My Ca18det swapped 66 Roadster

[Alvin]

brake/drivetrain upgrades?

Sorry its been awhile, funds have been slow, but up front I have the volvo 4 pot calipers, and in the rear just stock. Also, I have the 510 master cylinder.

The best news yet is that I can still use my stock one piece drive shaft! All I had to do was get some new joints and yolk.

Do you have any updated photos? I am debating doing a KA24DE or CA18DET swap. Sounds like the CA18DET is pretty straight forward. Any other issues you could warn me of?

Thanks,

So no photos with this update but, I got the can/am box wired up but I messed up somewhere. I'm not getting enough power to the coil packs. So I'm going to re-wire the whole harness again. Just gotta find the time to do it

Okay so here is a little update.
Got all my wiring fixed up so now I have 12v everywhere. I was getting spark now, but no gas. Until l realized that my fuel line where on backward.. haha
So I put them in the correct way and still now gas in the chambers.. This leads me to believe that the injectors are clogged from sitting for 1-2 years, So I sent them off to RC injectors to be cleaned and flow tested. I will have them back tomorrow and I also upgraded to a Nismo adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
So im hoping ill have it fired up next week some time!

So the electric part is working, one step ahead.
Did you renew the rod bearings too, this engine is sensitive for these bearings as they told me.
Can you send me more pictures from the gearbox mounting and how this look inside the car by the gearshift, Tanner.

The day has finally come, it runs! Still needs a lot more fine tuning to be drive able but that's the easy part.
I have done nothing to the motor other than cleaning it up some. I plan on doing the timing belt once I get it running good enough and then beat the living hell out of it till something happens haha
Also im sorry ive been lagging on those photos peter, im only around the car for several hours a week if that. ill do my best.

[Roman]

Yeah, pictures are a must.

Pretty hard to find an FJ20ET.....its before they started adding the "D" for dual over head cam......

and for $2500 +++ you can make pump your CA18 up to 2L

Nice link, for grins I checked the price of the valve springs for the SR20 VET ... $255.
Also, the SR20 VET can be stroked to 2.2 L for a mere 3,250 ... what are guys waiting for out there?

Oh and my favorite pic from this site is this one ...

And if your goal is to have the scariest SR20VET money can buy then Mazworx has a billet aluminum prepped block for only $6500.00 because according to their website "The stock cast aluminum block is only good up to 1300 hp."

Why the nerve ... only good to 1300 hp ... although 150 or so is scary enough for me.
Someone on these pages has a winner with 450 hp silver 67.5 custom with a unique dash!
Whoosh ... wonder who it is . Not sure the exact engine though turbo is involved I think.

okay so here is the transmission mount, nothing that special about it. also here's a short clip by buddy took, sorry for the shitty quality haha.

PS. okay can someone tell me how to upload a video? I cant do it as an attachment

[msampsel]

I think you can upload to u-tube and then link to it from here.
But I have not done it.
