I bought a S15 SR and need a few more parts to make the swap complete. But I wanna save some $$$ and install the motor myself. My friend and I have done swaps on hondas, but this will be the 1st time for a nissan. I was looking at Nissanperformancemag.com and printed out some stuff that might help me, but that install info was done on an S13. Any advice,tips, or problems you've ran into ?

for the swap in general its jus a removal of the old motor and the engine bay harness. then clean up the engine bay a little bit. from my knowledge for s15 to s14 chasis you dont need custom motor mounts(i think). so it should be a drop in, and then its jus wireing up the harness kinda like the wiring for an s13 jus diff color wires and dont forget about ur clutch button(rewired so you dont need it) and the maff sensor(extended). and then the front fuse box needs to be redone as well. i can get a hold of my friend and find out the site for the wireing for ya jus take a couple days i'll repost. but thats jus my knowledge if its right i'm happy if not srry for the miss info.

And why exactly are you suggesting he remove the Idle Air Control Valve?

Indeed I will, notes and pics. It might be a while though, still have stuff I need to buy such as:Down pipe, FMIC & Piping, Fuel pump, Koyo Radiator, boost gauge and other parts I cant think of right now. Hopefully in about a month.
