Okay so i just got my s13 sr into my s14 a week or two ago. The shop did it for me because my mom didnt want me working on it myself since she didnt trust me with it :frown: . But now after its put in i have the problem of heater hoses.... the shop did not say anything about it before when it was out of the engine and i wasnt thinking about it. but now the engine is in and i have to do the heater hoses with it in! theres pretty much no clearance between the head and firewall which is the worst part. also i heard the s13 motor and s14 firewall have different sizes for heater hoses. I know someone on here made a kit for this stuff with all the neccesary hoses but i cant find it. I read it in some post awhile back reading about someones build and im confused. HELP! :ohno:

ya its damn near impossible to get to the back of the motor with it bolted to the motor mounts. the easiest thing is to just hook up a cherry picker to the motor and unbolt the motor mounts, that will be the easiest and will make sure you get the clamps on the hoses tight enough

i got the hose part now, frsport carries a good set, little cheaper i think by 5 dollars than enjuku. But anyway, another problem im thinking of is that with the s14 i have a water c*** valve i have to put in place. Anyone else run into this problem? maybe a pic of your setup? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
