i just dropped a ca18det into my 1990 240sx and i hooked up as much as i could to the 240 lower harness. i tried starting it but didnt get anything out of it. i checked for spark and fuel and i wasnt gettin any so im thinkin im missing a connection somewhere. i have plugs left over from the ca harness but i cant seem to find out where they go. I also cant find where to hook up the MAF (im using the ka24 maf). is there anyone that has done this swap before who can help me out.

Dude, there's a gang of individuals who have done this swap before especially in this forum. If you're virgin at installing JDM engines into USDM 240sx vehicles, you need to do some reading before carrying on with your install. Word to the wise, too many people have attempted this swap with not so great results (electrically), so it would be essential that you do some research on installs or email individuals directly to see if they could give you a one on one session on doing the electrical install of the CA18DET to USDM S13 swap.
