LOL the Geo isnt for sale. Thats one of the school cars. It gets its little 1.0L inline 3 pulled out literally every semester. Its stick shift and when you drive in it with the top down it feels like youre in a go kart! Funny little thing.ca18datsun510 wrote:how much for the geo vert?
no offense, but your price for the ka is way high.
you can run the ca without the intercooler. you can either run a pipe from turbo to tb and dont beat on the car.
or you can run it na, just need to have the mafs ib kine to the tb somehow. mke sure nothing can get in the turbo.
Gotcha, I will lower it then. Thanks!Neejay wrote:Yeah, you'd get $700 if it were oem rebuilt, but not on a stock KA.
I've been keeping up with your build from day 1 (lurking). Good job man.
Thanks dude! I've some more progress and pics to upload but i will do that asap. The hose you're talking about i believe just goes to the original intake/intercooler piping. It supplies fresh air to the idle control devices.jiggy180 wrote:Hey David, awsome progress. Just one question though, right next to your altenator is a hose, which comes from a tee, said hose is cut and just hanging there. I have the same thing and have been wondering where this hose goes for months now, any thoughts? Thanks!
P.S- I did the whole swap, me and one buddy, in my slanted driveway last saturday. It was a pain lining up the mount holes and tranny cross member!
Heres a few more pics for now.adam-gtX wrote:cool
Yeah datto, I agree with you! Watching him transition from the honda camp to the nissan family has been a thing of beauty and I am truly proud of him. Would love to see it run just as beautiful as it looks as well.dattodude wrote:Yes, this build gives me new faith in you.
I remember your first thread where you wouldn't shut up about Honda engineering.. :-)
Good to see you've seen the light, and followed it.
I'm a little concerned about the dented sump. I know this sort of damage is lethal on an SR20, but that's still a big dent. Keep this in mind.
What do you think Dee?

Hahaha thanks Dee! Now i know there are a lot of board members who've come and gone and couldnt complete or gave up on there projects but i can assure you i am not one of these people! Considering the fact that im trying to get my automotive degree(s) and make this type of industry part of my career and life, it would be a huge let down to see myself give up on something so big yet so simple! It is only my first big car project but its something ive been wanting to do for the longest! I've come this far and theres no looking back. Too much time and not to mention my money has been invested into this. This is something i must prove not only to myself, but my family, my good friends, fellow technicians and board members alike! I've made the committment to this and have made a big effort to document this process so others can use the information later as a guide. If i were to quit now, i'd look like the fool. Also id like to keep a "good" reputation amongst others on the board. I want to be known for what i have accomplised, not the other way around.boost_boy wrote:Yeah datto, I agree with you!

Yeah im going to go into more detail on the wiring and hopefully make it easy to understand what i did to get the engine running. I'll do that as soon as i get the chance so keep an eye out!jiggy180 wrote:Again, AWSOME work. So clean and tasty.
Think you could post up pics of the various wiring harness item locations (ex. Ignitor, dropping resistor, resistor locations)? I know you LOVE pics!
Thanks dude. Check it out... IT RUNS!boost_boy wrote:I truly do believe you in the fact that you'll be around for a while. You truly have a wonderful little engine that's willing to give you thrills and chills as well as remain reliable for daily uses. Continue on the path that you're going and I'm sure you will have grown ten fold before you've realized both in knowledge and mechanical abilities. Keep up the good work man and stay in the fight!

Im storing this car in a secret underground bunker now! My intercooler, radiator, and electric fan will arrive this week so i cant wait to toss these last items on, then i can actually drive it!!!!dsc4130 wrote:david that is amazing, congrats on one of the cleanest ca swaps ive seen yet. i love it, now i wanna steal your car

Damn it! Im trying to get them to work. Let me know when you can see them.float_6969 wrote:David, the only video that works is the engine install video. The rest are set to private.
Thanks dude. I am really liking this part of the build. The point where im literally there, just havent actually tasted the sweetness. It sucks that more time must pass by but i guess i can be a little more patient. I will update asap!anumeric wrote:David grats on getting your motor in and ever so closer to driving it. I'm sure it runs as good as it looks and it looks GREAT! It gives me motivation when it comes time for my build! Keep up the great work and the pics coming!
