I'm thinking about ordering one, but don't see them listed for ca18det. The ones listed on ebay both KA and SR show the same pics....with the inlet/ outlet both on the passenger side. I thought one of the engines had the inlet/ outlet on opposite sides?? Anyway, which one do I need for the CA?

Thanks

I would think you would need one for your S12. That is to say i dont know if S12 and S13 radiators are interchangable. I know in an S13 chassis, a CA would need a KA radiator, with both inlet and outlet on the passanger side. The SR has inlet on the drivers side, outlet on the passanger side.

Ths s12 rad and s13 rad are the same size...Only thing I would need to do is make brackets for the bottom of the rad to sit in. I have the 2 s13 brackets for the rad support for the top of the rad. Here's one in a s12........



So, KA S13 rad then?

Yep. CA, KA, RB all use the same radiator.
