well, it wont be long before I sell the honda and become a nissan driver (everyone has a freakin honda!). So what i need from you guys is...

1. The wiring harness for a s13 sr20det going into a s14 chassis. Now I have heard that you can do this wiring job yourself, but with a little bit of blood, sweat, and some good ole fashioned cursing, it can be done, or you can have www.fullthrottle.com do it for about 200 bucks..anyone in here done it and how hard? any how to's?

2. Power Steering Lines for sr20det going into s14 chassis. Now what about this, are they hard to do? I plan on putting 18x8" rubber up front and 18x10" rubber in the back so no power steering is defently not an option. Is thier any companies that make these conversion power steering lines? can you purchase them? give me some info

thanks

 

I haven't done the swap myself.

My understanding is that the ps lines are right on. The only problem with the lines is when swapping into an 89 or 90 SOHC, that has the tank on the other side of the engine bay. DOHC cars have the reservoir in the right place.

The harness... well, there is information out there. It's not TOO hard to do, but may be worth the $$$ to have someone like www.heavythrottle.com do the wiring for you.

The disadvantage there is that they will need your harness for a few weeks, leaving you without a car.

I guess the wiring to the ECU's is basically the same for the SR and KA... but it's where they pass through the SMJ (super multiple junction) that leads to headaches. Colors match (again, AFAIK) but you will have to relocate the pins in the actual harness connector. You will also have to lengthen a wire or two. There was a good writeup on this in SCC a little while ago.

thank you very much for your help, my buddy has been researching on sr20det's going into s14s for awile and was telling me about how the power steering is gonna be a beeyatch. but i guess i will tell him otherwise...

I have another car to drive for the time being so, being w/o the car is no biggie

 

Holy crap! I seriously doubt those would even fit without custom work. Be pretty damn cool though.

 

havent you seen the august issue of turbo magazine with the cooper 240sx with the 400whp silva motor in it? it has 18x8" up front and 18x10" in the rear, and no custom work, as far as the body goes, just have to get the right offset

****correction****
it has 17x9's and 17x10s

 

silvIa silvIa silvIa silvIa silvIa silvIa silvIa silvIa silvIa ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *pulls out hair*

 

I dunno sounds pretty big...

 

Took me a second to catch that. Hey that is one of the most mistaken words on all of the 240 sites.

 

sorry i have very poor spelling and to be quite frank i dont give a $hit...lol, hey just for fun i think im getting a silva motor...lol

 

Don't worry it will stop after a little while. Most people jump on ex honda owners backs.

Civic backlash.

 

I SWEAR IM NOT A CROOK!

 

ex honda owners learn slowly that Nissan is the boss.
But congrats on choosing a car that has a lot of potential, but is getting to the status of near Honda (a lot of them out there). A lot of people are looking for 240s so betta get one as fast as you can.

 

I doubt 240's will get as popular as hondas. I'm sure the magazines will get more into them but there just isn't enough 240's to go around.... Sooo BACK OFF HONDA BOYS!

 

well the reason many people go with honda is because of the WIDE range of things you can do to them, and many different routes you can take. But nissan is higher up on the food chain, alothough i have seen some pretty riced out gay crap around here on a 240sx. but mine is gonna be GOD!

 

honda/acura kinda owns nissan on the all motor end of racing...
