WaterPump Installation

I put the waterpump in a while back. It's a straightforward easy install.

Tools needed:
Socket wrench
12mm socket
Rubber mallet
Liquid gasket
Razorblade

If you haven't done so already then remove the waterpump pulley to gain access to the pump bolts.

Probably nothing wrong with the old pump but I wanted to replace it with a new one for piece of mind.

The old gasket is holding steady so use a mallet or just man up and bust the waterpump loose.

Speed Sensor

I replaced the speed sensor today.

Tools needed:
Screwdriver
10mm small head wrench...you need a small headed wrench to get to the bolt head over the hump of the speed sensor.

When you do the swap you have to swap the speed sensors out. If I'm not mistaken the US sensor reads mph while the JDM unit reads kph or m or somethin'!

Just bust the screw on the speed sensor loose with a wrench and remove it.

Insert the KA speed sensor, insert the bolt, screw it in and you're done!

Knock Sensor

I was going to replace the knock sensor with a new one but I decided to just stick with the old one.

If you took everything loose like I did then put the knock sensor and harness back together and mount it back on the block.

I finally got the IACV gasket in so I could put my intake manifold back together and mount it.

great stuff.


when installing that plastic gasket for the intake manifold. how much space did you have to torque down the nuts/bolts? last time i did this swap I wound up ordering up new longer studs to have extra clearance.

when i did the greddy pully i used regular bolts instead of the studs since i wasn't going to be mounting up a mechanical fan.

a lot of the times on these gaskets i use liquid gasket maker. works great. cheaper than the oem pieces too.

I havent' torqued that manifold down yet because I'm gonna have to take it off again to put the coolant temp sensor on. It's not like the one on the KA where you can take it off without removing anything else because the intake runners are in the way.
