I'm actually looking for the same exact thing. I've searched too, but I can't find anything either. Hopefully someone will come in here and see that two guys are looking for the same thing and be able to help us both out.

That link is exactly what you want, if you read it says 1991-1993 parts. The s13 and s14 ka are borderline identical except the head I think, the s13 has a little more aggressive cam in it. But that site has everything you need even wiring how-to and possible problems with answers.

so basically if I have an s13 twin cam engine nothing on the engine needs to be replaced like sensors and such, just do the wiring that was mentioned in the article?
