Like the title says, I want to swap my automatic KA24DE for a manual CA18DET and I would like to know what type of problems I would run into or things I should look out for. Any links to CA18DET parts would be helpful also. I eventually want to build the engine to a minimum HP of 300 for reliable daily driveabilty and drifting. Ofcoarse I need help to first get all the needed parts for an auto to manual swap and the KA to CA swap. I know where im getting the engine and transmission. All other parts for the swap portion and getting it running is what I would like links and help with. Thank you in advance for all your help..

First off, welcome to NICO! To answer your questions, it would be best if you read all of the posts in the FAQ's in the CA18DET forum, and the 240sx forum. Also we have a search function that is VERY powerful. Almost anything you could ever want to know can be found from searching.

If after reading the faq's in both forums, and searching you still have questions, please feel free to post at that time.

Secondly, ignore MeanGreen. He ask's me questions all the time
