make sure u put in a kill switch or something, they are just as bad as civics now. (popular to be stolen for parts) :-/

zenki s14 motor?
did ya get that from zero's?
just some tips, take a look at the oil pan before you start the car. if its dented in even the slightest bit then take it off and pound it out a little cuz during shipping the pan could have been dented in which will cause oil starvation on a perfectly good motor causing it to blow up. its a common thing that people overlook. but if you already knew that or was planning on installing a greddy oil pan or sumthing (available at sonics
) then forget what i said...

yea the sump pickup on the sr is really close to the pan floor. if its pushed in even a tiny bit then the pan floor gets pushed right in to the pickup causing it to starve.
