S4 hava a 70amp alternator slightly different wiring than an S5. S5 have a 80amp alternator
S4 have a clutch like LSD and S5 have viscous LSD or dont have one depend on model. also read FAQ first next time

tdawg88

All the FC turbo starters are the same.

I also heard that you can use a starter from an auto FC and that it's actually stronger than the regular manual tranny TII starter. Any truth to that?

Goofy

Doubtful considering every Auto to Manual swap write-up tells you to replace the starter.

BoostedRex

I've read that too. But I remember someone saying you could use one. I just wish I could remember who and if that info was correct or not.

They are supposed to be the same thing.
Turbo II starter = (NA) auto trans starter

I doubt it it's stronger...

From the FSM:

NA manual and Turbo starter = 1.2kW
NA auto starter= 2.0kW

Stronger...

yes it does
i run an auto starter in my car.

Goofy

Then why do the swap write-ups tell us to change the starter?

BoostedRex

A-HA!!!!!! I knew I wasn't on crack! Thanks for clearing that up guys.

learn to read.
AUTOMATIC NA starter only works on TURBO transmission.

Goofy

Let me rephrase then: Why are Automatic N/A starters equivalent to Manual Turbo starters but not Manual N/A starters?

It feels more sensible for either the two Manual tranny starters to be the same or the two N/A starters to be the same.

or you could search and see why NA stuff wont work with turbo stuff

NZConvertible

They're not the same, they're just interchangeable.

ok so my TII tranny had a NA starter and it was too weak to push it so i found out that it was a different starter so i got the right one and nowmy car is even faster!
