CA swap! =) (56k beware)

Well for the last week as some of you by now know I’ve been hard at work dropping a fresh CA into my 90’ hatch… I decided to swap this motor in after my KA gave up the ghost on the side of highway 16 outside of HINTON no less… that was it, i had had enough hehe

Anyway, I took a bunch of pics so I hope you guy’s enjoy! 8)

This is after two afternoons, you can see in the pic below just how dirty the engine bay had become, even I didnt think it had gotten this bad

Finally after waiting 4 or 5 days, my motor finally showed up at speedworks, and I’d like to say thanks to neil for being patient and answering all my questions :smiley:

Jared was an enormous help by doing the wiring, so thanks goes out to him too I really appreciate the help bud. And now I just dropped the motor in and started hooking everything up.

All that I have to do now, is pick myself up a clutch kit tomorrow, and hopefully get my SMIC from jared and one or two other small little things, and she should be ready to rock.

I took this just for the hell of it :slight_smile:

BTW: If anyone has a DOHC gauge cluster please let me know, I would very much like to find one thanks! 8)

I’ll keep updating you guy’s as things progress

Looking good John!

glad you did the right thing …hope it all goes well

Lookin good man.

I think you need a CA tach if im not mistaken. The dohc tach works for the sr but not the CA

Crud i hope not… anyone know for sure? does anyone have a CA gauge cluster, or know anyone who has one for sale?

Nice job. Another CA :smiley: . I work with your freind Dan and I guess his Z32 arrived in Van yesterday.

did u clean the cross member and engine bay before puting the new motor in? nice choice of engine though it defintely differnt then all these sr20`s running around.

pulsar: yeah it did, and I think dan’s made mention of you a couple times, you put a CA in your pulsar? my GTS-T arrived there with his car also 8)

nicely done

yesss!!! ca power!!! moree!!!

Yeah I swapped a CA into my Pulsar and its currently getting JE pistons, eagle rods, FMIC, and a lot of ECU tuning. Once I build up some extra cash a gt2530. My goal is between 220-250 whp. Dans gonna have to watch out :smiley: .
