So my imported S13 Silvia got hit pretty bad, resulting in the core support being bashed in and somewhat destroying the Fan Shroud.

If anyone has a CA18DE fan shroud they are willing to part with please let me know and text me with pictures of it @ 2013440231 Thank you!

The fan shroud is the same for all s13s, whether it be SR, KA or CA.

NOT true. They're all different. The main issue being that all of those motors are different lengths and heights and the water pumps are in slightly different locations. I know for a fact that trying to run a CA18 with a KA fan shroud doesn't work at all. The CA is shorter in both height and length. This causes the fan blades to set almost entirely outside of the shroud and to rub on the bottom of the shroud. I've never tried a CA with an SR fan shroud, but I would imagine it would still have issues, as I think the SR water pump sits pretty high on the block compared to the CA.

I would HIGHLY recommend switching to an electric fan setup. CA fan shrouds are pretty rare items and are rarely intact.

Weird. I don't remember ever changing out my fan shroud when I did my swap. I had a single cam KA.
