ABS master cylinder only has two outlets, one for the front and one for the rear. from there it goes to the ABS unit and the outputs of that go to their respective brake calipers. if you try and use the ABS master cylinder without the ABS unit then one of your front calipers wont be hooked up. you need to find a non-ABS master with three outlets.

• reroute air intake with cone filter
• cut springs (yes i know how dangerous, bad this is but IT will be temporarily)
• short shifter

Just for starters, eventually i will do a ka-t setup but to begin just this, what do you guys think? Any cheap power increases?

I wouldn't use anything other than OEM ignition parts, set the gap towards the wide end of the spec. I'd go 2.5", no bigger on the exhaust, straight thru is fine. Advancing the dizzy is good. relocate battery, or move somehow and have a short ram intake from the the battery tray. My KA responded well to this. You have butterflies in your intake, not sure about those. Remove mechanical clutch fan. You should be able to rely totally on your electric fan, assuming S13's have an electric fan.

true bout the springs ^^^^^ as far as headers it'll b a long time before turbo charging it so thats y..

Will a S13 sub frame bolt into a S14? What about complete front suspension? (cross-member, coils, power brace, knuckles et al).

randomly i hear this 'click' coming from the lower right part of my dash. if im in the drivers sear i hear it from the area of the headlight retract button. it sounds like a tick of a clock. when it happens it might happen, then again 3 seconds later, then nothing.

anybody have any ideas what this could be? its not something stupid like my keys rattling.

car is a stock 91 s13 coupe with stock ka24de.

I installed my clutch fan with a "KA" piece onto my sr, and it didnt seem to go into the fan shroud that far. i thought maybe
it could be that i have a stock radiator, but id just like to make sure.

Just curious, Are the S13 SR Intake manifolds and S14 SR Intake Manifolds interchangable? Wondering if an S14 would work on an S13 Sr20det? Is either one better? Thanks.

[s14freak93901]

s13 SR and S14 SR intake manifolds are not interchangeable.

please delete your post, and google each word separate. a dictionary will help your answer.

fucking is an exaggeration in this text. and classy is like fancy. like opening a door for a pretty lady....

watch some james bond movies...he's all about class.

and yes, i'm aware of the language barrier.

[uLmighty]

Just about every Civic and Neon in "the scene" did it back in '97. If you wanna go that route, go for it- to each their own. Just fair warning- you WILL be laughed at.

rear subframe - not easily, and it's a waste of time.
front suspension - yes, if you drill the lower mounting holes bigger to fit s14 bolts or don't drill and use sleeves for the 13 bolts
cross member - yes
power brace - no

Thanks. I found you can swap a S14 sub into a S13, so I figure the reverse is true. Any idea on coilovers?

I'm asking because I have a newly rebuilt S13, needing only cosmetics, but I've been thinking of going to a S14....right after I should my conversion harness for pennies, figures.

By front suspension, i was referring to the coil overs.

you can swap a 14 s/f to a 13 and vice versa, but you need offset bushings to do it right.
people swap a 14 s/f to a 13 because of the way the rear end works on the 14 and it's a little wider.
when you launch a 13, the rear wheels camber in during the squat whereas a 14, the rear wheels tuck straight up leaving more rubber in contact with the road. so swapping a 13 s/f into a 14 would be more of a 'downgrade'.

[madd ocx]

quick question, are the front lower control arms for the s13 and s14 the same or is there a difference? i heard the s14 arms for are longer, but dont how true it is..

[sickrbs14]

is s13 sr20s obd1

Thanks!

I figured it would be a downgrade since I've found the S14 into S13 stuff.

My sub is stripped and recoated, PBM bushings, welded diff, poly bushings in knuckles and arms. It'd be a pain to do all that all over again.

No no no.. Not some crazy color?! I want to change it from the rare navy blue to black. Thats not outrageous but just simple. Any certain brands for vinyl paints?

no its not anything like that, not running a/c or heat, i have no dc player. It only happens when car is running, im not sure about it happening with the car just "on" i.e. engine not running.

Do KA Single Cam Spark plug wires work on a Dual Cam KA?

My crank pulley gave out on me today...am looking for a used one off another engine. Do you know if a crank pulley off of any year of KA24DE will work?
