. But then again, I'm in Canada. Dunno what you guys have in the way of businesses like importconcern.ca

vacuum reservior? what are you talking about?

as for igniter, z32 and q45 will work.

and mafs, you can use sohc ka, but it has been found by some to cause lean running conditions.

..........but im not sure where to find the vacuum reservoir, or ignitor chip.

You can get both from a CA18DE (pulsar NX) from the junkyard. Make sure to get all the solenoids/check valves connected to the reservoir and under the airbox. You can get ignitors also from the earlier Q45s.

i knew nothing about the vacuum reservoir, theirs a shop called up garage and they speacalize in nissna swaps etc. he doesn't sell motor sets, just front clips and he charges 1900 plus tax, roughly 2100 in the end. he said that theirs a vacuum reservoir that is in the ca to help with torque or something. so thats why i ask.

ok so let me claryify what i need.

-kae or q45 maf-ca ignitor chip (ebay)-vac reservoir from the pulsar nx.

thanks

[silviaS13lover]

ok so what about this ignitor, will it work and is it reasonable priced? thanks

oh know that i think about it, their is a pulsar chillen at this local junk yard. lol. so can i get a picture of the vac reservoir? please, and to make sure, i can use the ignitor chip and maf out of that car aswell. thanks..

I know forsure the KAe when wired properly will work.

the Z32 will work with a SAFC and is the best for the cost.

any other maf will work with a SAFC

as for the ignitor q45 is ideal.

make sure the dropping resistor is intact on your harness.

The one you posted is from the newer Q45's.

For pics of the reservoir and the "how to", look here:zerothread/225309

If your junkyard has the correct pulsar (nx se 1.8L) I would take a printout of all the vacuum components and grab everything similar from the junked one...just remember it will be the same components just arranged in different spots since its front wheel drive. As I recall most of the parts were under the airbox (had to take it off to get to the parts). The vacuum canister was near the firewall I believe. You might also grab the injector resistor which is on the firewall also incase your motorset doesnt come with one.

Your MAF question.....dont use Q45.....unless you have have SAFC or socketted ECU with ROM programmer. Even then, Q45 maf isnt all that. I would go with KAE or buy an oem maf from someone on here.

hey this is s13lover. is it nessesary to have the vacume res. i see alot of them that dont have it jw

[mazikowski]

The ignitor and vac tank can be pulled from either the CA16DE or CA18DE Pulsar NX SE. The vac tank is on the same bracket as the carbon canister (the smaller one is the vac tank) and you only need 1 of the solenoids for your butterflies. the ignitor is attatched to the head right where the coil pack sub-harness exits the coil channel.

The vac tank is used to aid in smoothness for the butterfly system present in the intake runners.

[silviaS13lover]

ok, hopefully i can make it to the junkyard today. thanks

[silviaS13lover]

i just got back from the junk yard. i got the ignitor chip, and vacuum tank, with all the silenoids etc. for 40 bucks. im pretty happy. so in 2 weeks, im ordering the engine.

[mbmbmb23]

Did you get the check valves in addition to the solenoids? Check valves are round plastic things with nipples on each side.

[silviaS13lover]

are their 2 different colors such as white/black, and purple/black. yes i got those.
