Ok so in generally you used the RB harness to ECU, then ran the wires needed to the cluster, and just leave the old KA car harness there and powered up, but not hooked to anything? Also used the KA cluster or RB cluster? Sorry if I'm thread jacking I'll make a new thread if needed.

I USED THE RB20 UPPER ENGINE/ECU HARNESS AND THE LOWER KA HARNESS. I'M USING THE KA CLUSTER WITH A RB20 TACH SWAPPED IN. THE KA UPPER ENIGNE HARNESS AND ECU IS COMPLETELY REMOVED.

well as long as you keep going with "RB is better" it's a given that there will be someone who will keep going with "SR is better" so deal with it

Front clip for front clip:

SR
---
- get front clip
- modification to wiring
- swap clusters
- can use radiator
- can use engine mounts
- can use tranny mounts
- no mod to driveshaft
- no hood cutting
- more aftermarket support (in the U.S.)
- less power stock
- less weight stock
- designed as a factory engine for the S13/S14 chassis

RB
---
- get front clip
- modification to wiring
- can't use radiator without modification
- can't use engine mounts without modification
- can't use tranny mount without modification
- can't use driveshaft without modification
- can't use hood without modification
- not as much aftermarket support (in the U.S.)
- more power stock
- more weight stock
- NOT designed as a factory engine for the S13/S14 chassis

Raine...that doesnt even go for the RB20 bro.
