Im thinking of getting rid of it via part out or selling the whole thing because I own too many cars, and I know "NOTHING" about rotary. I havent the slightest idea bout this thing and to top it off its not been registered since 04. I mainly bought it for the s5 lights, wing, mirrors, and possibly the 5 lug conversion lol for my s4. I dont need anything from it coz my s4 was hella babied so everything on it is original except the hood which i put a t2 on but aside from that all is original.

I dont really want to pay the DMV fees if there are any since i bought it lien sale off a tow yard, and I dont wanna pay anyone to fix it since I cant really trust just any mechanic with a rotary, and I dont really need another fc.

One simple way to check if it a GTUs is to see if it has a sunroof. The only s5 (89-91) that came without the sunroof is the GTUs.

Ahh I see. I was just basing my comment on other GTUs threads, and I have never seen any other s5 without a sunroof. But since I didn't design and manufacture them I guess anything is possible.

Yea there were GTU models without sunroofs, although they are pretty rare... And yea people have installed sunroofs in GTUs models which completely baffles and pisses me off...

So yea, I dont know which type of GTU it is but its cool to know that it is a GTU and that I got it so cheap. Anyways, I was wondering since Im in process of taking parts off it. Would it matter if I used the s5 ecu? would that throw off the way my s4 engine drives or what? (sorry im a dumbass for cars and how they work) anyways, would it help at all? Coz im not sure what I will do with this thing and im more leaning on the hopes that my neighbors dont call cops n have my car towed since it has no recent tags.

Ok. is there anything i.e. throttle body, or radiator or anything that would be better off the s5 for the s4? besides the Alternator?

Keep your stock S4 throttle body to avoid rewiring the TPS... Use the S5 upper and lower intakes, along with the dynamic chamber... Can't use the S5 radiator...

No, you port match the S4 LIM to the S5 UIM/VDI unit.

Using the entire S5 manifold will result in lower peak HP on a S4
