Conversion: s4 to s5 engine swap question
Hey , I recently acquired a s5 convertible and want to know what I have to do converted to a s5. I've read countless conversiona thread on how to but that's by using s4 components to work( which I don't have anymore or the engine harness (the guy was using it to convert his s5 to s4 lol)) . so I wanna know if I can swap over the engine harness, front harness, and cluster harness to make it work or is there more to do? And information or links on how would be great. Thanks!

I guess I'm a little confused as to what you are trying to do based on your wording. Are you trying to put an S4 engine in an S5 vert? I recently put an S5 engine in my S4 and it was considerably easier to just use the wiring that goes with the chassis (s4 wiring with s4 chassis or s5 wiring with s5 chassis) and then just change the connectors out at the components that use different connectors. The injectors have different plugs, crank angle sensor is different, alternators are different, throttle position sensors are different. It's not that hard, just get the engine and accessories in the car and then look at won't plug in and come on here to find the pinout wire colors for S4 and S5 components and then cross them over to where they should go.
