I was gonna buy a kit off ebay for an s13 blacktop with the intercoler, pipes and Bov but the guy told me it wont fit the s14 SR20. Is this tru and is it because the throttle bodies sit differently?

Throttle body and the turbo out sit in different locations. You should get a S14SR kit.

You know the throttle body sits differently, you just said it, so why would you think the IC kit would line up for both applications? You think the piping is all rubber and flexible?

Just by the IC only, using hoses from home depot and make it fit.

DIY Intercooler Piping (http://www.siliconeintakes.com/product_info.php?products_id=112)

Cheap alternative but works if done right. I never had a boost leak.

Intercooler piping is motor specific, not chassis specific, get the s13 blacktop kit, you will have to make/mount the intercooler custom but its not hard...

s13 redtop in a s14, redtop ic kit
s13 blacktop in s14, blacktop ic kit(s13)
ect...

ect...

Fixed for you. S13 redtop and blacktop use the S13 kit.

Ibought akit for the s14, Nothing fits lol. Ill make my own brackets for the IC and the pipes are total trash and i dnt wanna put em on, so basically I got ripped off on the piping, The welds dripped inside pipes and left metal spikes and shavings. That from speedracerparts, they said it was high quality, lol wata joke
