hey guys im juss wondering if anyone know if this is possible and has it been dun before…
s15 250hp stock sr20 engine onto a s13 chassis
if u got any info about it pls answer this post with all the info needed to complete this swap… what are the things i need…
if anyone kno a good direct link of info that could help me out…
thanx
Never tried to get an s15 fsm. The speed sensor reads the speed you are going at and makes sure that your engine gets enough fuel at different rpms. If you don’t have one, then you will probably be running in limp mode which means you will have terrible gas mileage.
Its a doable install but will be a pain and will cost $$. Wiring will be one issue but mouning will be a pain too. You have to fabricate a new mount for the diff. There are some other things too - but I don’t remember right now. I believe there was an Aussie site that may have had a little more direction. I looked into it but wasn’t worth the cost compared to upgrading an S13 engine swap. It would be cool to se another person do it though - good luck!
okay will i be using the 6 spd tranny of a s15 and use the rear differential of a s15… and im assuming there’s no mounting kit u can buy from s13-s15 so u got to fabricate ur own mounting brackets for the engine, tranny, differential…
You should be able to get engine mounts from mckinney motorsports, they have done a few s15 installs. Tranny shouldn’t be too hard, not sure about differential.
Also, the 6 speed tranny is a good tranny, the synchros are known to be weaker than the 5 speed, but you won’t break it unless you drive it hard and drift all the time.
As for cost, everyone already knows that you can buy and s13 redtop for cheap and use the extra money you would be spending on the s15 blacktop to upgrade, also if you are going for high whp, the s13 redtop can hold more too from what I have read, but if you don’t want really high whp, or your car is a show car/dd there is nothing wrong with getting an s15 engine.
thanx guys for the help… lots of info collected… only reason why i was goin for s15 b/c i might be able to get my hands on one for dirt cheap… plus free turbo upgrade… but aside with that im fine with a s14 or s13 black top…
