Somehow, I don't think that'd be worth much....

That is a badass motor though. I'd trade my left nut for it...

the turbo, manifold, injectors and the plenum arent for sale in this particular auction. just the engine.

FWIW There was a stroked CA 2litre a few weeks ago that shat all over this one... ended up going for 150000yen. absolute bargain in the big scheme of things, but already the "importers" who have blown the market over here have already had a stab at it.

I would be afraid to get that motor after the thrashing I bet it has had over the course of its life... Compared to my obviously "granny owned" CA that I have in my basement, I bet it will look abused...

Holy crapola! That's crazy!!! I somehow feel like less of a man with a measly modified T28 now...

a guy that imports motors here in houston had a ca18det front clip that came with a cast T3 manifold and a big HKS T3 flanged turbo (T3/T4 from the looks of it)... it was pretty badass looking.

I just realized that the turbo was so big that they had to ditch the powersteering. That's awesome!
