so you use th SOHC ka parts not the DOHC? i knopw you can use th ka clutch ka flywheel and ka driveshart and motor mounts... but is it the SOHC or DOHC????

im gettin ready to do this in my car in about a month or two...

I know you can use the KA24E MAF but can you use the KA24DE MAF?

Ignitor (or SR, VH, VG will work)Dropping resistor (or use one from a 1G DSM)Fuel pump, either the JDM or a Walbro (you may want to install a Nismo FPR if you do the Walbro)

If you're SOHC I'd get a DOHC throttle cable too. It's not entirely necessary, but the cable won't have to stretch across the valve cover and look stupid.

The secondary butterflys should be hooked up if you're running the stock ECU. This shouldn't be a big deal to do if you buy a clip; however, engine sets don't typically come with the components. Look for an '88 Pulsar NX SE in the junkyard or order the parts directly from Nissan. For more information look at the write-up in the stickies at the top of the forum.

I don't recommend using the KA mounts (the CA's exhaust side mount is a tad shorter IIRC), not sure about the S12 ones. If you want the engine to sit right in the car and the mounts that came with your set are toasted, try window welding them or buy the Nismo ones. Be cautious, they aren't the same as the SR ones.

I thought I read somewhere that if you're running basically a stock ca(ie. factory boost pressure), you can use the factory fuel pump?

You can, but I don't think it'll hold up for very long. I don't have any experience doing so, however, as I've got a Walbro and a Nismo FPR. Anyone know for sure?

no ka flywheel buddie.

ka-e mafs, not de. e or de clutch disc and pressure plate is the same, difference is in the throw out bearing. they changed the tob carrier when they went to dohc.

this information already exists in a sticky by the way.

All of this info is redundant. Please read the FAQ in the sticky at the top of the forum please, thank you!

So it is aboslutley necessary to use the DSM injectors/dropping resistor?

No, it's just a replacement if your stock CA ones are fubar or just not there.
