My car was an auto to start with. I had someone install the sr for me. It droped right in. The gear selector linkage had to be rethreaded to make it longer for correct lineup. There's not a lot of info. on a s14sr to s14 swap. My installer has some problems with the wiring. The a/c from the ka will not line up on the sr.You must make a bracket and have the low pressure line redone to use the ka compressor. If you have a sr compressor the high pressure will fit but the low pressure line is smaller.I have a koyo rad with electric fans. A transmission cooler.Stock intercooler and piping. Walbro fuel pump. I'm running a 3 inch dp test pipe/res. and a 3 inch catback. I'm making 8psi with this setup. The turbo seem to spool fairly quick to 6psi and slows to max out at 8psi. The stock recir. valve seem to bleed alot. When the car shifts I get boost spike to 10psi and then the wastegate opens droping boost to 6psi. The turbo then respools. This kinda sux. I just installed a boost controller and increased the boost to 10psi. It really made a big difference. It spools fast now,still boost spikes during the shift. But doesnt seem to fall off as much and respools quicker. Off the line performance is a little weak due to the tip in retard but still much better than the ka. It seems to be faster if you don't floor it off the line. I just give it a little gas and she takes off making around 5psi and it pulls real nice. I G-teched my car by bringing up the cars rpms until the tires started to spins and let her go.I spun off the line sideways and ran a 15.07 1/4 mile. I'm sure it will run a high 14sec. 1/4 mile with a better launch. I'm happy with the power. I want to get it dyno tuned with a safc later. I'm running rich at wot. This maybe due the tps being screwed up. I'm not planning on raising the boost any higher. I want to keep the stock turbo/intercooler setup. I don't know how much power the transmission will handle. I don't want to kill it. I'm running syn.mobile one in it with the cooler located just opposite the stock turbo's intercooler. In front of the wiper bottle reserve. I removed the stock foglight for more airflow. It looks more aggressive with out the foglights anyway.
