Good place to buy a CA - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

CalPolyKing · 02-14-2008, 06:20 PM

Would anyone know anyone selling a complete CA18DET swap, or know of a shop that sells them for under 1200? I've been looking, but all I have found for under that price is RBperformance but they are all tapped out of CA to sell w/o installation.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.. I blew a head gasket and and torr up the whole block, and instead of just installing a whole new KA I figure I'd go CA.

I was about to recommend Spencer. Him and his crew all rock CAs from what I recall. Give him a call.
714-330-0021. His shop is in the Westminster area.

Mini Obakemono motor man. I'd rock one if I still had my 13. I know the Aussies push that motor like crazy.

CalPolyKing · 02-20-2008, 05:23 PM

Cool.. thanks everyone for the input.. I just have one question..

Will I need to do any wire splicing if I have the complete ecu and wiring harness?

thats a question Spencer can answer...

buku_points: and Iron Block motor that can handle 400Hp with stock internals is always a great buy

i remember jpr having a few CA's there
jpr motor inc.

Panda garage has em. Not in stock. But I was told if you specifically order them, and tell them exactly what you want, then they can get it. Cheap too. 1300 for a motorset give or take.
