Hi, looks like a cool ride. More details ? Did you cut hole in firewall for distributor ? Can't see a clutch master. 5 speed ? What drivetrain parts onto the 4AFE ? Look like headers.... homemade I imagine How does it drive ?

good skills super cool little ride!! Too bad u gonna scrap the chasis.... twincharged 4ag seems right at home How did you plumb the sc - turbo - intake ? Is that a bigport intake manifold ? What cams are you running ? (I'm sure the holset will choke on stock cams) What is the final diff ratio target Once you get supercharger fattening up the lacking low-to-midrange torque, the car should be a blast throughout the entire rpm Heck, even a 3 speed manual would work in that lightweight hull

the buick v6 is actually the perfect powerplant for a street corolla imo, simply because the torque it makes In the usa the swap is considerably more difficult. Supercharged even more so The land down under has all the rwd goodies to make the swap aalllooott easier, Dunno how legal it is tho. The motor "fits" good. Gear the car properly and it will be a blast. Exceptional mileage (in heavy cars) is a welcomed bonus A tap on the throttle will press you back in the seat.... from just above idle. No need to rev 6k. Wrong motor For example, you can pump wads of cash into a gze, and still it will be no match for a well tuned normally aspirated stock buick v6 on stock electronics The camaro drivetrain is the common donor for rwd transplants. The 5 spd should live in the 1000 pound lighter corolla The box is tilted towards the left tho. I dunno if the box-bell mating flange could be cut/rotate/welded Research says "bellhousing from the 1994-1995 2.2L 4 cyl Chevy S10 pickup has the EXACT same engine mounting bolt pattern as the L67 (which is also the same as all 60 degree GM V6's), and also has the correct provision for starter location (left side of engine, or drivers side in a RWD layout). On top of that, it has the FORD T5 manual trans bolt pattern in a straight up mounting position. Not the tilted gearbox pattern in the Camaro's"

Excellent performance from a 1.8L full weight street car.... plus, towing a trailer to and from the track. 23 psi ? Camtech 270 regrinds ? ..snapped while installing the caps ? Seems like an efficient combination You must be a real soldier to push through all those setbacks. Gotta respect that effort. Great stuff!

a gze is in no league with a ca18, not even a comparison. Rod bearing is an "old nissan 4cyl" problem, from my observation. Forums are littered with SR big end failures also, as they get older. If you're too stupid to get past a CA18 rod bearing..... you shouldn't be modifying cars at all. Blaming the motor won't solve your dilema. A few CAs dyno'd well over 450hp atw on std bottom end. Chose not to take em any further. Several 10sec street CA powered S13s about. Took NO less to get a SR powered one there. Lots of videos of Mobnes' well documented STREET CA18 powered S13 online; at only 23psi(gt35)/pump gas, balazes tires in 3rd. Over 500+hp using std inlet manifold. Eventually pumped up to 705hp on E85, STILL using SAME mild hydraulic 260/8.8 lift Tomei cams! What more does a CA18 have to do ? tons of reliable powerful ca18s in existence, gettin the crap beat out of them with NO issues. This is FACT. Posting horse5hit about the CA won't change that

ka24 block is cast iron. On the business end.... cams r direct acting(no rocker arms) For daily use, a KA torque actually makes it a pleasant drive... and it can be quiet. Unlike those noisy small displacement high revvers, annoying exhaust & induction noise and having to rev the piss outta it to get any grunt. Lotsa shifting, short gears too. KA is a different animal. Just because KA makes more torque lower to midrange, dosen't mean it won't rev/pull past 7000... thing is, no need to. KA has posted ridiculous street and drag ETs, especially considering the mods used. High mileage KAs done well over 400hp atw + a robust 400+ft-lbs tq, std innards. Enough to pee-ur-pants in street rolla. Over 500hp & tire-shredding 550+ ft-lbs tq, std head/cam/intake, only piston/rods added. "Truck" motor or not, KA can be deadly Dunno what RZ can do on std innards, but I suspect similar potential, if ya wanna keep a rolla all toyota. There was a nice 2RZ powered street rolla detailed on 3tc.com - pistons/rods/std head & cam. At 26psi went 9.8sec. Got an amazing 37mpg too! That is what 'truck torque' can do 4 u :)

not sure what u were looking at, but inside an sr20 is nothing like a ka24de has shown itself as nissans' monster of a 4cyl, over this way = lotsa torque

paint is the very last step I'd go. Gotta have the right wheels & stance, and comfortable driving/draggin at its final power level(I'd hate more to scrape fresh paint). 11s should be easily attainable. I'd reckon KE10 weigh around same as a rwd KP starlet. My starlet is a near duplicate of a ca18det powered one close by that ETs 11.1sec; t3/t4 @16-17psi, unopened 18 yr old motor, microtec my kp looks like total sh1t. It(or we) has to earn its paint job. Feels better beating up on expensive shinney cars too yours already looks 'decent' to me and its off to a good start.

Hello, isn't the auto tranny controlled by that little electronic box above the main ecu ? are you running the entire CA18 loom - cabin & drivetrain ? If you've isolated the tranny wiring, I was asking if there was some information available on how I could wire mine up. Part of the body loom from that donor auto S13 was damaged, but I have the tranny/loom, silver box, main ecu & engine loom etc. additionally Is there wiring info available online for the S13/CA18 cluster ? I'd like to use the S13 cluster in my CA18 starlet. I have the cluster and cut the pigtails from the abovementioned S13. I modified the S13 fuel pump/hanger assembly and welded the cutout on the KP fuel tank. Quiet oem operation and the nissan sending unit is ready For my 5spd CA18 AE86, I'll attempt my NX cluster to work using this; http://www.sr20forum.com/technical-informa...log-digital-clu ster-93-94-se-r-nx.html I have a waste spark signal modify circuit that 'should' keep the single-coil tach happy/accurate CA18 is imported here but no factory manuals. I pulled a full complete auto tranny S13 loom/electronics for a future project. I suppose I can use that as a reference to figure the wiring out "the hard way" if need be thanks for reading

since you're on that side of the globe, u can probably reseach this. In thread here; http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...345355&st=0 owner told me, that impressive/torquey CA18 ran a pair of "256 degree Duration - 8.9mm lift regrinds from Wade cams.... direct drop-in" Perfect for my needs. A couple austarion.com clubmembers extremely pleased with their Wade regrinds Tones old 20G CA18 street beast (on sxoc) ran Piper "reprofiles". I've seen other motors perform fabulously using regrind cams... as I've ran one in my old pushrod toyota 3TC. Made a startling difference! I actually spanked 2 hondas with that little 2 dr sedan. When I let off and they pulled up alongside, I rolled the window down and said, "v-tech that!" lol So I know for a fact a quality designed/reground cam can work well. Interested in your results if u go this route If no luck with the Wade (or Tomei), I'll probably hit up Iskenderian cams in the u.s., as they did the cam for my 3T. Revitalized CA18 interested seems like there is a market, where Tomei limited production may not cut it

awesome sample of two sweet clean little cars!!! The 'bamboo' colored car has an automatic transmission... did I read correctly ? Is there any information available so I can wire up/run my auto ? what about wiring info for the S13 cluster. I'd like that in my rolla also thanks
