Yea my fault, I meant standalone, pfc, haltech etc. So if you're standalone there's no need to switch wiring harnesses to run an s5 motor/irons/housings in an s4 car?

 

I have an S4 I want to drop an S4 T2 into

 

So i've been playing around trying to tune my car and now shes back on the road! its still on the rich side but it currently is boosting 8psi @ 9.9:1 AFR. i do plan to lean it out a little more but i need my buddy to drive it for me.

new page photo dump!




this is like day one of the pollen attack.













Ill try to get a video up tomorrow.

 

Good to hear another turbo FC project is completed .

Looking forward to the video .

 

haha its far from completed but here is a short video.

Sounds healthy and pulling and boosting real good .

I can understand it not complete, but your almost there though. My swap was complete and my vert is far from being complete as well. Still great job man .

 

so your street tuning it yourself?

 

Yup, ive put just over 2000 miles on it sense ive started tuning. i still have some more work to do on the tune but i need a driver.

in the mean time ive been buying welding stuff so ill be playing with that for awhile.

 

hell yea thats the way to do it! i will be tuneing mine my self as well. is it hard tuneing with that older haltech software?

 

For some reason it just looks right with the fd wheels, very nice.

 

She lives! An S5 JDM engine, transmission, ECU, and EM harness all transplanted and spliced into an S4 NA chassis. I've finally got all of my wiring sorted with the help of some friends and now just need to bolt things down and hit the road. Please excuse my crappy phone camera, it's the only one I have.

a guy i work with has a slow40... he parked next to my 7 and then it wouldnt start for almost a week.



i started having some clutch issues myself so my trans is back out. yay!

 

Is the transmission drop a reasonable one man operation? I got a whining thrust and or pilot bearing and I would like to tackle it, but I'm not sure I can do it myself.
Seems putting it back on my own would prove difficult...

 

its not to bad pulling it out solo but the install is difficult even with two people in my opinion.

 

Thanks for asking that , because as soon as I saw the picture of the dropped transmission, I wondered the same thing. Because I have the same problem you have, except my release bearing ceased already. And I will be dropping my transmission by myself too.

 

i tried to get some good install pics. I had to have one person push on the UIM to tilt the engine back about a half an inch. other than that it was pretty easy to do solo.

due to only having a floor jack i had to put the trans on the jack while it was under the car haha. you'll see!











the shifter housing is what makes it hard to install. just take your time and becareful and all shall be good! be sure to drive your 7 tomorrow! if you can hehe.

 

Hey that Joshs 240!! lol I'm in murrellsinlet just bought an s5 vert......nice build very inspirational for me.

 

Yup it sure is. He showed me a pic of your vert, if you need help swapping the trans let me know.

 

Thanks I for sure will don't have much space/time but am buying a used n/a trans to rebuild

 

If you dont have someone to help you loosen the engine mounts a little bit and get a 2x4 or something to put in between the uim and the front of the engine bay some wear to keep the engine pushed back.

 

Good job on the re install and thanks for the tips.

Did you use the fly wheel stop to keep the fly wheel from turning to keep the alignment for mounting up the transmission?

 

No, that won't work. You only need the flywheel stop for removing the pressure plate.

I actually took the trans out again yesterday due to it having bad bearings. My old one is back in now though and my whole body hurts like crazy. My seven is driving pretty nice now though so I'm happy

 

Was it the input shaft bearing?
That's the issue my trans has ...and well it gets stuck in reverse any time I use 5th or reverse...

 

I'm not sure. It made a loud whining noise in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th. It shifts good but the noise was nuts.
