Almost identical to the SR swap, check heavythrottle

NICO has a CA forum for this, check em out.

General tune-up, replace timing belt is my advice, new turbo because I bet $$ it's got shaft play, set it up for a FMIC, new clutch while you're at it. . other than that the wiring is like the SR.

ka24De clucth . . the trannies are identical, the belhousings are just different

I got mine off NOPI, the dual friction one is what I was reccommended off NICO

I'd be wary of a CA for so cheap, shipping alone from Japon should have been that much
I have a contact on NICO who does them for $1500 shipped with engine tranny ecu ignition and such.

Do the swap yourself, you'll learn a lot.

well im getting it cheap cause one of my guys in my group sells a lot for him. also 4 of my teammates have purchased motors from him. not to mention he is japanese lol
i have seen the wearhouse i went f-ing crazy when i seen all those motors. i was going to do a rb20 swap but i ran out of money to reinforce my engine bay and buy the mounts and other things and the ca with its iron block is cheap power.

im doing the swap my self, i just finished up with a civic swap plus im in school so i want to get to it by at least mid fed

Biggamehit i sent an email to that guy and was told that i could get the swap for $750 but there was no ecu and a cut harness and no intercooler... kinda bites cus i dont know where i would get the harness or the ecu to finish out the swap... now if i could locate these parts i would be all over this swap... they come in auto but that is what i was looking for... i have bad knees and would rather have an auto for that reason...
catharsis if you are lookin at this thread can you school me on where and if i can get the ecu and the harness??? and a kind of close price for them???
