Seized

[Red93coupe]

I'm thinking about trading my 93 coupe with ca swap lots of mods for a 91 hatch with rb20, but he says the motor is ceased. My question is what would it take to get t running again, I don't want to have to order a new motor and do the water pump and timing etc... any help would be great thanks!!!

Sounds like a crappy trade for you IMO.

hahaha, I wouldn't.

Seized means you first have to tear apart the motor to see if you are even able to rebuild it. If not you'll be stuck with a chassis and in need of buying another motor.

what would it take to get it running again?

a new engine.

Well he said because he has coilovers he must of hit something and put a hole in the oil pan and he kept driving it unaware of the hole so he got it home and it woulnd't start again

[240z4u]

Coilovers are not going to help a non running motor.

If the swap was super clean and you could afford another motor thats a reasonable deal I guess.

Still, sounds like a bad deal for you.

the fact he has coilovers has little to do with him being a moron.

theres no way you should take this trade.

[Coolwhip]

Yea like Kamin said, don't do it, obviously that guy's car =

[Abdo]

I suggest you either lick a public toilet seat or drink bleach before proceeding with that terribly unreasonable trade. You shouldn't even have to ask us a question like that.

Whats wrong with your CA with mods???? I'd rock it if I had it.

I want more power, and I love the rb seris motors thats why I have a little CA so you think it is honestly a bad deal there are some minor problems with mine here and there too, all I have done to mine is Godspeed big FMIC, 3" ss autchrome turbo back exhaust, and some other minor mods, so to me its worth it!!

See if you can get him to include a local bridge too.

Yeah I will admit that right now I might be getting ripped but I'm not worried about now I want something in the long run that will sustain more power, yeah sure my little ca is pretty quick but it can only go so far the rb can go alot a further with tuning capabilities right or am I wrong?

if it was atleast running it might be an option, but you'd have to be crazy to do that trade man how much hp are you looking for the ca is a pretty capable motor, if i were you i'd trade up rb25-rb26, to me no offense to any one rb20 isn't worth it if your gonna do it then DO IT . but here probly already seen it but its pretty nasty for a 1.8lhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzOLRXyATx4

I want something like three fifty at the wheels without dunping tons of money into the motor I totally agree with the fact that the ca can become a very potent motor but it's the money I would have to dump into it that scares me, and everytime you ask the CA guys there all like well you shouldn't have a car if you dont want to spend money blah blah.... Well how hard is it to get 350 at the wheels out of a CA or a RB20???

[s13rb28]

well think about it if you get a seized rb20 that turns out to be complete junk your gonna have to get a new motor and start all over again, or you could take and dump that money into your ca and be that much closer if not there. either way its gonna cost you money, rb or not. rb parts are about as easy to come buy as ca parts, rb26 few bolt ons and your there, rb25 alittle more but definatly doable, engines and install cost more, if you want rb20, keep your car and swap it or trade your + some cash and take the rb20 swap, rip it apart and rebuild if possibly, once the internals are done it'll be capable of whatever you want. Bottom line you gotta pay to play. best of luck no matter what route you chose

[Coolwhip]

Save your money, buy a rb20 motorset, swap it in, sell you CA done deal.

You'll lose so much if you trade.

Plus your better off buying a long block to get the other one running because a rebuild for 350hp on a rb20 isn't worth the money.

A rebuild for 450hp+ yea.

So its cheaper and smarter to go with a long block route. $1500

Mount crap, fmic, downpipe, etc - $1000

$2500 to swap a stock rb20.

Sell the CA for whatever you won't need $1600 (idk)

Cost you $900 in the end to upgrade.

With the other car you will be stuck not moving and you'll need to drop a few grand on a rebuild or get another motor. $1500

+ what else you'll need.

For 350hp you'll need a turbo, fuel management, and injectors, as well as clutch and crap.

Go with an sr, and you'll need the same things but its on a cheaper scale since its not a RB. 350whp all day. You'll reuse a lot of crap that you have right now.

Well thanks a million I don't think I will trade anymore!!!
