hey guys new to the forum just wondering if this has been done before

can you please help me ? :D

the engine been from the same family as the ca18de i imagine it would be a similar process, but ive gotta ask why?

 

a ca18de would be cheap and i imagine a better motor.

It's probably because he has the motor already. They're a twin spark motor and my mate's old gazelle had a fair bit of poke. Being a brother of the CA18DET which is used a fair bit in old corolla's, it'll bolt in with custom gearbox and crossmember mods/mounts. Then down the track if you feel the need a CA18DET would drop right in its place.

Or do what Candellan did on Twincam and make a CA20DET, but if you follow his process it took upwards of 2 years to finish...

ok thanks guys yaeh ive got the engine sitting there just thought id see if it fits

and if was going to be worth while. Would i need to change much else to do the conversion other than the gearbox mounts and crossmember and could i just use the pintaras ecu its got already to run it all?

cheers for the help thanks in advance. :y:

LOL, just kidding
