I would'nt put a S15 front end, to much money...and i would probably end up messing up lol.

What are you looking to do with the car?

Hes talking about the Sr20 in the S15. Not just the front end swap, dont even think he was walking about the strawberry face.

But in regards to the Sr20 tho, I would infer that it would be a more difficult but doable swap. The reason being difficult would be that its a OBD2 engine system, and the 90 is obd1. But regardless of that, IMo a S13 black top or redtop would be your best platform for your swap. ITs almost a direct bolt on, with some modifications, like PS lines, your gauge cluster must be replaced, some wires needs extension and some repinned. But over all its a easier platform to work with.

In anycase tho swaping either sr20's would be great project and upgrades would be limitless due to manufacturing here and in japan.

Another difficult part of the s15 swap is that the speed sensor is in the rear diff. Not in the tranny, so make sure you get the rear diff from the s15 aswell. IMO there are more parts involved replacing and customizing to make the s15 work.

But ^^ question about what you might want to do is a good point. Its a question you want to ask your self so you dont go wasting money on mods you dont need.

Do they have OBD2 in Japan?

I thought that America was the only one requiring OBD2....
