nice work on the repairs man =]

looks like you can just bolt the throttlebody on the other side of the manifold as theres a plate there?

ok so i managed to kill the 4k a little earlier than i planned so iv picked up a 5k to get me though till iv got the ca18 conversion sorted. thanks to nathan (RIDDLA) for driving me around and emotional suport when the po po tried to impound my mums car (vx commodore) for aparently drifting..dude its a single pegger with directoional tyres on a wet road..anywho will be pulling the 4k out tomorow after work and geting the 5k ready to drop in along with a weber to hang off the side =D

someone buy it so he can 4age his 55 =)

let me know!

keen as! i want to se how many horses have escaped from my 4K with its blown head gasket of fury! doubt il have ca18 in by then =/

^^ akward....il be there =D

where u thinking of meeting up?

organise a cruise for her maiden voyage? =)

yeh id be keen to give it a go!

thanks matey il take that into consideration =]

cheers mate. Iv been doin bit of research and found that info out wich I'm happy i don't have 2 hack the trans tunnel up. Just the engine mounts I'm concerned about

exactly. And also just discovered the trusty 4k has popped the head gasket so even beter excuse for and upgrade.

reason I'm goin CA is I'm geting complete motor and accessories for free and there more readily available. Id love an SR for sure but out of my budget. I'm hoping that some1 makes pre fabbed mounts to save the headache.

thats the plan eventually.

yeh haha engine mounts lol. Think it was mentioned that r31 were used?

should have the new donk next week and start striping it down to se whats lurking inside and start colecting conversion bits

I'm doing CA18 conversion also. so with the r31 mounts do you just drill holes to suit on the kframe?

still for a 20 year old engine you wouldnt expect to pay 600+ right? especially since theve usually got around 250,000 on the clock..and who can so no to a free CA18DET?? =D oh and il be in geelong today jake shall i bring coils with me?

so after a talk with a mate of mine i have acquired a CA18DET which will make its way into Neila in the not to distant future. due to the ridiculous money people wont for 4age's and associated parts i can prob do the CA conversion for c cheaper as il be doing all the work myself. any tips or suggestions welcome =]

I'm contemplating doing ca18det conversion in my ksev I'm geting a complete motor out of an exa tho so are they harder to wire up?

woow. U could swim in that dish! Def put them on!

siiicko!
