so starting the swap soon and got some questions
•can i use the ca mounts or are ka mounts required?
•is there a difference between wiring up the ka harness up to the mk1 and mk2 harnesses?
•im doing the bellhousing swap on my c trans do i need the s13 front drive shaft?
•and could someone hook me up with a link to the best wiring guide theres just so many of them.
1. Ka mounts
2. Yes there is a difference. Mk1 is easier.
3. Again yes. Ka front half of shaft.
4. I used the mk1 write up from sterlings post. Worked perfectly.
Now what car (mk1/mk2, turbo/ non turbo) and engine are you gonna use?
If you're doing the bellhousing swap in order to attach your stock S12 tranny (FS5W71C) to the ka24, you will NOT need the s13 driveshaft. Since you are keeping your tranny, your driveshaft will not need to be shorter...
If you use the S13 FS5W71C tranny, it is longer by a couple of inch compared to the s12 version, so you need the front section of the s13 driveshaft because it is shorter
I just did this swap. Ka bell/ ca "c" trans. I thought the same thing.
I ended up needing a ka front shaft.
Be sure to post pics of this swap in your build thread :thumbsup:
Glad to see another KA swap under way!
