Hi guys, I’m from Hamilton and am re-starting work on my 1990 240SX coupe. I had originally bought a CA18DET for it incomplete, and spent 2 years sourcing all of the sensors and wiring for it, only to find the motor was already pooched. It idled for about 10 minutes with a serious rod knock, and then threw a rod in the #3 cylinder. After sitting for another couple of years, a friend of mine and I decided to attempt to resurrect the 240, so I’ve picked up a silvia front end, and a clip from a JDM S14. I’ve got the car completely stripped right now and have some serious rust repair to do… Canadian winters can really do a number on a car over 18 years!!! The car doesn’t look like much right now, but we’re hoping to have a nice clean VVT coupe in the future. I’ll post some pics of the build. This was it with the CA18DET installed: ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/JDM_S202_STI/101_0181.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/JDM_S202_STI/101_0181.jpg) This is how it sits today: ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/JDM_S202_STI/silvia_01.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/JDM_S202_STI/silvia_01.jpg) This is the donor car: ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/JDM_S202_STI/S14_4.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/JDM_S202_STI/S14_4.jpg) This is my other baby (money pit 😉 ) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/JDM_S202_STI/WRX_13.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/JDM_S202_STI/WRX_13.jpg) I’m a member of the SON board, but thought I’d sign up here as an additional source of information, parts, etc. I have some things left over from my S14 clip and from my old CA swap that I will post for sale. Take care guys! ---

My projects usually take quite some time, but I’ve been happy with them in the end… This was my old Teg (1994 supercharged GSR - 214 whp) Here are a couple of pics of the suby (2003 WRX/V7 STI - 362 awhp) … put new rotors on it last week… thank God for friends with hoists!:R And finally what I hope the 240 will eventually look like… ---
