The everything cd009 swap thread.

[TheRealSy90]

Just to post some more info in here, those of you using the Mazworx bellhousing kit MUST either change the pilot bushing in the crankshaft to the revised and shorter Nissan needle bearing, or cut the copper bushing shorter by 1/8". If not the transmission input shaft will bottom out in the crank shaft and potentially damage thrust bearings etc, even after trimming the input shaft stub in accordance with the kit instructions.


Also, apparently the Tomei stroker cranks require the pilot to be trimmed even further than 1/8" as the crank is not machined out as deep as an oem crankshaft. Meaning the needle pilot can't be used as it cant be trimmed.
As far as I know nobody has tried it with a BC stroker crankshaft yet.


Regarding clutches, the Mazworks bellhousing was built around a Comp triple plate clutch just to make sure that it should fit any clutch option you could possible have lol.

This gps signal converter needs no additional hardware. That means no Dakota box.

Have you personally gotten this to work? How did you wire it? I'm under the impression that the s14 requires two signals to work

UPDATE:

Purchased this along with a Dakota Digital SGI-5 to convert the 8,000 down to a 2,000 Pulse.

Will update when wired in and if it works.

Awesome news. You should include a full write up so lazy people like me don't have to spend all day researching it.

In other news Jason @ cbfperformance is doing a 50 order group buy on his rear mount shifter for $185. Let's support this American business and buy quality parts.

So I have searched high and low and have not come up with a clear answer. I know the CD009 can handle some good power but what is the "threshold" for it? I have seen them behind 1krwhp 350z in one video, behind an LSx in another, behind an 2J in another but again no clear indication to the sweet spot before it grenades.

Depends on what you do when you first hear wear signs.

I know of one, fitted to a 500+ Whp rb25 / ps13 . I think it started to whine a bit, after a couple of year of abuse as a pro drifting machine taking part in numerous european championships. It only needs new bearings.

If it can take that kind of abuse (it really IS abused), i cannot see a zilvian user destroy one. Unless it is not correctly installed.




Edit:

quick question here. I do not like plate adapters for various reasons, and am interested in the JWT kit. There is something i don't quite understand though. It requires an automatic bellhousing; but is it a Z33 auto bell housing, or a SR20 auto bellhousing ? Has anyone here installed one ?

Since i am using a CA18DET, i think i am getting in trouble here ...

Auto Bellhousing from the motor you are adapting to, IE SR- SR Auto Housing. Are the bolt patterns the same for SR/CA?

I think the gearbox side of the bellhousing is identical. Engine side is not. CA & SR are quite common here (s13 come stock with a CA, S14 with an SR) .

The flywheel is also different, as the SR has larger clutch area (i was told it can be installed using an S12 starter ).

I'll try to get some more infos. Thanks.

It uses the auto bellhousing of the engine you have. Idk if they make a kit for the ca18 though.

That must mean there is no threshold. These transmissions are infinite in power.

Hey guys, wondering if you have some insight on this. I am currently doing this 350z trans swap on my ka-t. I literally got everything in and then the starter doesnt fit... I am using the autotech motoring ka to 350z trans adapter plate. The starter hits up against the 350z bellhousing... I took apart a ka starter and used the starter gear as reference and it looked like a whole section of the bellhousing needed to be cut out! idk if the other adapter plates have this problem. The autotech motoring website didn't say anything about it.

[roninwon]

From what I heard you're suppose to notch the starter with a grinder or dremel

Do you know which part of the starter to notch? If I can notch the starter, I'd much much much rather do that. I sure as hell do not want to pull this transmission back out lol.

[EDacIouSX]

Pretty awesome thread, great amount of information here. Thanks to everyone that contributed!

[S-Verteen]

Nismoboy92 for my kat cd swap with the Collins adapter I've found clearance on the starter itself isn't sufficient. This lead to me opening the housing where the cone hits 3/4 to 1".

[roninwon]

Alright guys. Talked to Jason over at cbfperformance today and there is still 44 rear mount shifters available for $185. Let's help out a small business and buy quality American parts!
Currently on sale for a group buy at $185

So anybody have a working speedo yet with the cd009 swap? I'm debating over which route to take on this.


I should be able to run a front abs knuckle sensor to get a speed signal from it.


Also LOJ offers a speed sensor kit that goes on the front yoke of the driveshaft, however at $300 it's a bit pricey.


This brings the question, better to pull speed from the rear/driven wheels or from the front wheels?
In the grand scheme it's best to have BOTH so that you can take advantage of traction control if your ecu supports it...


I'm leaning towards the driven wheels since that's how a regular s13 speed signal is pulled... But that's the most expensive route too.

[brndck]

/\/\/\/\ I plan on using this, but I have a stack cluster, may or may not work with oem

[Nissansota240]

I'm attempting to use what I posted in the last page, hopefully wiring it up this weekend. Otherwise if I don't have time, at some point after SSC I'll get it figured out.

[TheRealSy90]

Haha anyways good luck with that 001.


Looking forward to seeing who gets their speedo's working.


Supposedly the AEM Infinity ecu might be able to convert a speed signal thus eliminating the need for the Dakotah converter, but I haven't figured this out yet for sure as I'm waiting for mine to come in.

Got a perfectly working speedo, will do a lil write up later this week .

would love to hear how this was done if you used an AEM infinity ECU

Same here as I just bought an infinity myself. However I've heard it might be possible that the infinity can convert any speed signal internally and would make the dakota converter no longer needed.

I'll see what I can do, I'm super busy lately, might have some time next week.

[SidewayzAsFck]

So I am picking up a cd009 this week for my sr20det build. After doing some looking around I am between the CBF performance shifter bracket and the gktech unit + trans mount. Anyone able to give some feed back on the two units (from personal use)? I just want I make sure that both units actually place the shifter in the correct location for a s14 chassis as stated by the manifacturers. I also have the autotech adaptor plate and a s13 sr20det

Several people have bought cbfperformance rear mount shifter and it fits perfectly in s chassis. The gktech one was built specifically for s chassis. I'm going with CBF cause it looks beefy compared to the gk one.

I also have the xcessive trans mount and i am very happy with the quality

[Kylepaschke]

I am using the CBF shifter and it works out really well. Its also 100% made in America so I personally value that. I also have had a great experience dealing with Jason, the owner of CBF; throughout the entire process

[Yellow4g63]

I got the gtech unit. It's at the post office tho need to go fetch it soon.
