the only difference, quite literally, is the lack of swirl valves.

that's it.

the lower manifold is a little different on the s14, but the S13 lower plenum bolts right up to the S14 upper.

S13 on left, S14 on right.

Nissan thought they would increase low-end torque and decrease fuel consumption by "swirling" the air/fuel mixture similar to a throttle body spacer does on old carb engines. Apparently it didn't hold up to its claims because they removed the butterfly valves on the S14 intake manifolds. Cool idea but ultimately impedes airflow.

On an S13 turbo KA setup, yes.
On an S13 NA KA setup, no.

Although I have no experience with this modification, theoretical gains will be negligible on an NA setup.
