well the truth of the matter is, most mechanics that install SR's in S13 recommend S13 black tops or red tops for a reason. Wiring is one and AC and power steering are the others.
Basically a lot of people get all excited about putting a S14 or S15 SR in their car because the engines have about 20-40 more Horsepower.
Thing is you can install a Black top S13 engine in your S13 add a FMIC and bigger down pipe and screw your boost up with a boost controller to 10-12Lbs and pick up that lost HP.
With a lot less headaches on the install . Even putting a S13 Black top in a S14 which can be done is more wiring work than installing a S14 SR in a S14.
I am not saying the S15 install is impossible in fact I have a friend here in Los Angeles who is doing it soon. He does not care about his AC and he may kill his power steering. He is also quite HP crazy and is never satisfied .
Not for me . hehehehe I am sticking with a S13 Black top .
I was going to KA Turbo but then I looked at the whole finiancial side of it and realized I would spend less money putting in a SR so I decided to do that. One day I will put a KA
Turbo together when I have extra cash and am not concentrating on my career which is a hell of a lot more important to me than spending money on my car. I know that sounds bad. Fact is though you should be able to set your car up to be really nice handling and engine wise for around a $4000-$5000 investment. I am doing mine for a lot less. After that my money starts going to equipment for the studio because that will make me more money in the long run.
Ok I have tried to answer your question and at the same time tried to remove the mystery behind my conversion to Sr to my fellow KA brethren. I am not deserting you guys . I still like KA's I just don't hate SR's
