Does doing an s15 front end conversion on s13 change engine bay space? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ANVIL · 04-14-2013, 12:34 PM

Getting ready to purchase an s15 conversion for my s13 hatch and I was wondering if the radiator support being changed changes the engine bay room? I have an RB25 swap and the space infront of the motor to the radiator is very minimal so I would just like to know what to expect.

My gf had her s13.5 done this past Christmas where the core support was cut and replaced. It didnt seem like anything changed in terms of dimensions. If I could dig up some pictures I'll post them up.

RB's typically take up most of the bay and leave very little room up front.

It's basically just sheet metal. . . no room gained or lost.
