Apparently different between auto and manual.

I compared mine, both are identical, no re-drilling visible anywhere on either, all mounting holes in the exact same spot.

Discuss.

are you comparing the auto to manual Cefiro x-members? or trying to fit a Silvia or R32 x-member in?

Comparing factory auto Cefiro crossmember, to crossmmeber that was mounting my manual box into the other Ceffy (originally an Auto), but was still under the impression that auto crossmember and manual crossmember were different....looks like same crossmember for either gearbox.

the auto cefiro has mount bolt holes in a different location to the manual, u use a manual s13 one i think or make up adapter plates out of flat bar ($10) drill a hole for the g/b mount and another for the g/b so 2 holes on each bit of flat bar. you may need to chop/ drill a lil section out so your speedo cable input doesn't foul on it.

my adapter plates passed rwc

Auto and manual gearbox crossmembers are the same.

S13 manual crossmember is a perfect fit (for a manual converted cefiro) the only good thing that came from my partner destroying her old 180.. plus the fact she brought a 32.

Sorry to necro an older thread, but I'm trying to figure out whether you need the B-stamped gbox crossmember or the A-stamped one. This website here: (http://www.subituned.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=310629) states the factory manual S13-S15 came with B-stamped crossmembers as their manual ones rather than the A-stamped as earlier suggested in other threads.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
