It involves doing a google search to start off.... then you may find some info that is already out there such as this... http://www.datfusion.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3&mode=threaded

or even another thread just like this where someone has already been flamed and provided with links... http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=467906

I have done this conversion a few times and recommend the following:

S14/15 OEM exhaust manifold

S14/15 OEM turbo + all elbows and intake snorkel

3" off the shelf TBE to suit your model

Brass T-piece for oil pressure switch from Pirtek

1M oil line to meet T and turbo from Pirtek

2 x banjo-bolt barbs for 5/8 water hose to suit turbo

3M 5/8 HIGH TEMP water hose and 4x hose clamps from turbo to throttle body

1 x turbo drain pipe and sump drilled in OEM blanked position to suit + hi temp oil resistant hose (roughly 40cm)

off the shelf FMIC kit to suit your model

any SR20DET injectors (from S13-S15) even RB25DET ones will work

Fuel pump

ECU remap

You will not need to change the AFM as the factory AFM is equal in capability to the DET AFM. You cannot use the DET ecu as it is a different harness and uses coilpacks etc (yet I have also done this conversion too)

Expect an easy 180rwkw that will be faster than your average 'bolt-on' SR20DET setup.

The above in an S13 has net me 0-100 in under 5s and 0-200 in under 13s, the torque from the added compression is valuable to say the least.

Alternatively you could spend $3500 on a halfcut then put a TBE, FMIC and make an average 160kw (unless you get something T28 powered or put one on).

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
    • Mine is all -12, I’m running a dry sump in a billet block though
