S14 Sr20det Into S13/ INTERCOOLER QUESTION

[NISR20DET]

How's it going guys a little new to the forums and been searching around, but cant really find an answer im working on dropping my s14 sr20det into my s13 and a little confused on intercooler piping im gonna be switching from bottom mount manifold to top mount just for easier removal of turbo if any issues down the road and I dont know what piping to go with or if they sell a kit with the correct bends already i understand that the s13 piping is different on the cold pipe side, so i've been looking at http://www.240sxmotoring.com/ismfrmoinkit2.html but it looks as if this setup is for bottom mount? any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

If it's stock turbo, keep it bottom mount. That tiny turbo on a top mount would look silly, and the stock manifold isn't that hard to remove.

Man, if you're in a state where you could survive without A/C, I'd go for the PBM HMIC.

I live in Texas, so it's a tough decision. But since I just bought my 3rd 240, I think I'mma do it because racecar.

While having a wideband o2 is a good idea, it is not a necessity for what I am assuming is a relatively stock setup other than a front mount and exhaust. When you get to swapping in larger turbos, injectors, cams, and/or some form of aftermarket method of tuning, then it becomes a necessity.

yea pretty much stock for now, thanks for the info on that bro! , so now i have a question on downpiping if i were to buy this circuit sports downpipe i dont have to buy a turbo elbow then right? it looks like it takes its place http://www.enjukuracing.com/circuit-spo ... -9267.html just making sure dont wanna overspend on my budget.

Nope, that just replaces the down pipe, and bolts to whatever turbo elbow you have(stock or aftermarket). For a one piece turbo elbow/down pipe you need something that resembles this:



Note: this is just a pic of one I found on google.
