it will work, you just need the right radiator hose. look on enjuku (sp?) racing and they have it.

you would need either SR radiator or different hoses. And correct me if im wrong buuuutt,The top and bottom hose holes on the ka radiators are both on one side while the SR radiator the top hose is on opposite side of bottom hose hole.

OEM radiator for S13 chassis with SR20. Get that and some OEM radiator hoses.
