Nice zenki, not really feeling the painted trim. The previous owner of my zenki did that, took like a day to clean em up and make it minty fresh.

it nice to see my twin! i didn't think you had the navan fogs? I'm going KA-T with my s14 just casue it is cheaper for me to do that. I'm picking up a complete motor next Sunday and found a full bottom end build for 700 and that is with wiseco pistons, eagle rods and arp hardware. if i had the cash to do a full build on a SR after i got it then i would go that route.

i think the only differences i can see is the wheel color and specs but same wheels

lol, my car is registered in MS, I'm in the military so I'm in California. I did that so I wouldn't have to deal with smog and all the BS Cali laws for cars.

The shift knob and ebake handle are a matching set made by Tenzo, they have interchangable weights on the inside of the shiftknob as well.

Seeing that the S14's are heavier then the S13's, having a CA wouldnt do much justice. Its just not worth it IMO. I cant wait to see how the new motor will look inside that sexy beast

In regards to the front plate and passing smog once I drop in the SR.....

my car is registered out of state since I'm in the military, I'm from Mississippi which only requires one plate, and no smog so I'm STR8!

where in the hell did you find those baller fn's WITH tires for 350????!!!! Nice find and I'm LOVIN the zenki aero, it just makes zenki's 10x nicer IMO.

How much do you think the ka-t route will be? I'm not an sr hater, I wouldn't have mind swapping one, but smog issues would have forced me to do an engine swap every 2 years as opposed to taking all the boosting parts/mods of the ka. Witht he ka-t, I could just about take all my mod's off and have it n/a with the stock exhaust ready to pass smog within a few days(Under the table is like 300-350 ) If you can build the ka-t for about 3500 I think it will be worth it because you'll have a ka-t with more power, more torque, you could have a bigger turbo right off the bat, and it will run like a brand new engine being rebuilt and all. Just my .02, both routes are good tho GL!

As for cost prices between KA-T and SR it all depends on who you talk to.

Now, while going KA-T allows you to pick and choose your parts, more torque and power due to bigger displacement, and easier smog passability there are many other things that come into play.

For one, you will most likely need to rebuild your stock KA engine. Now for it to handle moderately boosted situations of 10psi or more (reliably) you will have to fork over $$$ for forged/performance internals.

Next comes the turbo kit itself, most people say you can piece together a relatively cheap kit, but at the same time you know they will flame for not getting quality parts. A turbo, intercooler, engine management, FPR, downpipe, elbow and the other misc parts will run you at least $1500-$2000 if not more.

Then comes the reinforcement of the other parts... fuel pump, battery relocation (optional) and the other loose odds and ends will pretty much run you up to your quoted price of $3500. Now like you said that is a pretty good price but it's quite the work and something that I don't want to nor need to go that route mostly because I'm looking for moderate power (300 WHP) and just a "quick" clean daily.

Most SR swaps run between $2000-$3000 (ballpark), generally don't need an engine rebuild, all engine management and drivability issues come with the swap and with simple bolt-on's and a mild tune can put you around 230-250HP. Not quite at my goal but nothing a little more tuning, some bumpsticks, and an S15 turbo couldn't cure. Not to mention that SR parts are wayyyy more available and abundant than KA-T

Basically I'm looking for something that is pretty much a "complete" swap with little hassle on my part, not that I am not capable of nor wouldn't mind tackling but at this point in my life I don't have time or money to have my daily down and re-build my KA.

Now in conclusion I think KA-T's are bad @ss and in no way I am I playing the SR is better than the KA-T card but for me and my needs SR is the easier way to go.

I do plan on keeping the KA to maybe one day tool around with and rebuild, boost and throw in a shell but for now..... SR get's my vote.

I sold him those wheels for cheap cause I knew he needed some; also cause he's a friend of mine. I'm also still selling parts from my s14.
