i thought it was easier to use the whole s14 motor and all the accesiores and just make it work. thats what i did, you just need to change the speed sensor on the tranny, and change the coolant sensor back to the s13 so your gauges will work right. and have taylor make you a harness so you can use the s14 internal coil. i have lots of ka parts for sale so pm me with what you need.

 

doh! forgot about the charcoal cannister. Yeah, that simplifies down to 2 lines; one vacuum and one intake. That's the only emmision thing I kept, just because I don't like the idea of running around with an open line from the gas tank. Well, that and I don't like the smell of gas under my hood.

When you pressure wash, use a toothbrush as well.

Also relating to vacuum lines, the S13 intake runners have tumble generation valves that the S14 doesn't have. Don't worry about those either. The back of the manifold will be crawling with emmisions crap. Eliminate all of it. It will simplify down to a line going from the back of the manifold (it's kinda hidden, dont' leave it open on accident) to the FPR. You might have to get creative when it comes to blocking off that big piece of iron bolted to the back. Don't forget to do the nickle mod on the exhaust side, too.

Also, speaking of accesories. I used the S14 alternator because it was newer. The S14 unit has a larger stud for power, so the S13 ring terminal won't fit on there. Just snip the ring open, pry it a little with some pliers, and you're good. I kept the S13 AC and PS, just because I didn't want to make an even bigger mess.

 

Dan, Epstein, and Hachibill, thanks alot for those write ups for the things that I needed to do. I appreciate it.

Bill, I'm sure I will be PMing you in a little to get your S14 stuff that you have forsale, and to see what you have.


This Friday (Coolcloo1019) and I are dropping it in. First time for everything.
I'll let you guys know how it went.

Do I have to switch the A/C compressor brackets? If I'm using the S13 a/c compressor?

 

no.

my friend did swap them while putting an s14 motor in his s13, and then realized theyre identical. heh.
