plugin play NO... it can work, but you will either need to rewire the wiring harness or go standalone. The dash harness doesn't plug into the s5 ecu... Even then I "think" you'll have to premix.. not sure though.

For someodd reason, I think your search for "wireing" us going to get few results...

Yes, you can put an S5 t2 motor into an S4 car, and visa versa, you can put virtualy ANY motor into ANY car.
you will not HAVE to run premix if you swap to a t2 motor. And what does that have to do with anything?
wireing will NOT be a huge issue, you can either go standalone (very pricey) or just buy a T2 ecu, and call it a day.
there will not be THAT much cutting and slpicing.
How much money do you have saved up for your engine swap? if you have enough, just get a frontclip and then you have ALL of your problems mostly delt with.

you WILL NOT have to run premix if you do not want to. Although its better lubrication for the engine.
There will be a few things that will need rewireing depending on what you keep from your s4. Check the FAQ, i remember Icemark posting some links about what exactly is required, and what needs to be swapped.
Most JDM motors are in better shape than USDM motors - less wear and tear.
I know plenty of people with JDM motors than ran perfectly fine when they got them
Heres why a frontclip is good. you get ALL of the wireing harness, its a full longblock, you get tranny, and d-shaft and a RHD dash, wich can be sold later if you want.
V8slayer, PM boostedrex, hes selling his t2 motor, and its in awesome shape, with a recent rebuild.
