i got practically everything i needed for a ca18det swap for my 240 when i had it for $400 off my friend. He said there was weird compression on #3 cylinder, i just changed the rings, headgasket, valve stem seals and other seals. Parts are pretty easy to find, just a lot of online ordering and special ordering. I dont understand when people say there isnt much after market parts, probably another one of those phrases people throw out because they heard it on the internet.

I'm thinking about doing this swap. What kind of manifold and turbo are you using? Do you know if the stock manifold will hit the steering box? Also did you figure out a way to make the stock ca mounts work?

I'm using a log manifold from forcedfab and I just had my friend weld the turbo flange to make it a top mount. So everything was tested fitted to make sure it cleared the steering box. I used the stock 510 motor mounts, but used the metal bracket? Mounting is no different than the ka or sr swaps.
