I recently purchased an S14 SR20DE which was converted to turbo.I bought it because I got it at cost from a shop I used to work at.I was just wondering about putting it into my S13 chassis.

It came with a complete HKS Super Drager exhaust. I know that the headers & downpipe will fit, but im not so sure about the rest of the exhaust plumbing. I checked the website and HKS does not offer the Super Drager for the S13, so I was wondering if there are any easy ways of making if fit without compromising the integrity of the exhaust.

Another question I had was regarding the wiring setup. Does anyone know of anywhere I could find the wiring diagrams? I checked Heavy Throttle and I couldnt find anything on there.

As far as I know all of my other components should fit just fine (ie Intercooler & associated piping).

Anyways, if anyone out there could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Intercooler kits will need to be modified but all other parts do not matter as long as they are for the S14 motor.

I dont know where you could find a wiring diagram specifically for making a S14 SR to S13 harness. If you have the US S13 factory service manual and you know how to read the wire diagrams, S14 SR20 factory service manuals in english are readily availible on the internet, you could put it together using both.

Welcome to nico, and good luck with your swap

I just can't help but thinking there has got to be some documentation on the wiring for the swap, because althogh not as popular as S13 swap, the S14 swap (on S13) has been done quite a bit.

And as each day goes passing it looks more & more like i'm going to have to get my car in the air and do a once over on comparing the routing for my HKS exhaust to that of the stock piping.

Anyways, thanks for the responses so far, If I find anything conclusive on the work involved for the wiring aspects of the swap, I will document it & leave it in a posting for all those who may follow in my foot steps.
