yeah a s13 is the stronges out of the s13-14-15 series un;ess u want a 6 speed then u wil need the s15 box (the weakest of them all)

dean6 (?) is doing a sr20 conversion and has mever the master under the frontt gaurd. look in the R&D he has done a little write up on it
BUT u can juts get a custom plenem and it will solve the problem and get more HP Wink

SR doesn't hit the master cylinder, well at least not in my car, and the SR sits alot nicer in the bay than the FJ.

it is running (daily driven), had a small problem with the torque tube but loctite and a rattle gun sorted that out. There's some pics of it on the NSW gemini club website you get to in the links on here, Forresters Beach section- white TG with bonnet vent (old motor was twin carbie) at the bottom of the pictures. Haven't taken any of the motor yet.

I've come across tonnes of articles stating that da S13 box was used on there combo coz of proven strength. So i'll second u on that 1 Gene, but where have u heard/read that da S15 6 speed is da weakest ?? I've neva come accross this B4 in reading. Can u elabra... eblabor... elaber... explain where u heard this and what was stated about it.
P.S pretty sure da dude u was talkin about was 'dean8'
