i just got an 87 turbo 2 with a shot motor for practically nothing and i happened to have (dont ask why) an 89 motor and tranny with about 25K on it just laying around. i've got just about everything hooked up, but the switch from mechanincal to electric oil pump worrys me, im planning to just hook up the oil pump to a switch like in a race car but i want to make sure im not going to screw something up by doing it. any input would be greatly appreciated

 

i have an s4 t2 ill trade you for that motor if you want to keep it factory, ive been lookin for an s5. mine has good compression, and just about everything still connected to it, including the turbo.

 

how many miles on it?

 

around 60k

 

your talking about oil injector pump right?it isnt a good idea to but a switch on it.. the s5 ECU connects to it and controls how much it pumps by changing the signal to it. 2 things that you should do is swap the pump off of the motor that came out of the car or disable it and premix the car(oil in the gas)

 

wish you could do that on an s5 with an s4 t2. if you do the omp circuit in the ecu willmake you run in 'limp' mode, and not go above like 3k rpms, i may just need to go standalone. damnit i hate spending cash. but ut does give me reason to attempt

Why not switch front covers and use the mechanical metering pump setup on the S5 motor? The only thing you'll need to watch for is the eccentric shaft moving on you and a thrust bearing slipping down. You'll have to lock the clutch pedal down to force the pressure plate to constantly apply pressure while the pulley hub is out.

 

yeah thats what i figured i'd end up having to do, i was really hoping to get away without taking the damn thing apart again though, oh well, thanks for all the advice everyone

 

last i heard the s5 omp was electrical.
