SR swap questions.....Yes I searched.

[bendychicken]

OK, I'm putting an S13 black top 5speed sr into a 91 240sx hatchback automatic. The clip I'm getting has no body panels. It would have a side mount intercooler wouldn't it? Where would it go? Will I need JDM body parts to house it?

I don't think It has a drive shaft but I'm checking on that. Assuming It has no drive shaft, will I need one? Will an SR 5speed transmission bolt onto a USDM auto driveshaft? If not, what shaft will I need?

Anyway, If anyone knows the answers to these or knows where a good swap quide that would cover this swap let me know

Many thanx for the link. But I still don't know If I can use the side mount IC that comes with the clip. Can I?

All you need to do to use the side mount intercooler is enlarge the hole in your body. I have a pic of it but you just need to copy the shape of the hole thats coming with your clip.

If i were u , i wouldnt bother with the stock intercooler, just save up ur money for a smic or fmic, i heard there not reliable above stock boost levels.

i put the side mount on from my clip,just cause it was there...the clip also came with a 12lb actuator and ive had no problems.

yeah the s13 sr smic actually bolts onto any s13 chassis.. even the brackets that hold it up. u just need to drill a bigger hole for the piping (it even has a template so you know where to drill).

i would also recommend a fmic like the others though... at first i was cheap and opted to stay with teh smic, but i ended upgrading a few months later. most likely you'll eventually need it, unless you plan to stay on stock boost
