get prepared to dig deep into your wallet.
if your a kid like me, GL on the 6 month swap. take your time on it man... dont let TED get to you, he likes to spread hate like an annoying case of herpes in more than just a few threads.
save your money man, have fun with it. make sure you do everything proper
the 13b-re mounts that banzai sells for the fc will work with this swap and get a power fc and banzai sells a harness adapter for both the s4 and s5

I have been planning this swap in my 88 se but that will be the end ofnext summer i am going to drift it na for the summer so my fiance can learn

GL with the swap pm me if u need any info i have both a fd and an fc and fsm's for both

This thread should be sticky until it's done. I wanna see the ending!

The 15mpg rule sounds right, just to be sure the car is running properly and efficiently.

Good luck to both sides!

P.S. Wait, was does the OP get if he wins?

he gets a cookie baked by Ted?

And it shouldn't be that hard, just relatively time consuming and labor/money intensive

Basically, the engine has to be in a decent tune to hit 15mpg.
The drive is basically a "highway" drive, and a good tune should easily hit 20mpg.
I've given the 15mpg figure just to eliminate really badly tuned / running engines.

Basically, the goal is to have a good swap which will produce good performance numbers.

How about I pay for the OP's roundtrip plane ticket?
Full refund on a coach-class ticket?

Shippage for the car to HI would be more appropriate if he wins

Alright guys I'm taking bets for this amazing bet. This one will go down in history if he can pull it off. Otherwise is just another win for Ted.

What are the odds? I got $50 saying it never happens. Though most of that reason is because it's expensive as hell to ship a car to HI and back.

just getting it running well i dont think would be to treably hard REW harness power FC as i think was mentioned. or build you own wiring harness and megasquirt it. now as for putting down impressive numbers thats a whole nother story.

as much as i would love to see someone shove it in teds face its not going to happen here. LOL

then again the OP hasn't posted in awhile maybe he is wrenching diligently.

Actually, it's 176. Ted said 6-months, or April 16th, which is 182 days total.

So the countdown today is 175 days.
