Ok I've been working alot on my DD , s14 w/ CA, and it's just getting to be too much to do on my DD, too much car downtime.

I want to put a s13 ka24de in to drive around while I tear down the CA and get it done right. I never had to swap from s13 KA harness to CA, so I don't know what had to change.

Will a s13 ka24 wire right in to my CA harness?

take out the CA18 with wiring harness, put KA24DE with its wiring harness in. thats all it should take.

i am NOT 100% sure on the S13 KA24DE though. the S13 and S14 KA's could be exactly the same, but i never had a KA so idk.

the S13 and S14 are not the same....... there are several right ups about it........

I would keep the CA harness with the CA and just pick up another DOHC harness....... will save you alot of hassle.
