lol thanks man but that doesnt realy answer any questions

The only way those questions are going to get answered, is if you do some research... These questions have been answered, the swap has been done and well, research. Reading is a wonderful thing... There are plenty of sponsors between here and zilvia and the other numerous forums out there that sell motors/clips whatever you could need.

Look are around, welcome to Nico and don't take the bashing to heart.

lol thanks man dont worry i wont take it to personally. i actually found a post of a guy doing the s14 sr into a s13 i found that after i posted it and it pretty much answered all my questions. im jut trying to be picky were i buy the motor and transmission cuz i have heard alot of stories were motors and other items were bad.

If you are gonna do an S15 swap, you are gonna need the whole S15 drivetrain because the speed sensor for the S15 motor is located in the differential as opposed to being located in the transmission like all the other ones.

[berman]

so you just need the differential from the s15? is there any way around that? what is the major difference between the s14 and the s15 i know the s14 has like 220hp and the s15 has like 250hp. but what gives it the extra 30hp. the only thing different i saw was injector size. or is it the tune that gives it more power?

if your doing an s15 swap specifically for the extra power, dont. With the $ difference between the s13 sr and the s15 sr, you can have a redtop sr with more power than the s15 motor. s13 motors are easier to install, easier to mod, and have more tech support if something goes wrong.

when choosing a motor, try to find a local shop. a lot of internet importers will rip you off, i know first hand.

if you decide to go s15, im sure there is a way around the diff speed sensor (if there even is one, never heard that before) There are people that run s15 transmissions on s13 and s14 motors with no problem. and there is no way they have a whole s15 drivetrain.

Go get it, its worth it if you know what your doing.All SR are the same, a little bit of modification and technology that differences from S13 red top, black top, S14 black top, S15 black top, and S15 red top.Stock S13 SR vs Stock S15 SR on a S13 chassis Who Wins??? of course the new one...

[berman]

i think im going with the s14 motor cuz its like 1000 less ill just put 1000 into the motor. what kindof local shop would be selling SR's? you mean like a garage?

[GreGS15]

normally if you are planning on building the car, why not go for a red top? If you are planning on modifying or upgrading, go with the cheap red top. Unless you plan on keeping it fairly stock, then go with a notch top...

Also try searching, there are tons of stickys at the top of this forum. Even a quick google search can give you all sorts of good stuff. The search button is FLASHING RED, you can't miss it. I am sure you are not the first to swap in a EEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAARRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE DEUCE-0hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yea i was planning on doing the swap keeping it basically stock untell i get some money together maybe keeping it stock for a year or two then pulling the motor and doing a complete build. and yes im not retarded i know im not the first to do this. i am doing it because it is a common swap and there is alot of info on it.

You should have no problems doing the swap. Spend as much time as you can reading and taking notes.

The fact that you ended up here, at NICO, and the SR forum shows a little research has been done. That's how I ended up here!

Check out build in my signature. Have fun!

Oh... and welcome noobert!

For the 30hp more than the s14 is only injectors, ballbearing turbo, a little A/F tuned ECU and a little timing adjustment on the vavle train. S14 will be easy parts for you. I've been looking for a nismo flywheel for 4 years now and no luck for the six spd transmission.

[RPS13.5]

my other S15 6spd transmission came with the speed sensor like the S14 does and the other one dint. And I knew that all S15 signal speed feed from the diff. This is strange?!?

[cody180sx]

i know the nismo transmission comes with a sensor on the transmission for a beefier transmission or swap a s13 or s14 to 6 speed

[RPS13.5]

Thats why it came with the nismo cluster (combination meter) it might be an nismo gear box....
