so, i am starting my swap today. and i still have a few lingering questions.

1. will my KA24E coolant hoses fit? and, what goes here(picture)?



is this my turbo coolant feed? or does it have to do with the heater hoses? in which i DO have the U shaped peice of hose to get it to reverse direction.

The turbo coolant lines should be hooked up and they are hardlines anyways. Those look like your heater hoses. You need to cut them down to the other side of the motor (passenger side) but not too much because you have to route them into the big nipples on your firewall. When you look behind the ka youll see what im talking about.
