You'll need to swap over your old oil metering pump. Umm... what else... you'll need the air flow meter, the turbo intake ducting, umm... driveshaft, differential, halfshafts

Just do a search. The subject has been beaten to death. Including my contribution, but after calculating my budget and the money needed to make everything work, i found it alot more cost effective to BUY A GODDAMN TII!!!!!!! So currently, i'm the proud owner of a near-mint t2

I have a great condition J-Spec S5 T2 wiring harness if you'd like. It's complete has all the plugs, and is not so brittle that everything just falls apart. $150 + shipping.

An 89+ harness or ecu will not plug into an 86-88 car.

Read his first sentence...he has an 86. This means he has series 4 wiring, which is different from series 5 by a long shot.

Even though you have a series 5 engine, and the wiring and ecu, the ecu/wiring will not plug into the wiring in the car (series 4), so it is all useless.

What you have to do to run an s5 engine in an s4 car is to use all the s4 (turbo) electronics, sensors, wiring, ecu, etc.
