I'm in the process of doing that right now. I'm putting a '96 KA into my S13. It is taking a little longer than expected, especially because I had to switch the Intake Manifold with the S13 Intake Manifold, and also the Exhaust Manifold. We dropped the engine in last night, and we are hooking up everything. We didn't realize we had to switch the damn AC Compressor bracket. So we're doing that right now, while the fucking engine is in the car. Ohh well, hopefully she will be done soon.

Congrats on your car man.

 

hey, a quick warning, use the tranny harness from the s13 also....the s14 wont hook up to the fuse box...and use the s13 alternator. just a couple of things that i ran into......good luck.....

Wow really? Anything else?

 

you can use the s14 alternator, read the other post about epstein saying the ring on the harness has to be clipped and widened or changed out to fit over the terminal.


but congrats on getting it running.


oh and regarding your sig....3.5" exhaust is gonna be expensive. 3" will do you fine.

 

we are not secret services, we are central florida performance... we don;t want rumors going around like *hey secret services is open again*

glad we were able to help you

 

to jonas.....i said, ups to the guys in the old secret services building.....but thats besides the point....ummm OH, to the kid doin the same swap, theres a dust cover on the newer tranny that has to be removed for the driveshaft to fit, just get a flat head and pry it off.....no big deal. OH and use the s13 AC compressor if u want AC because the ac lines dont fit the newer one....thats about all i can think of......good luck

Yeah this was interesting for my first major nissan project. Went pretty smooth except for the minor things, Like miles said this wouldn't have been finished if it weren't for central florida performace, and those two hardcore bastards at garage vegas. Now its time to start preparing for the once cam to twice cam swap.

 

well at least were gonna have a little break between the two swaps lol....just straightend out the timeing thing, all i need now, is some hose clamps, put the old dust cover on my tranny, and some fresh paint, and then im all good. OH, and i gutted the cat last night....it sounds fuckin sick lol....nate, come over and check it out when u get a chance......peace
