Get a Greddy kit for the S13. Im assuming you have an S13 that you have your S13 SR into. If thats the case, then you have it easy with that kit.

I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with putting a S14 FMIC kit into a S13 car with a S14 SR20 (I had to go with the S14 kit for obvious reasons).

Buying an S13 kit would have been alot easier essex. The only thing you would have to modify is where it goes to the intake. I haven't done it yet but from what I can see all I would have to do is cut the pipe shorter and run a 90 degree silicone hose to it. Might work, we'll see.

WHy what happen? I thought you go with the kit thats made for the engine regardless if its an s13 or s14 vehicle, since the throttle is angled different.

IMHO, I would find a good TIG welder in your area that can do aluminum and build it from scratch. In the end, it may be cheaper and you know for a fact will fit your car. I also find that the GReddy piping kit restricts high boost applications due to the small diameter piping they use for the hot side.
