Car: none.. Just do swaps for fun

Post

I've got a 91 240 sx.. So far i have got a CA18DET motor, trans and computer..

I have been trying to avoid the newbie post.. But if i can find any more info on what i need to do for the swap.. Or where i can print off a good write up on the swap i would really appreciate it!!! I just want to know what other parts i need and what else i should be sorting out before tearing apart the car.

Thanks alot to anyone who can help!

you will need a sohc maf, intercooler piping(wether it be fmic or stock smic...) a down pipe, a uncutt wiring harness, then that you need to modify as shown on heavythrottle.com, um iminthk thats about it...you need to knock the dust boot thing off the transmission, just a little heads up, i just got a screwdriver and banged on it...

then also it is very recomnedable that you get some basic tune up item like a new water pump, wich is a pain in the *** to put in,k and i can imagine very nasty to put in whenthe engines in the car, you will have to remove the upper and lower timing covers, the crank pulley, and unless you like unscrewing a bolt for 30 mintues to take off the timing chain...

then you will probably ned alittle vacumm line to go form your wastegat to your coldpipe, then a vacuum line for the aicv (kinda big) and youll also need to modify the heater hoses. i ithnk thats aobut it. its really easy it just takes some time.good luck and let me know if you have any question in particular, theres a big chance that i wont know the answer but you never know lolmatt
