not 100% sure you may need some different ebrake lines.

Pretty much everything is able to be used cross platform except the driveshaft. you MUST have the S13 DS, and all you really need to replace is the front half.

-no, you don't touch the e-brake cables, nor the brake master cylinder

-The S14 clutch line is gonna take some "massaging" as they are routed slightly differently

- the flywheel should work. IIRC I've used one on my S14A swap. I can't quite keep all of my details straight, as I've done 4 of em.

S14 clutch pedals are different than S13s. The S14 firewall doesn't have the bracket on it like the S13s, so the S14 pedal bracket is designed to be flush against the firewall. The S13 pedal bracket is designed to be against the S13 firewall bracket

I believe that the S14 brake pedal is different as well, but I can't deny/confirm that. I think the pedal levers are at 2 different angles because of the steering column and placement of the brake booster

Yes, pedals are different S14 vs S13.

SOHC Flywheel won't work on DOHC if I remember correctly. Remember, you'll also need the flywheel bolts.

Doubt the crossmember will work. There are 3 different S13 ones, so really doubt a S14 will work.

you guys are really gonna make me go crawl under my cars again aren't you?

it's raining out now, but I'll get some comparison pics of the cross member later, but I'm pretty sure that they fit.

yes the pedals are slightly different from the 13 to the 14. it has to do with the bracket that spaces the MC and the pedal. IIRC, the S13 is built into the firewall, and the S14 is on the pedal assembly itself.

I had to shim the 13 pedal that I installed on my S14, but it worked. if you have the 14 pedal, you may have to grind that part off.
