transplant S4 turbo into S5 chassis

rotarymike · 12-20-2011, 07:23 AM

It's been so long since I've messed with this, I'd like a second pair of eyes to see what I'm missing.

I know I need to:
swap front cover
swap OMP
swap engine harness (& ECU)
swap injectors
swap alternator (different plug and higher amps anyway)

what else am I missing?

This is to put an engine configured for an S4 chassis into an S5 chassis with as few hacks as possible.

Engine is a mostly S4 block with S5 turbo and manifolds. I have the front cover and OMP, and can get the harness reasonably. Injectors are proving a bitch to find for less than $400/set.
