To get in running ghetto ... 2000 CAN its around 1600 US

But if you want a clean install and all the bling bling
2200 US should do the trick. It depend, be sure to buy a good condition engine.. so you dont need to tear it apart.


good luck
Ps:this post should be in chat

You mean just to get it running? If so, all you need is a motorset ($1k - $1.2k) air filter (if it doesnt come with the stock airbox) and a DP. But obviously that is not the ideal way to go.

I mean a complete swap.
If I buy a front clip, that should do it right? It should include transmission?

Trying to do one from my car (90' S13)
Changing my USDM motor into the JDM (CA18DET motor)... :bow: :bow:

Your going to want to buy a front clip, replace a few parts like the timing belt/spark plugs/water pump/etc, and you might need to pay someone to install if your not doing it. I would say expect to pay around 2K.

You don't need a front clip. The KA radiator is fine with the inlet/outlet on the correct side. Everything else will come with the motorset that you need to get it running other than maybe a gauge cluster which you can grab anywhere for $50 or so.

TRUST ME, if u want it all w/o exceptions then buy the front clip..... i cant count to how many newbies private message me for info reguarding what their motor set didnt come with so yeah, now u dont have to get any mix ups on mt trannies and at harnesses!:(

get a dam clip and save yourself the pain and hasstle for searching on crap u could have had!

how do the shops go about installing the clip? do they take out eveything and slap it on the car or do some crazy shit and then its magically there??

You should post a vid of it running. I've never seen one of a CA.
