swaping a s15 sr in to the s13 usdm

[NISSANDET240]

hello guys,
Im intalling a s15 sr into my old 89 hb but I dont know where to start, I was planing on keeping the s15 gauge cluster but it will not be easy to fit it in place of the s13 cluster, an other thing is AC i have no idea on how im I going to deal wiht this any ideas, I havent removed any thing from the engine bay yet couse I wanted to number the hoses I think that will be a good aidea. so i wont have any headaches later on trying to figered out the hose connections.
PS. do any of you need any JdM parts ETC e-mail me:

Oh okie i will try to give u some insight this. All i noe is S15 wiring for a s13 is a real BITCH!!!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sneaky.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':pissed:'> . Ull have to get the S15 rear suspenion member so the drive shaft willl fit and also short of the drive shaft to. Also the speen senor is some where in the back close to the drive shaft. Okie ppl i tried my best and i think i covered most of the problems that is concerned w/ swap. But once it is in itll be worth ur time and trouble... later hope others can add more to this. OH yea u mite as well forget ur AC unit cuz in the s15 its all digital so i dont think itll work but not really sure i jus know it wont work wid the s13 since that is analog

No offence, but these seem like questions you should have asked and research you should have done BEFORE you went out and bought an S15 SR...
All I can say is that if these forums are anything to go by, you're going to have one headache-filled time putting that thing in... not to mention having to scrounge for parts from all over the world. There are a lot of things that won't bolt in from the S15 SR to the zenki S13 shell/clip/body.
Not that it's not doable, just very time consuming.

well the truth of the matter is, most mechanics that install SR's in S13 recommend S13 black tops or red tops for a reason. Wiring is one and AC and power steering are the others.
Basically a lot &nbsp;of people get all excited about putting a S14 or S15 SR in their car because the engines have about 20-40 more Horsepower.
Thing is you can install a Black top S13 engine in &nbsp;your S13 add a FMIC and bigger down pipe and screw your boost up with a boost controller to 10-12Lbs and pick up that lost HP.
With a lot less headaches on the install . Even putting a S13 Black top in a S14 which can be done is more wiring work than installing a S14 SR in a S14.
I am not saying the S15 install is impossible in fact I have a friend here in Los Angeles who is doing it soon. He does not care about his AC and he may kill his power steering. He is also quite HP crazy and is never satisfied .
Not for me . hehehehe I am sticking with a S13 Black top .
I was going to KA Turbo but then I looked at the whole finiancial side of it and realized I would spend less money putting in a SR so I decided to do that. One day I will put a KA
Turbo together when I have extra cash and am not concentrating on my career which is a hell of a lot more important to me than spending money on my car. I know that sounds bad. Fact is though you should be able to set your car up to be really nice handling and engine wise for around a $4000-$5000 investment. I am doing mine for a lot less. After that my money starts going to equipment for the studio because that will make me more money in the long run.
Ok I have tried to answer your question and at the same time tried to remove the mystery behind my conversion to Sr to my fellow KA brethren. I am not deserting you guys . I still like KA's I just don't hate SR's
