so long story short... 87 T2 (my car) engine blew... dont have time nor place to do rebuild and money is kinda tight right now... found a S5 engine from JDMtigerjapanese.com its a decent price and i can afford it.. but is there a lot to a s4 to s5 engine swap or...?? help please. i want my car to have a beating heart again!

 

You can put the S4 accessories on the S5 keg and install it that way. I tried doing the full swap and it was a major headache that you won't want to deal with.

 

so ur saying s5 short block and put my s4 manis, TB, ect... on?

same as in the faq

 

first, hahaha funny we have the same screen name. secondly, thanks! that is actually what ive been looking for! thanks man

 

alright so im gonna kinda thread jack a little bit .. but say i got a jdm s4 t2 with tranny ... would a jdm harness work even though i have lhd?

 

No, the JDM harness goes in the trash (or you can steal all the connectors for wiring uses some other day), and you re-use the NA emissions harness. This is all explained in the links I already provided.

 

2g3n7, you sand baggin SOB lol but that is actually a good question, im curious as well...

secondly, does anyone know of a decent JDM engine company?? i dont have enough money or time to rebuild mine... and im trying to find a engine through an import place, found one through TigerJDMauto but later found out that they are full of ****! and rip people off. (hence y i started this thread, they had a S5 engine for 1110$ shipped) always to good to be true....

 

If you buy any engine online and not in person just factor in a rebuild They don't care what they send you because how will you return it? or even put up a fight they already have your money

 

ya man... ive kinda gave up on trying to find a engine.. gonna sack up and just rebuild mine... im terrified to do it, but i need to do it and i think it will be a hundred times better in the long run.
