By the way, the HKS VPC is NOT cheap. You'll be looking at about $400.

MAFs are awesome, you just have to run them blow-through style for maximum awesomeness.

Just so you guys now know, I am the proud owner of possibly the world's 1st CA18DET powered B13 sentra. It was delivered to my house while I was at work. Such a cool looking car in person .

When I get the opportunity, I'll post some videos. Planning on taking this car and my 240 to the dyno for some fine tuning soon, so I'll post videos of that event. And as for motors, I can always get an engine if one needed one.

Dee, I've been reading up on your links for the CA, and could really use some help in the whole entire swapping process. if you could help with making an informed engine purchase and give me a heads up about the total monitary debt I will be looking at to swap one into my s13 it would help a lot. I'm not really looking to go all crazy as of yet with the mods, just want to do enough to ensure reliability thank you, thank you.

Dee, thanks for writing this up and posting up the pictures. Definitely paving the way for people like me, even though I'll be doing this in my Pulsar and not a Sentra. Great info.
