ca18rolla Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 Nick- just wondering why you were so rude to the bloke who is just on here asking a serious question. About a engine conversion. Know you have something against ca18's but reallt he just wants some info. Are we not all here to help each other out??? Also hope you don't just delete this post. Anyway bro no there are no modifications needed to fit the ca18det or de into the ke35 even when using the standard ca18 box. All you need to do is cut the shifter hole in the tunnel bout 5 inches further back. Apart from that custom mounts on front cross member and a custom gearbox x/memeber as well. Then just custom tailshaft exhaust etc. You should think about a new diff too, cause it wont handle the power and maybe bigger brakes dude PM me for any other info. If in bris come check mine out to get some ideas if you want. Goodluck!!! Cheers ROBBO
rb30 boy Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 I'm thinking about putting a cadet in a ke pano. any info you can put up will be appreciated by me,if nobody else.
ca18rolla Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Posted June 15, 2006 Mate do a bit of a search i ve posted a fair bit about ca conversion to rollas on here but. Basically to do a ke3x or ke70 (both we have done) 1.All we have done is cut the mounts/brackets of the the engine cross member and used rubbers to mount the motor brackets to the x/memeber ones (have used range rover ones noe as escort ones broke) 2.Lowered motor/box with brackets and rubbers attached into engine bay, Got it sitting right (far back as possiable while leaving clearance on fire wall, checking where shifter will be bout 5" further back to stock, Central in bay. 3. mark/scribe brackets allowing for how much you wanna lower the motor. Remove enige cross member brackets, cut sit back in, if happy tack onto cross member. 4. remove crossmember and fully weld them up 5. RE-install bolt motor in postition gearbox so will line up with diff and make a simple g/box x/memeber 6. Motor installed now cooler,elec, fuel system, etc etc I used vl turbo pump ran out at 205rwhp power, Installed 5/16 bundy line for fuel supply. One piece custom 3" tailshaft Pm any ques dude be more then happy to answer. Hope this makes sense it too late to think!!!
rb30 boy Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Is this CA18DET club? nope... Go join Nissan silvia or something if you need to know about Nissan engine conversions. thats a pretty poor attitude to have mate. especially considering the slow turnover rate of this forum the last thing it needs is a mad mod scaring people away. maybe chill out a tad :jealous:
