if you KA swappers could give me some information on wiring up the fuel pump, cluster, and stuff i would greatly appreciate it.

none of your cluster stuff will work except your voltmeter and your speedo (cable/analog type at least). Tach is different, oil pressure sender is different, and water temp are all different. I could be wrong, but I can't get any of my stuff working. I bought an aftermarket tach, water temp, and oil pressure guage, and all is well :)

fuel pump gets 12v and a ground. not really that complicated. Follow the FSM wiring and compare it to the KA s13 FSM wiring.

i remember reading a while back on the 24hour ka swap thread that something needs to be wired up so that the car can warm up by itself and you dont have to have your foot on the gas.

cant you wire up the tach through the dash? find out what wire is the signal wire coming from the ka ecu and run a jumper from that to the tach in the cluster? i had to do that on my sr20 b13 swap.

can you post a pic of your interior with the new gauges?

I'll take some pics when I get the interior back in. Its currently stripped because I'm spraying the interior with truck bedliner. The only thing going inside is the dash, a pair of aluminum bucket seats, the gauges, and a back cage.

the warm up thing isn't related to the fuel pump. As long as you hook up all the wires to the ECU, the idle air, and cold start things will work fine.

I don't think the KA distributer sends the proper tach signal for your s12 dash tach to work. So even if you ran a jumper it won't give you a reading. Kinda like if you try running a single cam KA24E tach with an SR20DET swap in an s13, it doesn't work. Its not the right signal. Someone had posted something about adding some diodes and connecting the tach directly to the distributer, but I don't remember what you have to do...
