why do company's only make kits for s14??????? it is the same motor right??ive gotta 92 kade and i only found 1 kit.. but from what i can tell the s14 is the same car/motor... now if its only i/c piping or something small like that i'll just make my accomadations...... if anyone knows why they dont offer it... please tell me what the diff. is........ thank you

it will work on any 240 years 91+. the piping might need slight modification if any at all

only difference i can think of is the turbo/downpipe clearence....the master cylinder of the s14 has a better clearence than the s13 because of how the brake lines are set up. most of the s14 brake lines are on the right of the MC..but the s13 is on the left, which is where the turbo and downpipe would go. i had to dent the downpipe make it fit so make sure you get a manifold that is meant for a tangential or on center turbo. unless you dont mind a little banging heh....

I dont mean to jump in and jack but im also was looking to maybe put the greddy kit on my s13, and read with what you wrote would it be possible to swap MC from a s14 to a s13 to maybe help with clearence issues?

no aftermarket intake manifolds are mass produced yet.

boostdesigns has been in production for a whileOBX is suppose to be released in a couple weeks

otherwise you need a custom one made

hitman- the greddy kit has been put on an s13 before. the master cylinder should not be an issue. only becomes an issue when using an exhuast manifold designed for an oncenter turbo but using a tangential turbo

just for the record ( even though struc. already answered) no you can't swap the MC from an s14 because the brake lines lined up the same way....also if you even try to make it fit, they arent very bendable

Just a FYI if you plan on running the SSA turbo kit for a S14 on a S13, You do need to remove your brake booster and run Manual Brake system. Like I did.
