In the UK the S13 had the CA throughout its production run from 1989-94 with the 4 port head.

Hey paul, how much do you think it would run to get a 4 port head and intake mani over to the states?

Well you only need the head, manifold and the fuel rail, as i'm sure your aware the inlet plenum will bolt straight on.

The whole lot shouldn't cost more than £60-70 for the bits, as for shipping I don't know, I would have weighed a head for you but I got rid of all my bits, I can't see it weighing much more/less than the JDM head.

It all depends on how fast you want it, if it goes by boat it will take ages but it will be cheaper, just get the sender to write happy birthday on it to avoid import tax! ;)

This is the only shape we got......



This is the '92 facelift versions with bigger brakes(still rubbish), a different bumper and a VLSD as standard.

maybe next time im over visiting family ill pick up a UK head and bring it back with me. might be over there in about 2 months.. could be fun. do you think it would be worth the trouble? (i did carry a pair of bookshelf speakers back with me last time, so i doubt this would be much harder..flight attendants didnt like me much though)

Hey Tim, if you do that, let me know! I'd be intrested in one. I don't have the funds right now, but if a UK head isn't rediculosly priced, I'd like to get one and flow test them to see how they do.

Have a look at the for sale section of http://www.sxoc.com/vbb you should get a rough idea of price.
