I have a 1992 240SX Fastback,

I was wondering if it is ALOT bigger job putting this motor in it than say a CA18DET?

I imagine it will be quite a bit more work, They are a beautiful motor thoughEven a VG30DE engine without the turbo would be nice, it is almost as quick as the SR20 and you don't have to worry about the Turbo...

Any help is appreciated, Thanks

it would be a real pain in the ***. the CA is pretty much a direct bolt in motor. do some VG30 S13 searches and see what comes up

I think I remember someone developing a kit for this swap to resell.

It included everything you needed for the swap to fit in a 240 except for the motor, transmission, and driveshaft.

Im sure you could find more info searching.
