hey guys i read somewhere that the kade tb on a sr is an upgrade. i was thinking before i swap my engine to swap out tbs but im not really that mechanically inclined. how hard would this be to do? anythings i should look out for before swapping them? any issues or any moddifications needed?

Assuming the bolt holes line up, you'll just have to drain some coolant (the bottom of the tb has coolant lines running through it) then it should just be a bolt up. If it doesn't line up, you'll need to get a plate made, one that has the holes lined up for the SR manifold and another set of holes lined up for the DE tb.

Its only an upgrade on some of the s14 motors with the smaller tb, I think the main reason people do the swap is to get the cruise controll throttle wheel.

The mounting flange is the same so it bolts right on, but the water lines point in different directions nothing a little heater hose can't fix.
