i followed the s4 guide for my swap and its pretty much the same process

will the S4 TID work for my S5 engine? got it for 20 bucks, didnt wanna lose a possible good offer.

it will work.... but there will be one vacuum port missing on the TID.. the s5 has three holes in the TID and the s4 has 2 holes... just drill one in the TID, no problem...

on the s5 the biggest hole on the TID is for your ABV (air bypass valve). the other two connect to the duty solenoid valve and to the oil filler neck.... this is page f2-7 in the FSM which is available in the FAQ which you will be needing if youre doin this swap...

is this goin to be a stock swap or are you gonna have any mods?? are u keeping emissions?>??>>

The one in my sig. (also in the FAQ) has both S4 and S5 info.

im planning to do mild upgrades, catback exhaust, intake, lower, rims, MAYBE upgrade the turbo down the road and get a FMIC, and possibly RTEK as well. but for now its just a jdm engine.
im keeping emissions for the time being, we'll see how long that lasts haha

rims doesn't count as an upgrade.

if you choose to rtek there shouldnt be a problem with the swap.

Parts List:

JDM TII S5 engine
S5 TII Transmission
TII Drive Shaft
TII Rear Differential
TII Half Shafts
5 Lug hubs and 4 piston brakes if you do not already have them
Good condition S5 Emissions harness from your NA (simple rewire to make it work 2 solenoids become boost controller and the other is for knock sensor) Just look at FSM for TII and NA look for differences in the pinouts. It's fairly simple to figure out.
S5 TII ECU (I would recommend an N370 USDM ecu over the N374 but if it comes with your swap try it first, you may get lucky)

Tools:

Engine Hoist - optional engine leveler recommended
Jack Stands
Decent Socket Set (pneumatic tools a plus)

While you are at it you may want to tackle the bushings, undercoating, and all of the stuff that I wish I had done Hindsight being 20/20 and all.

thank you all so much, i think i found everything i need, getting the last 3 parts tomorrow, just the waiting game now
quite possibly the greatest feeling ever is having this come together.
at the worst time...gotta get sleep and i need to get up for work in just a few hours.. haha

Note: If you are like me and enjoy using cruise control from time to time, the cruise control computer (driverside kick panel) and the cruise control (part that pulls/releases the cable) are different from NA to TII. Once you source the parts, they are simply plug & play.

These turbo motors are kind of picky when it comes to modding so I suggest getting the Rtek even if you do just exhaust and intake, and to defiantly get it if you upgrade your turbo. Other than that GL on your swap.

cantera

yeah but ive read the rtek forums over and over, i understand what it does but it seems like its very hard to tune yourself, or at least while i read it i have a little difficulty grasping it.

I forgot you'll also need a TII fuel pump or a Walboro. I'm running a Walboro.

I also have a Sard Intake and free flowing exhaust running off an N370 stock ecu, with no troubles. I'm suggesting a Rtek or stand alone might not be a "haft to have" item until you start upgrading to a bigger turbo, bigger injectors, etc.

cantera

ive got another question about the s4 TID; can i T into an existing tube or do i have to have a separate port for it?
