anyone know what it would cost to put an S5 TII engine and drivetrain and all that into a S5 non-turbo shell? I know I'd need everything like the LSD and all that even so maybe tell me what all is needed if its not a hassle for you...



I was thinking I asked this in another thread but I couldn't find it so sorry if you've answered this before

depends on how cheap you can find the parts...

well I'm wondering how much labor is

zero. you do it yourself and with a friend maybe

well its a daily driver so I can't have it sitting forever

Better learn to do it yourself..

well my cousin and my uncle just swapped an engine in a 240 and they pulled the tranny to put in a new clutch and they have offered to help me, but it took them 2 weeks cuz they are so busy and don't have a lot of time to work on it, and I even helped them like 4 different times, so I know we could do it. time is the only issue because like I said, its my daily driver

well I got some good advice from a guy on rx-7club so I might do it myself afterall, but I'm curious EXACTLY what is needed, I know you need the engine, tranny, ECU, wiring harness, and LSD. is that it or am I forgettig something?

Well as you might have seen I drive an 89 GTUs with a TII in it... Unfortunaly I dont have much knowlage on the swap because the prev. owner swaped it when the NA blew. But I can tell you that my motor is hooked up to the N/A drivetrain. Now I have the 4.30 GTUs lsd but the tranny is not up to the job. As a matter of fact im doing a drivetrain project soon. New Clutch, flywheel, tranny (TII), and if the driveshaft doesnt fit then ill get one (TII drive shaft most likly) But I can find out who did the swap and get his email if you really want me too.

that'd be cool, thanks man
