alright well i will be doing the ca18det swap here soon i just need a few more things clarified..but i was searching and came up with 4 results on this and only 1 was slightly informative..so here goes i was inbetween the halfcuts i think also called clips or just the complete swap deal things that come with the engine trans, ecu maf ign chip, and so on with doing one of these what else is needed as far as to get it in and my car running..i read that i can use my stock radiator, am i able to use like my stock motor mounts and all on it or will i have to buy new ones and other stuff...to sum it up shortly is it needed to get the clip or will i be just fine with just the complete swap thing thanks - Brad

yes you can use the stock ka radiator and motor mounts, but would recoomend getting new ones since you will already have your motor out

It's the same as doing an Sr swap, but the radiator does hook up easier.

Get the motorset. I got a clip and I wish I hadn't. It's just more work.
