which front mount do i need for the s13 to s15 front conversion? ive asked a few people and they all gave me different answers, ive done the search on here already too. cant really find a clear answer. can i do s13 fmi or s14 fmi? or do i need s13 piping and s14 intercooler? thanks.

you need the FMIC for the engine, not the car.
what engine are you running? s15 front end wont make a different to intercooler clearance, you still have to cut shit to make it fit anyways.
the only different is piping and location of intake manifold throttle bodies and turbo hot pipe location.
i have an s13 sr20 in my s14, i'm using an s13 fmic kit. everything fits fine, but i had to mod the hot pipe alittle to make it work.

Exactly, even though your doing a s15 front end you still have the s13 frame underneath so basically it's the same thing. You'll still probably have to trim the bumper to make everything fit, but if you get the s13 FMI and piping you shouldn't have any problems.

Ok well with the s15 rad support the only difference should be is the mounting points. Normally it's three mounting points, the top center and two on the botton close to the edge on the s13. It should be the same on the S15 rad support but all you have to do if it's not is lenghten the bracket that mounts the three points so that you have something to attach it to. Remember on all three s13, s14, s15 the FMI basically sits in the same place.
