yup, but you need one of the stock S13 cooler pipes to bolt onto the core to get it to fit. also you will need to bend the mounts where it bolts onto, but you should have no problems doing that.

of course its worth it. if you want a minor upgrade and cant afford an FMIC

there are two pipes bolted to the core of the stock IC, one of the S13 ones you have on your car now has to be used with the S15 cooler. so you remove one, and put one of your old ones on. from memory, looking at the front of the S15 cooler, the pipe that points to the left (the entrance) must be removed from the core, and your S13 pipe coming from the top replaces it.

i think that makes sense

if you got a ca18 s13 then you will need the metal pipe off sr20 13's stock cooler.

I have a stock S15 cooler in my s13. It's roughly the same size, but the core is a bit thicker.
Dumhed put it in there for me and I think he used the stock s13 piping. I definatly fits though.
Can't really compare it to the stock s13 one cause it wasn't a quick change-over (car was off the road for quite a while as heaps of other work needed to be done to it).
