I heard that when doing s13, s14, or s15 sr20det into 89-90 requires a few parts swap too. Is that true? And as for the 91-93 240sx, it doesn't require anything. I know that the 89-90 240sx powersteering is on the right side of the engine and when doing a swap with the sr20det, you have to get the power steering to the left, but what else do I need to move or swap out for a different one? Can someone let me know more about the s13, s14, s15 swap into 89-90 and 91-93? Thanks.

Wrong forum, transverse=FWD.

My understanding is that the swap is a little more involved for SOHC S13s than for DOHC and S14s. Run a few searches in the RWD SR forum and find out.

Just a lot of minor stuff for the swaps. You need a DOHC tach so either get that from the SR cluster or KA24DE cluster. The single wire temp sensor would need to be swapped when putting an S14 into an S13 chassis. The S13 speed sensor would need to be put into an S14 transmission for speed to read right. Thats the major things that come to mind and most of those have to do with the gauge cluster reading properly. You need to make a custom throttle cable holder on the intake manifold for an S14 SR. And sometimes for the S13 SR's depending on the length of the cable on the S13 chassis. And some strut bars will not clear the S14 valve cover and have to be tossed.

S15 is different and I dont feel like taking the time to answer it because chances are you wont buy an S15 engine anyway.
