i want to swap the s4 or s5 13b-t motor into my 88 vert.....my question just is is it easier to swap the s4 13b into my car than the s5 or is it the same, i know they have differences internally, but they shouldnt matter im just worried about the electronics?



also whats easier a full basic turbo swap or just buying the whole front clip? i know ill have all the necessary stuff from the front clip but isit really worth the extra money?





and last whats the best website to buy the 13b-t from????







....and yes i HAVE USED THE SEARCH BUTTON.....plz someone help me

front clips can be good because you might get some good suspension stuff but when you buy ask for the rear sub frame and the entire drive line from what i heard so you can get the rear goodies too if any

the s4 is more plug and play, the s5 can be but you use the s4 harness/ecu. to upgrade to full s5 electronics is doable but its a lot of work



doesnt matter who you get the 13bt from, its a 22 year old used engine!
