My S4 Vert
^^ You're welcome. I have the same "kit" ha ha. It's cost effective does the job for now, so I know what you mean. Here's my vert.
Not the purdiest, but she's all I got.
S4 13B T swap by yours truely.
Mostly stock with the exceptions of : K&N drop in filter, Racing Beat down pipe, catless exhaust system, universal straight thru mufflers.
Stagg struts, Tanabe GF 210 springs, Drag DR 31 17" rims.

Other then that it was an easy swap, I had to do a little modification to the wire harnesses. But if you can afford to buy a Haltech go for it, that will save you from having to cut and splice the already brittle wires.
If I can do it ANY body can swap their own 13B T, go for it

My vert under surgery
This is my vert @ the Auto Emergency room. Just removed my engine and will be putting in an Ls1. I decided not to go turbo2. With all do respect, Not sure why many swith to Turbo2 instead of transplanting it with an Ls1. The all aluminum 5.7l v8 will put out more reliable horsepower about 400hp with a cam and other modifications and utilize less gas than the rotary & not detonate!...It might cost a little more but, the wait is definately worth it.

Yes, it was my first swap. It's a straight swap, the hardest part for me was mounting the engine to the transmission (I kept the n/a tranmission). It would have been easier to drop in the transmission and engine as a whole unit.

Wow!!
Ultra clean !! How long was your vert in storage? Why did you have it in storage?
Super low miles too!!! Your vert is basically a few years old by mileage standards!
