s12 s13 s14 interchangable parts?

why fit an SR? nasty agricultural engine that's VERY expensive when they go wrong, and don't listen to people who say they never go wrong because they certainly do and usually they give you very little warning

what engine would you go for then?
the ca18det?

i was thinking of going that route origionally because i have a spare gearbox and they sell quite cheap...

personally I'd build a CA18DET, you can get an engine that needs building for £50, spend £600-800 on it and you've got a spotless engine which can bolt to the ET gearbox so no need for fabrication. an SR gearbox alone will go for £250

why are they nasty and agricultural, i've had one for 3 years and it's been faultless

biggest prob is sourcing the parts.
seems to be a shortage of fucked s13's at the moment lol

how much you looking for one then?

and if it's to fit a t25 to yours you don't need it, the standard s12 dump pipe fits with 3 bolts, and sits in the standard position so needs no modification of the exhaust. I've done this on Docwra and CA18DAT's cars

Mostly talking about the construction, I just can't stand anything about them
