newbie girl here...just got my first 96 S14 need advice on a swap

[herS14]

hey so...anyone willing to give advice..ok so i just got a 96 s14 with the stock ka but i wanna do a swap. i wanna do it cheap hopefully and wanna see what my options are...i have seen that the rb is cheaper but i wanna know how much more will i be needing to do to it so everything works...as compared to the plug and play sr20???

[Ca_Silvia]

You post this in to a ca18det forum, my advice to you is...........Ca18det.

[sjbsuperman1425]

well my first advice would be to learn the car first.

[The_Chosen_One]

Since everyone else posted their advice.

Here is my advice.

[herS14]

wow what a typical guy...ehh

[The_Chosen_One]

hey someone had to do it, might as well of been the cool guy. ITs a forum must and atleast we got that out of the way.

[r34 gtr]

Why is this in the CA18 section? I hate to say it, but you should try 240 general chat. You will probably find they aren't as nice as us though. Don't mind The_Chosen_One, he just really likes boobs.

[sjbsuperman1425]

i agree with r34, everyone outside of the CA community are a$$holes. and what kind of guys dont like boobs??

[mbmbmb23]

i have seen that the rb is cheaper but i wanna know how much more will i be needing to do to it so everything works...as compared to the plug and play sr20???

What comes to mind is.......custom motor mounts, wire harness conversion, electric radiator fan, intercooler piping, and theres probably more (not sure if the driveshafts are plug and play). If your RB is older (like the CA18's), your best bet is a rebuild since it is a high revving engine.

wow what a typical guy...ehh

what a typical moron girl who has no clue wtf she is doing

PS you are the reason the girls who actually do have a clue.......... have such a mountain to climb.

[sjbsuperman1425]

[dblanehopr]

mmm girl in a 240. ;] but yeah... get into the car and learn it. ....in the middle of a thought here, i realized your in cali... no chicks in here from dallas?

Hey people waaaaay to welcome the new girl to the forum. She probably cried, and ran to my bedroom. JK JK... Wow we sure are a bunch of @$$-holes on here aren't we lmao. Gabby is like the one and only on here. I don't think she'll make room for others lmao! (I think she might beat other S girl drivers down ha ha!). Dude it was like with in 2 seconds of posting that she got clubbed in the face, verbal sexual assault, and told what by another girl. D@mn it makes me proud to be a part of the CA community!

actually much love to my S13 girl friends.........

are you saying Im the token female?? those who have been here longer than me remember that other CA girl....

I dont know your driving background, but you should take time to get used to your car. You will find that your money will be best spent elsewhere. Suspension, brakes, etc. For instance, if you go RB, you are adding a bit of weight to the front. This means you will need more braking power as well as upgraded suspension. The factory suspension is meant to deal with the weight of the KA24, not RB. The brakes also have to slow down that extra weight.

You won't have to worry about that as much with the CA or SR, but you definitely want to make sure that your car handles well before you start adding power.

[davidricardo86]

Welcome! Unless something is wrong with the KA, i suggest you just drive the car as it is. Then work on tires, wheels, drivetrain, and suspension. If you really need to do a swap go with the CA18! Its a hole youll never crawl out of... unless you sell it... but anyways Its probably because i want to throw my CA into a clean purpose built s14 chassis! Got any pics of the s14?

[Logan76]

I wasnt aware an SR was plug n play? Meh maybe im just a confused little nooblet.

[ganma_ca]

Ha ha ha yes Gabby, you are our CA spokes girl lmao If another chick doesn't have a clue, you put her in her place! Kick he rin the ovaries and such lmao jk jk.

I just think it's hysterical though as soon as a noob posts something she gets kicked in the !!!!D@ng straight, we ain't a bunch of SR queer's in here lol. We all have big huevo's Dude didn't anyone know freaking RB's and SR's just drop right in, and in 2 minutes of driving................................. you can FAIL! muahahahaaa

[Logan76]

lol, your bashing SR's and RB's? I like CA's but the SR and RB are both very capable motors.

[jt15833]

gabby you alpha female *****. i feel bad for whatever gets caught between your vagina that surely has teeth.

Anyhow, I would suggest against a CA. They are very old engines and parts are obviously becoming scarcer. SR or RB imo.

[ca18detgabby]

Ha ha ha yes Gabby, you are our CA spokes girl lmao

does that mean I have to lower my IQ and slap on some hot pants? I though tim already did that for free?

[ca18detgabby]

gabby you alpha female *****. i feel bad for whatever gets caught between your vagina that surely has teeth..

[sjbsuperman1425]

S13 - $500CA18DET swap - $1,300finding a girl with an S-Chassis CA swap - PRICELESS

its not everyday you come across ignorant car girls. But when it happens, theres Gabby

[float_6969]

I don't log on for one day and the place goes to hell...

OP, you might try posting this in the 240sx section, but before you do, I would read all of the FAQ in all of the engine and 240sx forums.
