i want to swap a TII motor into my S5 na and im debating whether or not I want to undertake the project myself or if I should have a shop do it.

does anyone know roughly what speed shops would charge to do this? I am planning on going to a rotary-knowledgeble place. (BPR motorsports in mass. to be exact)

I am going to call them but its sunday and there closed... just wondering if anyone had input.

I have the tools to pull the thing off, just not sure if I have the time or skill.

 

if you want a good idea how much ... go to rotary resurections site.

as far as skill level goes.... i would say if you have to ask, you might be in trouble.

I just dove right in, and everything worked out.

if you have a tII long block w/ tranny , then its not too bad.

the easiest way to get an engine in and out is with the tranny on it w/ a sling that can be tilted.

its a lot to explain, so i would get some help with it from some one experienced.


and you need the TII ecu....

 

Id be doing it with a friend whos an SCCA racer and has already swapped the motor NA to NA.

 

if ya find a s5 TII to put in your s5 it is not very hard at all.

yea thats the plan... rather get the best option (S5) since im going thru the trouble of buying a new motor, and get the extra 20 hp right outta the box.

 

I am getting my engine swapped and the R/R from a good speed shop is costing $1600.

 

i just got my n/a swapped for a Tll, it cost me $4000 canadian. thats with the front mount intercooler and custom piping.
