Ive seen a few s14 with the VH45 fitted-it's a tight squeeze but it can be done.
To get anywhere near a turbo 2L you need a V8 to compensate with huge torque!!!Will try to find the link to that S14 .It made like 300rwhp with no mods and plenty torque.

A S13 with a 115FwKw 4AGE motor will be dead slow.

In a nissan champ bakkie it would be more than sufficient or a lotus 7,

But not in a car that weighs twice as much.

It is a great engine yes but remember to always take the nm:m ratio :wink:
