now i know i searced and foudn threads but nothing really head good answers so if some one could link me to a better thread that would be nice.anyways ive found a nice s5 roller and a wrecked s4 TII.both are turbo cars I just wanted to know how difficult it was to swap s5 harness onto s4 engine and what parts off the s5 engine needed to be use to make it work with s5 ecu/harness.thanks again and sorry for the thread that prob gets covered constantly

 

I wouldn't even bother. Get an S4 harness.

 

ive got a complete s4 car to work with.can you offer me some more insight?

 

i can. you do NOT need to swap the harness. You can swap the front cover, and all other s5 peripherials. Just bolt them on the s4 motor. Use the S5 injectors, turbo, UIM, LIM... There are a couple sensors that will need to be stripped and rewired to fit... like the o2 sensor for example.

If you go ahead with the swap, just post any issues you run into, or PM me with them and I'll help you out.

 

So. You are reading these words. Right? Well, just go to the scroll bar on the far right of this page and scroll allllll the waaaaay down to the bottom of this page.

At the bottom you will find SIMILAR THREADS. Read one or two or more.

 

I never said it needed to be done, just something I would rather not mess with

 

well than why post here? This guy does want to 'mess with it', and there is plenty of knowledge on this forum to do it.

 

No , he wanted to know how difficult it is. Unless you're ready for alot of work and a headache, why **** with and deal with the hassle?

 

it's no worse than putting all the peripherials on ANY MOTOR... If you are prepared to take a short block and install, then you are in for no worse of a headache by having an S4 motor going into an S5.

Maybe be you would do it becasue you are making the best of the resources you have at your disposal.

Something tells me you are not too bright. /life

 

Something tells me you have some serious emotional problems if you're bitching because I would do something differently than you. Next time you want to be an opinion/post ****, go look in the mirror and remember it's never too late to go to the clinic and ask them to abort you

 

whos bitching? ... your the one using all the vulgar language.

Your posts haven't added anything to the value of this thread. you are the one posting things that are clearly gerneralized opinions that could be 'copy and pasted' in to every thread on the board.

insightful!!! how helpful.

well in that case, let's hear what you have to say about this project that 'you'd rather not mess with'.

Have you swapped an S4 motor into an S5? Have you put an S4 motor into an S4? I would guess no, because, AGAIN, your posts are general, blanket statements that offer no aid to the OP's problem.
