Greetings all,

As above, I'm after a 180sx/Silvia front-cut with a CA18DET and g/box.

I'm going to be putting the CA18+box in my Suzuki Sierra.

Who in Perth sells front cuts with CA18's? I know SR20's are dime a dozen, but the SR's are too expensive and I'd much rather a CA18 due to the price and many other factors.

I just want a dead stock CA180+box with reasonable KM's.

Any info is always appreciated.

Cheers,

Jace.

Can't start a new thread on SilviaWA, don't have enough posts.

I'll get one going though....

Martin - I looked around for a half-cut at KYP and it will be around $1500.....so I'm beginning to think it might be a lot cheaper to just buy the motor+box itself.

Probably would be, except if you buy a half cut you can at least make some money back parting out what you don't use. And it means you get everything, you don't have to try to source those hard to find little parts

That's true. But all i'll really need is the engine, computer, ancillary equiptment and gearbox. A custom tail-shaft from the box-->diff & box-->transfer case will be made, along with custom x-member and some other shit.

Ill still look around but not sure if i'll have the room at my friends workshop to put a halfcut......and then there is the time+work of taking the motor+box out and other futzing around.

I'll keep looking.

In the meantime, if anyone knows someone selling a CA18DET with gearbox, computer etc, stock or very close to stock and reasonably low km's; let me know :D

I have a mate that will changing his CA out of his S13 in a couple of months. I'll let him know your on the lookout and get him to give you a message over here.

Have done some research and have found it is going to be wayyyyyyy too difficult to do the CA18DET transplant to the suzuki....A LOT of custom fabrication work involved, and have to re-locate the transfer case due to the size of the CA gearbox.

No longer need a half cut as I'm going the way of a Swift GTI motor and turbo-charing that.

Mods please close thread and thanks for everyones input/help.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
