S14 KA in S13

[nrmskate]

I was searching, and obviously we know you can swap in a s14 KA into a S13. But can I use my SOHC Tranny on the S14 KA?

What else will I need to make this swap work?

I have already searched and just found people putting s13 trans in there s14 and swapping the bellhousing.

Thanks.

u need to use the search function a bit better...ur lucky u caught me i n a mood in which i need to feel better of myself for helping someone...

yes u can swap the SOHC tranny over to the DOHC, the whole tranny, not just the bellhousing...all KA tranny's are the same...wether DOH or SOH...only differnece is the 96-98 trannys have a sensor uptop which u do NOT need to worry about f ur running the transmission on an s13...period...

the only other thing ur probly need is the s13 MT lower harness... which ill assume u already have since u said ''My tranny" meaning ur reusing it...so it should have the harness and proper sesors to just re install it...

Awesome, I have done many swaps, just not this one.

Basically I just couldn't find out if you needed that sensor that the S14 trannies have.

if you are gonna use an s13 DOHC harness you need the distributor and i would get the intake manifold. I did this swap on my 89 and it was alot more than i thought it would be.

Why was it more work than you expected?

Don't you need, Throttle cables, DOHC Harness, DOHC P/S, Sohc intake --> (S14) DOHC, same with dizzy, and some wiring.

It's not to bad, ive done s13 sohc --> DOHC, just not SOHC --> s14 KA
