[Master240sx]

the headers looked aftermarket anyways but im not sure if any on had the same problem or wat to do about it..
PLEASE HELP

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.

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.

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....

[racer98]

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 ?

its the autech

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.
