sorry about the title i know its lame

anyway

ive searched and cannot find a difinitive answer just bits and pieces. - what if any are the problems of swapping in a CA into a '90 s13as far as fittament or special wiring needs (i plan on using a CA harness, not doing a splice job) or anything that would be out of the ordinary

You must sacrifice a virgin and add a drop of her blood to the engine oil, or else it won't run. .................Bolts right in man. And you HAVE to modify the harness.

And you'll either need a set of DOHC KA powere steering lines or you'll have to try and bend the stock SOHC KA power steering line.
