Ok well I started the swap yesterday... I am not done but the motor is in, now all i need to do is wire it up and wait for my new Koyo SR radiator to get here. Anyways when I am done I plan to do a full write about the S14 SR into an S13 chassis, but for now the pics will have to do.
I changed a few things while the motor was out, for general maintenance reasons. New exedy clutch kit, Nissan water pump, Nismo low temp thermostat, Nissan oil filter and a set of NGK BKR6EIX spark plugs for a 1995 MR2 3SGTE motor so the gap is preset to .032".
Also I finally got a chance to install my hicas steering rack and ES bushings, after I pulled the motor I could see why my steering had so much play. The bushing had deteriorated so much that the rack would move 1/4" in both directions. The good thing is now I know the difference between a hicas and regular rack when you look at them outside the car. I will make a small write up on this as well later.
Now time for the pics.
Inside of the water pump housing, nice and clean in there.
Thermostat housing.
Start of the swap... the stock KA24DE that has been good to me.
Here are the S13 power plugs that need to be spliced into the S14 power wires.
Here you can see the interior plug for the DOHC S13 motor its the brown plug and this will be spliced into the S14 interior harness wires.
More parts removed for the swap.
Out she comes!
Old power and new power next to each other.
Ready for the SR!
Stock Nissan clutch and pressure plate. I prolly didnt need to change this since my motor has low miles but why chance it.
New Exedy clutch kit installed.
Here you can see by the shiny part on my steering rack how much it has been moving because of the worn out bushings.
Steering rack out and waiting for the hicas rack.
Now it's time to drop the SR in.
Here you can see i removed the stock clutch fan because I have no use for it since I already have a set of Altima eletric fans.
OooOoOOooOOooo she is almost in I'm getting excited!!!!
Down on the mounts and in place!
Here are the stock SR heater hose lines. As you can see in the pic these can be cut and routed right to the stock USDM S13 heater core connections.
All done for tonight, mounts are tight. She is ready for fluids and to be wired up.
