Yes, kinda. You are either going to use S5 electronics or you are going to convert the S5 to S4 electronics. This is considered difficult by those who have done it. Not a simple swap at all.

You can't just plug in the S4 ECU into the S5 harness and go. It is simple to swap kegs using the electronics that came with the car.

Read this whole page for accurate information. Come back here and ask questions after you read.

yes. when I first got my 88 s4 gxl I took everything off of a s5 vert and put it on my s4 so It should all work. And also my friend swapped everything off of his s5 T2 and put it on his S4 T2 so your good.

Yes, I saw your statement. That is why I gave you a little more information.

It is not as easy as it sounds. 'Swapping the harness'. Just kinda rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

This is a non-trivial project that even the real pro's around here don't like to do.


Good Luck. You will need it.
