I have put deposit on a S14 sr20det that is swapped onto a usdm 95' zenki. The Zenki had a minor front end damage which the owner is selling the whole car along with the S14 SR he had swapped 3 years ago with all reciepts.

Here are the questions:

***I know the Zenki and Kouki harness and ecu are different, and this zenki had the wiring work done by a professional shop, so the current owner and I know nothing about it for how it was done and converted***

1. Being a Zenki that the SR20 harness had converted into the car, am I safe to swap the whole thing into my S14 Kouki? Can I use all the wiring including the ecu on my kouki? Will everything compatiable which plug and play (cluster, climate control, etc.)? (If that is the case, I will be filled with tears of joy)

2. The sr20 was swapped with a complete front end. However, the a/c system is missing in the zenki. What do I have to do about the wires in order to have my A/C work with the sr motor? (I searched and know that I have to buy a custom bracket)

***The car has been sitting in the garage for a year and turned on once a month. Assuming there might be possible rubber worn out.***

3. There is some funky build up on the area next to the turbo. There was a turbo gasket leak before but the gasket was replaced by the owner. What is the build up? (looks like the stuff come out from radiator) What you looking at is the heat shield covering the turbo.

4. The bottom of the tranny and engine oil pan are damped with one or two oil drips attaching. There were none from before claimed by the owner. Possible gasket worn out?

Some misc pics: notice there is the build-up thingy?

Video of how it runs and rev: it runs and idle smooth and steady.

thanks opponheimer, but i'm trying to figure out if i can upplug the whole thing with ecu and swap it to my kouki, that means i don't have to convert the wirings.

Anyone got more insights for the engine?

that is gum sticking to the turbo outlet???

Well Im not familiar with s14sr's par say, but I can tell you that as long as the power plug is the same between the models(should be?) the motor will run if the harness is plugged to the same ecu it was spliced for, no matter wat car you put it in. The only thing to worry about are the cluster, ac, if you have cruise and any features in the car.

But yes, just make sure the main power and ground are right (plug by battery, or should be. Never done an s14) for your harness and you can plug the motor in and run it.

If stuff doesnt work such as your tach, speedo, or ac, you can just find the pin out and run that wire from the ecu plug side directly to you speedo or tach wire, or ac. And as far as ac, you can pretty much just put that on a switch if you need to. But yes, the engine will run, your cluster may or may not work properly. Can someone else chime in?

The drip of oil coming out of the trans where the engine meets the trans could be from your rear main seal or it could be coming from up above and just forming into a drip right there. If you have the engine out I'd replace the rear main just in case
