I heard theres a faq on swapping a t2 into an n/a in the 2nd gen section on this site.

 

gentalmon@msn.comits possible anything is but u need the rear end, tranny, driveline, ecu and engine same motor mounts out of the turbo i suggest to buy new ones since u r goin to have the motor out... and u might as well replace the clutch... if i can put a cosmo into a 86 na u can do a t2 motormine just cost a little more...lol i needed t2 tranny rear end, same as u but i needed to buy a stand alone because the cosmo engines were only auto... names jaon if u need more info or a guide to help u K...

 

Why are you going from S5 to S4?

 

Everything will swap out fine.



Your only major obsticle is goign to be the wiring harness. S-4 and S-5 are not the same.





This would be a good time to consider a stand alone ECU.



BTW- You could adapt the S5 for S-4 just be prepared to deal with a lot of re-wiring.
