revisions in design. they did change around some of the emissions devices for the s14 versus that of the s13 so keep that in mind.

Thanks.


No prob, check out my web site, that shows about 90% of what I did. Then I ran it on about 2 gallons of gas in the tank, increased front tire pressure to about 40psi (less drag), iced the throttle body, utilized my CAI, learned how to shift and launch, scrapped the catty, inserted a "Y" pipe (cut away), ran spiked 93octane gas..almost forgot that one. removed the back seat and back deck.... gutted the back.... kept the batt back there. waited till I had a day with no wind, it was about 40 degrees F. and ran away...... simple really. that's about it.

it's really not hard at all, though on your 95 it might be a bit different. On my 89, the system remains pressurized, so it's only slightly difficult to turn it, but when you let go, it almost instantly returns to the straight ahead position. it's pretty cool, and you still kinda have ps with out haveing to bog the motor.

hmm, the S14 is a little bit heavier but it doesnt sound all that bad. i dont think ill take it off but if i wanted to every take it off for a day at the drag strip seems like it would alright

Give it a try, slip the belt out for day, and see if you like it, if you do, remove the whole system to save some weight!
