I was under the impression that KADE TBs do not work. I know that I am using a KA24E TB on my CA and it fit perfectly.

A DE will work, but the TB coolant lines end up on the top of the TB and it looks uber-ghey. The KAE and KADE are the same size, so just get a KAE.

I have a KAE like I said and the coolant lines are on top as well.

Are you sure it's a KAE? I tried both on mine, and one was just like stock, with the lines on the bottom only the coolant lines faced the wrong way, and on the other, the coolant line were on top.

well ill go check it out sometime cause i know for a fact this is a Kade and see where the cooling lines hook up, but technically u do not have to hook up the cooling lines to the throttle body anyway, its just to keep the air warm and keep it from freezing inthe winter am i correct?, cause i used to have a mazda and people would disconect their cooling lines to the tb and they would work just fine and got minimal power increases cause they air stayed cooler, just cant really drive in the winter
