S5 Turbo unit
I have a S4 13BT and want to upgrade the Turbo to a S5 unit.
What other parts will I need to make the S5 unit go on my engine i.e S5 exhaust manifold, S5 oil lines, S5 front cover ??? Cheers |
Don't need the front cover. Just swap the oil lines from the s4 to the s5 and it'll work just fine. You need the exhaust manifold for the s5
|
What are the differences between the S5 turbo and the S4 turbo?
|
s5 turbos are slightly better at controlling boost. You can do a bit more for modding without having the turbo creep to 15 psi.
Thats it really. You will still benefit greatly by porting an s5 turbo so I suggest you do so with your mods. If its power you are looking for then its power you will lose by having less boost with an s5 turbo. |
hmmm...i'm in the middle of the swap right now. i have the S4 turbo/mani out but have yet to put in the S5. the oil lines are different? i never noticed.
|
Well, my S4 turbo is ported and it holds boost steady at .5bar with my current mods. I need boost control!
|
thats strange, becuase in 4th gear i'd hit 1bar with my mods on a stock s5 turbo
|
Well, your wastegate isn't ported, is it? Mine is, so that's why my boost is so low. Before I ported my wastegate, I'd hit 1bar too. :p:
|
Same here i have an s5 ported and i get max 10psi and thats if i really try. If i start from a stop and just floor it at redline i only get 6psi, so so far its better compared to my old setup in which i was hitting 15psi ( which is very bad!! )
If its power you are looking for then its power you will lose by having less boost with an s5 turbo. |
