okay just got a CA, and there seems to be no coolant lines to run to the firewall for the heater core. And no brackets for the power steering pump.

I was wondering if you guys could help me, tried looking in the FSM, but no luck. And would a KA-DE or KA-E power steering pump bracket work?

One last ting, I put my KA-DE throttle body on the mani and ran the two coolant lines to it, and I was wondering if there was a designated inlet and outlet for the TB?

use the coolant lines off of your ka....youll have to modify a bit

doesnt matter what coolant line goes where on teh TB as far as i know....as long as it flows

power steering bracket MAY work....as far as i know DOHC pumps are all the same minus the hicas models...so theres a chance they kept the same bracket...worth a try

The thing is i don't know how the coolant lines are supposed to be routed. The guy i bought the motor off of, did use his heater core, and ran the coolant lines all wierd. And he said he pinched off the lines gong to the turbo.

Does it really matter how they are routed, as long as they flow in the right direction?
