welcome to the wonderful world of motor swaps. Aftermarket headers wont clear the steering column. Let me guess, the 3rd and 4th runners stick out to far from the engine? I had the same problem with my Fujitsubo header. Try running the stock manifold off a SR20DE, or give the UK version FWD manifold a try. good luck.

You will probably have too remake a set for your car, also there is another issue is the ECU is run off a speed sensor on the diff from the S15 that is essential too make that motor run correctly.

hmmm do you really need one? Its not a 6 speed because its a S15 SR20DE Not SR20DET. So it should be a 5 speed. hhmm but not sure....

Not to sound like a smartass or anything, but have you considered a RHD swap? You could find someone with the remains of a RHD clip in your area.......and give him a few bucks for it.

is that motor an Autec SR20DE or a just a spec s. B/C if you have a 6-speed that only came with the AUTEC Silvia with 200hp N/A. Unless you got lucky with a 6-speed ?

Master240sx · 03-17-2005, 03:57 PM

SICKNESS! I say you give up on the swap, and sell me the motor.

but seriously, try the UK version FWD manifold for SR20DE's. Also, I demand pictures of your engine, so I may gawk at them.
