Thanks for checking out my "QUESTION" thread -

I'm going to be installing my swap here shortly. I still need to assemble the swap, but I haven't been looking forward to filing the end ring gaps. Not my idea of fun.

Anyways- . . . Questions . . .

1) Which Wiring Harness do I use? I've got a Brand New S13 Wiring Harness which I was planning on using on my S13 Coupe project along with a remapped S13 (MINES) ECU. What's up?

2) Any Difference between the S13/14 motor mounts? Once again, I've got a set of S13 Nismo mounts.

3) Any Difference between the S13/14 FMIC set up? I've got a beast kit that I bought for my S13, and I'd imagine that I just need to trim and mod here and there, but lmk.

4)Anything Else I Should Know Before Getting Started with this specific application?

Thanks Again for checking this out and Sharing your knowledge. Its much appreciated!

-Well the motor mounts are the same for S13's and S14's.-I read where the intercoolers are car specific but you can make the S13 work on a S14.-Anyone else and good luck?!

Thanks for the info-

I looked at FMIC kits for both applications, and it seems that in either event there is a bit of modification to be done in order to route the intercooler piping. The S13 definitely has more room for the actual intercooler though, leaving me to do some more trimming and re-bracing on my s14.

-but thanks again for stopping by my thread and leaving some useful information.

UPDATED with more thoughts

Also planning on using my exhaust and radiator set up from the S13 on the new S14 project.

APEX'i Super MegaPhone ExhaustLooks like I'll have to relocate one of the hangers on the catback, but other than that it seems to line up. Is this Correct?! because it looks damn close, but it wouldn't be the 1st time I was wrong.

Mishimoto with Dual FAL fansRegarding the radiator, it looks like Everything will work and line up once the SR finds its new home, but won't line up to the stock s14 KA.

I'll keep posting questions as they come to me. Thanks Again!!

I have a S14/S15 core in my S13 i had a S13 Koyo but then went with the S14 radiator when I went S15. The difference is the mounting studs that rest in the tension rod brackets. You could drill the correct holes if need be, but if uou do add some bracing too.

I hear that the wiring is going to be a NIGHTMARE - can anyone shed some light on this for me?!
