Almsot an e --> de

[tagbok]

This is for all those guys out there who've done the de swap into and 89 or 90. (mine is and 89)

What i have:

#95 ob2 ka24de (probably a 96 engine sold in a late 95 (know its obd 2 engine cause of the colored ecu plug, blue)#96 mafs#ingen intake (for the de) got this when i found out the stupid 96 mafs wouldnt fit into the stock 89 air box#Both harness's (the wireing is done)#Corresponding ecu (from a 96 mt)#89 manual transmission#new alternator (95+with foglights dont remember exact specs)#starter from the e (was told theyre interchangable)#new belts (alternator and drive belt, keep in mind the drive belt runs crank, water pump AND power steering. heard you can get a belt to run just the crank and water-pump but i know nothing in detail on the matter#the e powersteering pump#new battery(i am using both the exhaust manifold and intake manifold from the ka24de that is being swaped in).

Ok now for what i know i need still to get#new water pump#new fuel pump#95+powersteering lines and resivior#tach from 91-93

This is where i sit on my swap as you can see its been 3 long months (full time work & full time student). not much time for play

Now for the questions#Ive heard that using the exhaust manifold from a 91-93 is a smarter idea anyone done or heard this?#The lower radiator hose from a sr20 is said to have a temp sensor in it; that would be cool anyone know any truth to that, if so through minor manipulation think it would be made to fit the de?#When i bought the car, the swap was in progress, ive done my best to turn the progress from a disaster to working order, but ive no idea which throttle cable is currently in the car, anyone know if there is a way to tell?

If there are any suggestions that anyone has, or ideas helpful hints im all game. Ive read a few swap guides alot more posts and consulted a few shops, as far as i can tell im covering everything before i throw this thing the rest of the way together but if ive left something out would be GREAT to know

Your going to need the DE powersteering pump because it is used as a tensioner for the water pump and crank. Also you can use your 89 power steering lines with a little modification. There used to be a good write up at http://www.sr20.hybids.jp but since thats down its a good thing I saved the whole freakin writeup.

This is how the power steering reservoir is situated on the '89-90 S13s. It's located on the passenger side strut tower, and you can see the lines running to it attached to the front of the crossmember.

The top arrow points to the high-pressure line (which you will be keeping), and to the passenger side bracket which you will have to unbolt from the crossmember. The second arrow is pointing to the plastic clip from which you will remove both lines after having discarded the passenger side bracket.

Here is a shot of the driver's side of the crossmember. You will want to remove all of the return line up to the first metal line coming out of the steering rack. This includes everything up to, and including, the rubber line pointed out here.

[masamunex03]

You can remove the driver side bracket and rubber insulator block if you desire, or leave it as is the case in this pic. Now you will want to bend the metal return line up to facilitate its mating to the rubber line from the reservoir. Note how it has been bent upwards. Use gentle force in doing this.

[masamunex03]

Now move the high-pressure line over to the driver's side by bending it approximately 90 degrees in the rubber part shown here.

[masamunex03]

It is a good idea to secure part of the high-pressure line to the tension rod crossmember with a simple zip tie as shown here. The upper finger is pointing to the end of the high-pressure line as it is bolted to the power steering pump.

This will keep you from buying a reservoir. Now hook everything up. Take your power steering reservoir and the line that you removed earlier. Take the rubber hose off of it and hook it back up to your reservoir and then take that same rubber line and hook it up to the metal line you bent in pic number 4. Using the SOHC reservoir may not look the best but its very functional. Thanks to http://sr20.hybrids.jp/ R.I.P ???

Thats seems like a simple task ill give it a shot that'll help alot, still wondering if its a must that i get a s13-de intake manifold or if i can use the s14 one.

ok, was taking a close look at this and had a question, so im just moving the high pressure line to the drivers side and secureing it? (as the resivior is being moved to drivers side right?) In pic 2 it seems like there is a plug going into the the high pressure line, wouldnt that hinder its movement, ive no idea what the plug is, but is that just something i should extend the wires to or what? The plug im talking about is directly below the upper arrow in pic 2.
