Ally's S13 KA Auto to SR 5 speed swap thread

[1bad91s13]

What's up guys? This is my first build thread here so go easy on me. A little background on me: I am 25 and have been tinkering with cars and motorcycles for just under 5 years now. Coming over to the Nissan would from the VW scene (got tired of spending lots of money to get no power LOL) Oh ya and I'm not a dude! That's right fellas contain yourselfs female here doing a complete ka auto to sr manual swap Now on to the car. Picked up this 91 S13 almost a year ago for a whopping $500. Guy thought his "mechanic" toasted the head when he didn't put the chains on right but they never even cranked the motor over LOL. So All I did was align the chains and pay the back reg ($590 for 2 years thank you california ) and have been driving it ever since.

Here's the agenda:
-S13 sr swap stock turbo
-5 speed swap
-battery relocation
-fmic
-Dye carpet black
-Change heater core (mine leaks)
-VLSD
-Engergy suspension bushing kit

I pulled the dash because I need to replace the heater core as well because mine leaks. And yes I drilled the other 2 holes for the clutch master pedals are all mounted.

Today I finished up mounting the intercooler just have to get some rubber stripping to line the holes with
