I found a great deal on a CA18DET but it needs an intercooler, ecu, and a MAF sensor. I was wondering, if I bought an after market intercooler, other than piping what would I have to do so it would fit in the front of an '89 240sx? Would it require moving anything?

probably nothing other than finding some way to mount it (brackets of some sort), custom piping, and possibly cutting some of the bumper (but nothing major)...

and you MIGHT need to relocate your battery, but it's no big deal!

i don't know why but it keeps sending me back the mail i send you...here's the answer to your question...

*****yeah...turbo ecu...for a manual...and I'll deliver it too, no problem...so for $80 (and some free lunch):) I'll come deliver it too you...

if you want to wait and see if the other things sell, that'd be cool, cause if you wanted anything else I'd rather only make one trip...*****

Thanks,Sean
