S15 Tranny is fine. there are like all of 5 people on here making enough power to break one.
S15 SR, best choice I've ever made.

how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop???
lol sorry....... most people think that the s15 tranny is weaker than the 14 because the housing is the same size and the 15 tranny has an extra gear. how much power can a 15 tranny handle? not sure... i'm not even sure how much a 14ka or 14sr tranny can hold

Its basic economics really, S15=more money and fewer produced while S14=cheaper and far more available to be sourced :mepoke:

theres only slight differences between them , for me the cost didn't outweigh the benefits and i kept the motor that the car should have came with if nissan brouht it to america

If You Trade the 6 Speed for 5speed gear + Cash its cheaper than an S14 swap.

I beleive the dumpipe is suppose to be better. Along with the turbo itself and like everyone else said... the 6th gear.

you have a better chance of picking up a slightly less abused sr when you go with s15, since they were made between 1999-2003
Someone said that the lifters on the s15 are also larger than that on the s13/s14, still looking into that even tho there are pictures of a difference between the two.
bigger injectors and turbo cant hurt either....

That's retarded.. You do know that Japanese people for the most part do not believe in oil changes right?
Same engine, minus I hear the S15 internals are better... Prolly the same damn internals too.
To the OP - You're not going to make enough power to break a 15 tranny or exceed the abilities of the stock internals so get whatever your paycheck allows.
350 ft/bs of torque is usually all you need to start snapping gears on SR missions.
