Power Steering question

[limecorrado]

Do i need to buy a ka24de power steering pump and lines for my ca18det or can i have some made and use the stock ca unit.

P.s.I tried search.

I'm doing the swap right now, I read somewhere you could use the KA-E with really minor modification. I'm doing the p/w steering lines now, looks like it is possible. I'll do a write-up when I'm finished.

I know that for my 91 KADE we just bolted the stock lines to the pump. Dunno if that helps.

The lines from a 91-94 fit without modification. 89-90 lines do not work. You will need the lines from a 91-94. According to Heavy Throttle you only need the soft line that runs to pump, but other sources say you need them all. I have a '90 and I also have all the lines from my last '92 and I'll post pictures in a few days of what really works and what doesn't.

i used my ka24e lines.. just bent them carefully and they work fine.. but i also dont have ac or fan/shroud on my car.. so dunno if that helped.. dont think it matters much just gotta bend them carefully so they dont kink.

I just bolted my ka power steering pump to my ca and put the ca pulley on it. (ka24de)

you can bend them. just be careful. if not go to a professional. if not go get the 91-94

Was that pretty easy?

I have a parts car that I can pull the lines from, but if I don't have to.....

Yeah it was pretty easy. All I did is just removed the power steering pump from the ka and put it to side of the engine bay. Then I just removed the ka and since I didnt disconnect anything from the power steering (i.e. lines), all I had to do was remove the ca pump and use its bracket, bolt, and pulley. Good luck .
