The more I read the more I get confused here. I just bought a jspec s5 t2 motor and sick of it already. I'm currently extending my wiring harness about 4 ft but now I read that the wipers dont work. Well s*** so much for that idea. Now that I go out and look at the motor I see 3 fuel lines, and about 5-6 connectors that dont sync with my N/A connectors so wtf? I have spent a good 3-4 hours looking for a jspec t2 swap how-to's and all I got was "Coming Soon!!" I'm getting tired of thinking that I figured it out, and then get shot down the next second. -END NOOB RANT

 

Damn bro sorry to hear that. I know here in the forum there are so many versions of things and one say this and the other say that. I personally would call a respectable Rotary shop and really ask someone there. Because you just never know and is better to get it done one way than trying to find so many different ways. I think there no best way but just a lot of different ways. Anyways Good luck with that and don't give up man! Life is a Challenge!

well it would make sence to buy a tII wiring harness along with a tII motor.....so maybe your problem is you're using the wrong harness.

This is my favorite right up on the swap. Hope it helps.

 

dood You should be able to use a S5 N/A wireharness and just disconnect a couple things from the connector at the ECU side. Download the FSM for a Turbo and N/A. Look at the ecu connector map and compare the two. You'll find they are exactly the same except for the auxiliary port activation and a couple other things. Disconnect the wires from the ecu connector that are not needed. I think the only thing you'll need is a boost controller since the n/a harness doesn't have that wired in. I was looking at the swap myself for my s5 vert.

 

wow, thanks for the inspiration boost! I just need to suck it up and do this. Thank you very much with the replies!

 

I did it about a year ago. S4 though. I definitely am glad I bought a u.s. TII harness. you can check out teamfc3s.org/forum for alot of FC specific junk for sale. and there is a sticky of a thread I started in the Turbo section that I got a ton of help straightening out all the little wiring problems. this kinda thing is all in the will power, how bad do you want it?

 

im greatting ready to do the swap my self btu s4.. and im in the same boat as you.. i hear diff stuff all the time abotu the swap.. and some people make it sound easy and some people make it sound hard. ? lol im sry for the probs and im still looking forward to doing the swap.. till i run into the problems on my own. good luck and i hope you get everything figured out.

 

^^^ n/a harness FTW bro.. . . at least if you're running no emissions.

 

I'm looking for a ecu at the moment, and my jspec engine asks for a N370. I keep seeing n374's. Would those work at all? I have also seen the chipped n374's too. Any ideas?
Thanks, Zane.
