Im swapping a 5 speed blacktop s13 sr20 into my 95 auto s14. I have a couple questions about what fits. I searched and couldn't really find a solid answer. What driveshaft can I use? What year crossmember can I use? The sr20 comes with an s13 intercooler kit and will that also fit? And it comes with a full exhaust from the manifold back, will that fit too? Sorry for all the questions, i cant find solid answers for them.

First, you need a 5spd swap.Drive shaft should be the same ( I don't think there is a difference in MT and AT Drive shafts) don't hold me to that one.

IC pipes will need modification

Exhaust from a s13 will not work on a s14.

Since this thread is here I don't wanna make another thread, Sorry for the slight jack OP.

Ok, so I have a s14, If I wanted a SR swap would there be advantages between the S14 SR and the S13 SR?besides the T28 and VTC?

Im aiming for low 12's high 11's.Thanks guys

Driveshafts are different lengths between 5-speed and auto.

You will need a manual trans crossmember as well.

As for which is better for drag racing, I'd go with the S13 SR. The S14/15s are nice to max out on their own setup, but if you're wanting just absolute power, I'd save the money from buying the later model motor and spend what I have left on a good turbo. You'd have to buy a turbo anyways to get to your goals, so the benefit of the T28 on the S14 goes bye bye.

So can I use a manual s13 driveshaft? And do i need to use a s14 crossmember or will a s13 crossmember fit? Also, what part of the exhaust wont fit. Im getting the exhaust from the manifold back. I can use the manifold, what about the downpipe and the cat back?

S14 parts. You need them.

You can use the manifold and the turbo elbow. The downpipe and back probably won't fit.

What part of that didn't make sense to you?
