Looking at engines
idk where to put this exactly but i have a 1988 convertible. I WTB a full S4/S5 turbo engine and transmission combo with low mileage if possible. Ive looked on ebay but all they have is S5 engines and im really really looking for a S4 but i cant find it anywhere!! i was wondering if u all knew of any good sites to check out that you have used. Thanks
p.s when ordered it needs to b shipped within 3-5 B days i cant wait weeks for it |
you can check with the resident vendors on the forum, many of them sell and/or build engines. for tranny, you can check the Classifieds.
on a separate note, why do you prefer the S4 engines? just curious ... |
I am also curious why you prefer a s4 vs s5. s5 has bigger intake hoses, better stronger turbo, newer design rotors and a variety of sensors and solenoids that are just all around better. i have a s4 and I love it but i would trade it up for a s5 in a heartbeat!

1cause i gotta brand new s4 turbo and 2 i heard the s4 is easier to tune then a s5 and i can upgrade the s4 little by little then all at once like the s5 is...i was told it was something to do with the ecu...but this is wa i was told. I'd liek an s5 but the s4 liek i said is easier to mod.

i think you should have just stopped at "i gotta brand new S4 Turbo - and even that's a stretch." the rest is just JHKkkgugfvdyiohIG - if you didn't get that, i mean, it's nonsense ... if you're swapping the stock ECU for the same series motor, you'll be fine. future modifications and tuning are no easier from one to the other. i mean, the S5 motor is stronger and has more potential, but there's nothing wrong with your choice. i just think you should make based on better information. |
yeah talk to some of the vendors on here, they could hook you up with an engine or rebuild one for you.
The e-bay engines are chancy at best, you better plan on a rebuild sooner or later if it starts at all. You can use an S5 engine, it's more involved but it can be done. |
