Where to get a ca18det and how much hp and tq?

[89_240Coupe]

ive been searching and searching... so dont tell me to do that. Where can I get a ca18det? and how much hp and tq do they have? Ive read some websites saying 135hp which seems way low and ive heard 175hp... Whats the truth guys? I really want a ca but I cant find any place to get it, making the sr sound better... I want the high reving and the workhorse ability of the ca help me out guys... and dont flame me. My KA24E sounds like its got a bunch of kids throwing rocks off of a tin roof... so I need an engine sooner than later...

welll im in baltimore now.. i live in calvert county, but i have my car for sale... kinda tenatively. i have an 89 w/ a ca18.. you can buy the ca which is basically a front clip from me for 2500.. its running in my car right now.. so you can come and drive it, and i know a shop in fairfax that will do the swap for 1k unless u wanna do it. the 2500 is fair because its the normal cost of a clip and you dont have to pay shipping which is 500 bucks...email me if your interested.. peace

How much for the ka-t how many miles, any mods, what turbo... give me all specs any guarantee?

2500 for the ca seems kinda steep, I can get one off ebay for like 945 bucks. guaranteed. What have you done to it? give me all specs and everything.

I hope if the IRS is looking for me they send you. It's in a sticky at the top of the page scooter. The one that says "read this first"!zerothread?id=114950

Good luck in your endeavours with the CA

Or you could just buy a motorset for $1k. You don't need a clip for the CA. And it's only a 'clip' if you saw off the front half of your car.

God, I hate these threads. How come I could find all this info on my own 2 years ago, and now it's layed out plain as day and nobody can find it?

its gonna take you way more than 1k to get a ca bud.. trust me thats what i thought when i bought my clip for 2k , then shipping, then handling, then blahdy blah... it adds up.. or my car which has had all the problems worked out, new timing belt, new wp, all that stuff and is proven to work cause you can drive it around.. how is that a bad deal? your saving so much money. the engine itself is stock, but i have a boost controller, boost gauge, test pipe, 3" catback.. i would sell it all off seperatly and you can buy what u want..

You can definitely get a motorset for $1300 shipped with harness, ECU, transmission, sensors, etc... Nobody said anything about replacing stuff. But I digress, yeah you're right... I have no idea what I am talking about. Although mine is a lot less than $2500 and its freshly rebuilt. (take a look at my sig and click on the link).

you fail. don't come on here with that attitude that you know all when you're wrong. I hate when newbs do that... Picked up a CA18DET motorset just afew months ago for my friend's car with everything needed to run. Replaced valve cover gaskets and clutch. Under $1500 total for EVERYTHING we used. Back in the day I paid $300 for my motor, $200 for my transmission, and $400 for my electronics (shipped prices). So don't say you need to spend $2500 or even $2k to get a swapped CA.

And to the other guy who started the thread. Read the post titled "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING". Sheesh... no one reads anything anymore.
