I have an s12 and am doing a ka swap. I have a s14 motor a s13 5speed trans and s13 ecu and harness. Can I do the swap with this stuff? What are the main differences in the s13 and s14 ka24de motor? Any info would be awsome

Spindrift

Yes. There I answered half. Go find the other half yourself instead of being lazy.

I mean any info on the swap would be awesome like what to watch out for. I don't think that u needed to be an ass about it. I was just trying to get a little info before I started. Come on help a brotha out.... Lol

RE-SPECGARAGE

It would be easier to get a whole swap. Main difference between the s14 ka's is the dizzy. S13 came with a coil ignitor to provided spark. Some s14 did come with coil ignitors, but not many. Easiest way would be to find a full swap lile spindrift said. The wiring will also be different. You have lots to learn grasshopper.


PM DAVIS12......He has done this swap a few times I think.

i have a sohc ka with a s14 trans in my s12

not sure about a s13 ecu and harness on a s14 because of the ig coil and distributor... were talking like 30 bux at the yard to get the right ecu and harness but if it plugs up go for it

pics of s12? where you located



basic rundown of a ka swap. because im awesome and i documented it


custom work needed to be down



1. trans mount
2. trans shifter sits 2 inches back, gotta cut a hole for it on the car
3. some wiring, like 7 wires

for DOHC ka's s12 power steering lines bolt in. for sohc, you gotta bend sohc ones and relocate your resivor to the other side




heres some easy steps


pull ca20e and throw away



remove engine harness (pink) leave the chassis harness (green)



clean





go buy a ka from someones shed for 40 bux




get S13 motor mounts



cut hole for trans




trans mount, do what you want. heres what i did i was low on tools at the time so it was ghetto

CA20E MOUNT


well i ripped the ca20e mount off the transmission, then tore everything off it down to the base,
s13 MOUNT - some aftermarket one


i did the same with the ka24 mount

obviously the poly mount wont fit correctly,

so what i do is i grind the shit out of my mount all the way down FLAT for the poly mount

SO,
then
i use washers, or metal plates, to shimmey it to whatever height i prefer, too keep it level


first, i need a drill to drill holes for the poly mount 2 fit though




DRIVESHAFT

rear half S12, front half s13..... jdm tyte



s13's ECU sits on the opposite side of s12..
so when you get your wires your gonna have to go from the drivers side MAF sensor area and bridge the wires about 5 feet to the passenger side, which i used my glovebox at the time

David S12

also gotta rewire your ALT and oil pressure plug... just clip them off of a s13 chassis harness at the yard and wire in




i do beleive s12 slave cylinder works but just go get a 15 dollar s13 one at autozone






SPEEDOMETER

s12's are cable driven, s13 are eltric, swap s12 gear onto s13 trans


BLUE IS S12
AND RED is S13




oils n shit!



pop it in







FUEL PUMP WIRING

all the relays/ wiring is on club-s12.org bro. but i hard wired my pump and fans and stuff








then do the extras
make up cool suspension




add jdm wheels, weld diff. go drift






once you completed, congrats u get a a+




heres the s13 dohc swap im doing now on a 84 coupe








i dont think i could have made this swap more easier for any s12 owner

pm me for my aim or something, im always online except for work, and have tons of info with these pos nissans if you have ?'s

nate96talon

Thanks alot bro. I'm located in va beach. So what ur saying is to get a complete swap and it will be easier. Thanks for all the info and pics. I'll try to get some pics posted soon. Thanks again guys!

David S12

well getting a complete swap is preferred


if you already have a motor, then go to the yard and get the right harness and ecu



i recommend you use a automatic ecu though, if its manual

Spindrift

I did have to be an ass about it actually. You stupid asses come in here asking to be spoonfed info, God forbid you go and do a little research for yourself.


But hey good luck with your swap!

nate96talon

well hey man thanks for the good luck. and as for research i have done alot just had a few un answered questions. and since i was posting from my iphone i kinda had to be quick and kinda vague. but i understand about people just looking for quick answers....so i see where u are coming from. just next time u dont always have to say/ type everything that is on ur mind.....but thanks for the help bro i can use all i can get
