i have a 91 S13 240sx, iam planning on buying an engine from this guy who is doing an sr20 swap. the engine is an s14 1996 KA24DE, got 80k on it. the problem is before i go driving 7 hrs there and back to pick it up what problems will i face putting that engine on? i don't think anything will be diffrent other than having to get another harness. help will be greatly appreciated. iam planning to go tomorow so please i need answer ASAP Also the guy told me shipping will be very expensive thats why iam decding to drive there. but if you guys have any places where they ship for maybe 300 or 400 let me know please i can do that, cause i dont' really want to drive therethanks in advanceMHB

it must be a DAMN good deal for you to want to drive 7 hours.

and there are parts from YOUR engine you will want to keep.

well hes sealing the 96 engine with transmission for 500 lol. shipping is abou another 400-500. if i drive there and back it will cos tme around 200 hopefully the gas prices don't get killed with the new hurracine. he said the engine is compression tested, very nice compression, 190 on one of the cylinders he said. now the only reason hes selling it is because he's swapping sr20. his engine is still in the car. hes waiting on aword for me on weither i am gonna go there get it or not so he can pull it out. i dont' wanna miss ont eh chance cause he said there are like 4 other guys who are offering to buy

80k is a plus. The s14 transmissions are longer. Somebody correct me if im wrong. You can keep the s14 intake but you have to swap sensors, s14 vac canister helps and the throttle body. I kept the s14 exhaust manifold olney because I had my s14 exhaust and I ran custum exhaust all the way back. The s13 cams are a plus to swap in the car (more power). I plugged my egr at the same time. This weekend I will have it up and going once I welld the diff and put the stage 3 clutch in. Next years silvia k's drift truck. I will let you know how it runs with the s14 intake.

i think the s14 trannys are shorter. i put a 96 in my 90 and the new transmission is a inch or two shorter than the old one. u also need to use your old ecu, lower intake mani, distributor, coil, exhuast mani and wiring harness.

i see so will the transmission affect anything? do i have to modify the shift box? why not use the 96 ECU?

cuz its obd2 and pins wont line up. just use the one from your 91. the transmission will just leak a tiny bit. u might be able to get the from half of a s14 driveshaft, not sure about that though.
