ca18de in a ke70 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) hey guys and girls...gonna talk to my mechanic bout what should be my next move...i plan either 1) Put in a gearbox with the ca18 and later on use performance clutches,chipped ecu etc and see how that goes or 2) Swap in an SR20DE with gearbox and just mod later (parts for the SR cheap and plentiful over here) what u guys think??

ca18de in a ke70 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) i read that an RB20 or SR20 RWD gearbox can work with the CA18 engine...so if i use an RB20 gearbox (since its stronger)..what ECU to use??...if i use the CA18 manual ecu with the RB20 gearbox would i get any problems??

Jono Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 if sr20 parts and cheap and plentiful just go down that route and count the savings later when you mod it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca18de in a ke70 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 i gonna check around for an RB20 gearbox for the ca18...i would like to know if the manual ca18 ecu can work with it or not?? (i know its not a toyota question,sorry guys) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 AJPS, his front swaybar does make a good difference (in my experience anyway...) his prices should be in australian dollars. over here some of his gear is a bit more expensive than other places you can go, but he may be a good source for you being O/S. hes the only one i know of selling the swaybars anyway. for more 4age rwd tech, check out www.toymods.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca18de in a ke70 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 thanks loveke70.....convertin a 4age from FWD to RWD is worth it in your opinion??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7shades Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 A lot of the stuff AJPS sells is also available from www.technotoytuning.com and they are based in the USA so your shipping may be cheaper... they have some excellent products, as does AJPS Personally I would stick with a nissan motor, as your car is already set up for it... also there are a gazillion aftermarket parts available for the SR20 in your part of the world, less so the GE or GZE. An SR20 ecu shouldn't have any trouble running an RB20 gearbox... unless you're going to stick with the automatic then you *may* run into some problems, but I can't confirm that I've only ever played with manuals.

ca18de in a ke70 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 thanks KE70kid.....7shades is right..the ke70 already has an ca18 in and it would be easier to swap in an SR....soo I'm sticking with swappin in a gearbox to the CA18 or taking that out and putting in an SR...gonna talk to my mechanic this weekend....if i swap an RB20DE(T) gearbox with the CA18DE,can't i just swap in either an CA18DET or SR20DE(T) engine only (later on though) since the RB20 can handle the torque??

7shades Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Clutch flywheel possibly a bearing or two and maybe the tailshaft from the manual although I can't see a need for axles and springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
