I cant afford an S14 right now, but Ive seen nice S13's going for $1-2000 (I can afford that!!). Is it reasonable to pick up a S13, turbo it, and then just throw the parts on my S14 when I get it?Obviously I would have to start with a DE (91?-93). And there are plenty of S13 manuals around but most S14 I see are autos. Could I even swap the 5 spd from the S13 to the S14 too?? I think I would ahve all the donor parts I need.I know the S13 will likely have lotsa miles on it but I would only go for low boost (5-7 psi). I wouldnt up the boost until I installed the turbo system on the lower mileage S14 (and added retuned ECU, bigger injectors, etc).Im sure I would need new IC piping and maybe a new downpipe/exhaust, but the manifold, injectors, and FPR should just swap right over.Bottom line-are the S13 and S14 similar enough to make this worth it?

ThanksJay
