hey guys i just got a s5 NA shell complete minus engine and tranny oh and drive shaft.....so anyways my plan is to put a t2 motor in it but i need to know all parts required and what work will need to be put into it....my biggest worry is wiring but i do have a friend who knows everything on the swap but i would like to hear it from somebody who can explain a little better then him. so a list of parts and labor please. -mike

 

yo dude, check the FAQ for fc's. You can get all your info and more there.

g'luck dude.

Well you can start with the motor and trans. Also if the car was an automatic you might have some issues. Especially if you are putting a TII motor in there. A S5 N/A motor will enough work as it is but if you want a complete TII swap the parts are going to be more expensive not to mention its best if you replace the rear diff.

 

lol ok everybody, i guess i should have started with the parts i already plan on getting and that i have searched in the FAQ and not found exactly what im looking for anyways on top of that to be more specific im putting a s5 t2 motor in my 91' NA.

here are the parts already on my list:
t2 complete motor
t2 tranny all complete driveline w/ starter
afm
silicone hose kit to re-do all vac lines
t2 engine harness
t2 ecu
t2 throttle cable
t2 hood so top mount will get enough air

and i think thats everything i have found that i need to get.

now as far as labor, i know obviously putting the motor in(duh) but then ill have to wire up the knock sensor and then am i good to go? and how do i wire up knock sensor? thanks for any help and please dont flame. -mike

 

For what its going to cost you to get all those and in good working order plus installing it. You're better off selling the shell for $400 and buying a TII.
