because there are no problems with the the tachmeter cailabration, you dont have to relocate the power streering hoses and the A/C bolts on to the SR20DET with no problems.

The a/c does not bolt on without any problems. Stating what 240 you have would be the easy way to get an answer. Having a 91-94 would be easier for an s13 sr swap.

As far as the model is concerned I think the plain model coupe with no power crap is the ligthest model. Other than that the fastback S13 is the most abundant and cheapest with the KA24E.

i know its not a straight drop in like wiring the harness and getting better raditor, new fuel pump, fuel filter. trust me ive been research for awhile now. i was just seeing from experienced people here if there was a favored model.
