First of all, you need to do some investigation into your engine options. The Z32 engine swap is NOT easy. The SR20DET swap is a piece of cake in comparison. And displacement is only part of the equation...you'll have more money left over after the SR20DET swap for upgrades than you would after a Z32 swap. I'd say just bolt a turbo kit on your KA and smoke 'em.
Do a search Eric

Last I checked the S14 didnt weigh in at 3500 pounds. You must be looking at the weights posted inside of the door jam, that is how much the car weighs with 5 people that roughly weigh around like 170 to 200 and a full tank of gas and what not. I know someone else can clear that up for me.
Its not exact but the s14 weighs in somewhere at around 2700 or so with you in it probaly. |

I looked for the info, but couldn't find it right away. www.google.com Eric

If I remember correctly the S14 is 2810-2870 lbs.
S13's are almost exactly 100lbs less. Not a huge weight difference at all. Don't eat for a week and I'm sure you'd get an advantage. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'> |
