Welcome to NICO!!!

They're not the same engine. s12's had CA18ET's not DET's. They can be swapped fairly easily.

haha, nice siggy turbo-111... i knew ppl like that where i live.

one kid had a civic built for nitrus and a turbo, but no nitrus or turbo.. so the car ran like crap. that was his defense, anyway... it was jsut a piece of crud with rims and a nice paintjobby.

but thats just my off topic ramblings.
