91-97 Ka's are very similar. The 91-94 had 3 bolts going through the valve cover while the 95-98 only has 2. Other than that, just about everything is interchangeable and the same. Compression ratios were different between the s13's and the s14's, the latter having a 9.5 instead of a 9.0. The 98's switched to a single row timing chain.
