I was wrong about that guys turbo being an s15, I just found out its an s14 turbine. So my question is, will this be a good swap, and is it a direct bolt on. My other question is, will a s15 front end(bumper, lights, fenders, and hood fit on my s13, and what type of fab work would need to be done to get this to work. thanks

It appears you are referencing an earlier post.. Please elaborate to the details of your setup so that I don't have to go searching for your other post to be able to understand your question.

If it's an S14 turbine, it's a direct (and worthwhile) swap. There are a few manufacturers of S15 face conversion for S13s. I believe West Yokohama is one. Talk to Jspec.com, but only if you're not a dreamer. He has to field price requests all the time and 90% of them don't net him any business. If you don't have $2000 set aside for JUST THIS, then please don't bother him. (I'm only asking this because I'm a friend of his and he's explained what he has to go though.)
BTW, the $2000 i mentioned is a minimal estimate.

Hey thanks for the help, will I need a new fuel pump, cause he has a GTR fuel pump, and I was wondering If I needed it or not. I will save the money before I contact the guy you are talking about , so dont sweat it. thanks.

If the pump is cheap, go for it. the GTR pump will flow much more than your stock pump, and down the road this will pay off.

Don't pay more than $100 for it.. because you can get a Walbro 255L/hr high-pressure pump for $100. And the flow rates are identical... just the 300zx and (I believe skyline) use a pump that pushes more volume at a higher pressure. Anyway... I haven't heard of anyone using such a high pressure to necessitate a $300 pump.

Its going to be an even swap, so no money involved.
