the other post has been up for two hours. Get over yourself if you think that there are extremely knowledgeable people sitting here waiting to answer your questions on a Saturday night and do so for free.

Answers take time - sometimes hours, usually days or weeks. If that's too slow, please visit a performance shop during their hours of operation and bring heaps of money.

Best to use RNU12 CA18DE loom and ecu.

Try the new owner of the RNU12 that was sold on here last week.

Don't mean to be rude man but if your doing an engine conversion wouldn't you plan it a bit more thoroughly?

The only good thing about the ca16e is the exhaust cam as an upgrade for ca18det's.

Damn right!  There is a reason the EXA dropped the CA16DE for the CA18DE in '88

Oh btw you know how the ca18de exhaust cam is an upgrade for the ca18det? My mate and I found an exa at u-pull-it and got the cam for $25!! They normally sell second hand around $60+ each!

$450 isnt a bargain for just a motor, IT HAS NO COMPUTER, it's completely useless.

because its hard to find a turbo manifold for my ca20 and its not a twin cam
besides i could just bore and stroke this one out to 1.8L

Twin Cam = Better Take Off  :o
