Im about to order an S15 swap from a buisness out of state. But if I cant get everything needed for the swap, Ill just go with an s13 clip.

ive done all the reading on the forums about the swap that I can. I just want to verify my info, and find out if I'm missing anything.This stuff is on top of a regular s13 swap.

1. s15 subframe, and pumpkin, wiring(speed sensor)2. what axles to use?3. Transmission Crossmember, mount.4. engine mounts.5. gauge cluster.6. s15 wiring harness, under dash wiring. ECU7. ABS computer (needed to convert signal from diff to gauge cluser-->ECU)8. I dont belive the s15 uses an ignitor chip, and its built into the coil packs.

anything missing? ANY feedback is appreciated

Good points, I'm not quite sure that the engine mounts would really be required, but it is nice to have. If I remember the S15 uses the same 3 set of 2 flanges that the 240 uses. If that's not going to work for you then the only other option would be the J30 flanges (same as the Z32 5 bolts). The J30 axels will bolt right up to an S14, so I'm going to assume that it would be the same for the S13. You could always change the flanges around, but the J30 halfshafts are stronger so you might as well upgrade that while your in there.

The Clip should come with the s15 Axles, but I dont know if they will be bent, or if they will fit with the s13 hubs.

He also said the subframe may be bent(although it doesnt look like it) and he doesnt reccomend using it. So im guessing the s15 Pumpkin will fit into the S13 subframe just like an s14 or J30 one.

J30 axles does sound like an option, too. and stronger is definetly a plus :Dyour right about the engine mounts.

thanks for the info!

p.s. I need to be sure ill be getting the ABS computer. he said it sits on top of the regular ECU in the s15. Is this true?
