is it possible to get one?

P_856 · 05-05-2009, 10:56 PM

yea its possible there pretty cheap too last time i checked its basically a mini rb

240_fun · 05-06-2009, 12:10 AM

I meant more like would they be willing to get one being its not a commonly bought motor

ilovecoupes · 05-06-2009, 01:19 AM

As time goes on they become harder to find. Kind of hard to find now-a-days.
Every once and while one will pop up on the CA section of nico club.

I thought I saw someone, selling one on here not too long ago.

When i first got my 240 , dating myself 5 plus years ago... CA were the perferred swap now they are hard to find.....

yeah this is a more unique swap, rather then the sr.

ilovecoupes · 05-07-2009, 12:07 AM

ya, there nice little motors. supper easy to work on. can buy most OEM parts at local auto parts shops.

But, there isn't much after market support. so don't expect to be making insane horse power. And the motors are pretty old, so what ever you get its smart to do a simple build up(oil pump, water pump, etc).

thats the way I look at it. And One day, if i hit the lottery..

Ka26det - Stroke FTWWW

240_fun · 05-07-2009, 11:00 PM

I think what i will most likely end up doing is turboing the KA till she dies then going CA and see if i like it.
im not looking for big numbers... prolly 220-270ish
Im just worried that my KAT will be as reliable as a 7 bolt turbo DSM =p

I just wanna make sure you guys COULD get me a CA
And I want some coilovers (maybeeee BC but i wanna know what you got used) when i come get my cross member and tension rod bracket (I spoke to anthony on the phone)

you going for a crapload of torque?

240_fun · 05-09-2009, 10:09 PM

torque is awesomeeeeeee
i hear the KA26 is really not worth the 3000 dollars from BC

so your gonna build my old block I guess? haha. You still down for coming next sunday to pull mine with me? And I should have to money to go buy my new motor too.

OutToWinPAHC · 05-10-2009, 10:17 AM

I'm sure Nick can get one... Can I ask why? Parts are hard to come by on these.

DPancoast · 05-10-2009, 03:43 PM

if you don't get a response, I would suggest calling!

240_fun · 05-11-2009, 10:44 PM

i called but not about the motor
ill ask when im there wednesday
aftermarket parts are kind of hard to come by but im not looking for anything too big anyway

EliteImports · 05-23-2009, 10:10 AM

Sorry for the delay in response...

I always depend on an email notification, but I dont get them with new threads

As for the CA, I can get them, but the cost will not be cheap as everyone expects. I still but the whole car for the donor swap as I do now, and a silvia with a CA as opposed to an SR is only a few bucks different in price, which means the swap would be very close in price..

Usually, if people are buying a CA, they dont want to spens SR money... But if you want one, I can definatly source one for you!

This post is gonna be deleted anyway.

But hey, to the ones who read this, I just think you should support my cause.. I want a refund
