==already looked into it, stock sway will work, as long as rb25 xmember is used...the biggest issue is trying to keep the TT with the steering shaft, almost all 26 swaps on usdm s13's require single turbo conv. - unless custom manafold is built
--the tranny hump will have to be massages, but only about .5 inces for the first 5.5-6 inches from the top and from the bottom, torch it and hammertime. that is the pain in the ass section of this swap.
--downpipe taken care of, alreay found one that will put output at stock coordinates for flange.then its just what exhaust to make/use
--intercooler will be fm or course, just going to use a VSPL that will fit the s13 and it can handle the HP. Piping will have to be custom, but I got that taken care of.
No doubt, this will be a MOTHERFUCKER of a project!
I understand that this is not easy, but I want the challenge of putting this monster into my s13, and knowing that if/when it is done and running - that i did it myself. The car will be down no doubt for at least 6-8 mos...but its worth it to go through the motions myself and not get a bunch of info off the web on SR swaps and bolting it up, adjusting the harness and go driving. Like i said- i like the challenge of it. If people say "oh shit, thats tough" then bring it on, ill still do it - i may bust some knuckles on it, but still get it done.
Mad props to those with SR swaps, no disrespect at all. The SR20 is an underrated engine and can be really sick from the get-go, just gotta do my own thing and go for it. I'll keep you all up to date on what happens.
Secret Services --You guys will definately be getting a call, once its running, on going thru the ECU and making it better-faster-stronger.
